Did you properly un-install your old video card before installing the new card?

You should have used add/remove programs to remove any card specicfic programs.
Then go into device manager, and remove the display adapter.

If not, there may be remnants of the old driver getting in the way.

At this point, the best way to remove any remanents of the old driver would be with a registry utility such as Norton WinDoctor, or Meijenix Fix-It.

I would also update the AGP mini-port driver for your mother board.

Then, check the manual for the new card, and verify that there are no special settings required in the BIOS setup.
