dual display adpater

If your machine is also detecting the new video card you have installed go to the System Icon in Control panel double click the display adapters item and disable the appropriate card through its properties sheet. Choose "disable in this hardware profile" . This should fix your problem.

You can try an identify the video chipset on the mainboard, or go to the manufacturer's web page and look for your model of PC it may tell you or even provide you with the proper drivers.

on the motherboard, there should be an embeded chip. this chip will usually say something regarding 'video' that is the type of video you have. then got to the properties of my computer and check on video and disable it.

You should be able to figure out what integrated display adapter you have from your motherboard vendor site and you probably could get the proper drivers from there also.

You do know your motherboard make & model don't you?

First thing is that windows will use a generic video driver and set the video card as a standard vga adapter. This will only allow 16 color. I would suggest finding the right drivers for the video chipset and downloading and installing them. If you don't want to do that. Look on the motherboard for a jumper that you can disable the onboard video with or look in your bios and see if you can disable it in there. You can also go into device manager in windows and right click on the on board adapter and go to properties and check the box that says disable device. The next time you reboot the card will be disabled.
