Trouble Installing verto geforce2

The drivers that come with the card are not xp certified. If you can force the install then afterward go to ms update and get the updated drivers. It worked for me.

Hi I guess that one of the cards is a pci device if so try it in a different slot.

A few things I would attempt to see what is wrong would be to disable the onboard video in BIOS (you may have done this), uninstall the current display drivers (make sure you have them on your hard drive or disk in case you still can't get the new card to work / if I remember correctly, uninstalling is the equivalent of changing your display to vga in xp), and try to enter xp in troubleshooting mode to see if it boots.

Have you installed the latest DirectX drivers in Windows yet? I know you hadn't gotten into XP with the new card, but you will want to have this installed anyway prior to installing the GF2.

Before installing the geforce card, I would download the latest drivers. I never install hardware using the CD as it is never upto date anyway. You can locate the XP drivers at http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/30.82/30.82_winxp.exe

I would try installing these drivers before inserting the new video card (i haven't actually tried this before, it may not work if the installation program does not see the hardware)

Don't forget that there is always the possiblility that hardware out of the box could be defective.
