I apologize if this has been answered before, I had a bit of trouble registering and I think I used to search function properly or not, but I digress.
My mom bought a Gateway GT5028 with an integrated gforce 6100. The previous owner had some trouble with the graphics, although I think it was more a software issue because it straightened out after a fresh install of XP MCE 2005 OEM. I still felt it would be a good idea to get a PCI-E 16x graphics card so I got a cheap one from newegg, a 7300 GS.
I can't get the pc to recognize this card. I tried 15 different ways like uninstalling the driver for the old one first, then putting the card in, having the driver installed and putting the card in, and even tried installing the driver from the cd or downloading the driver from nvidia and NOTHING. The bios is a phoenix award bios and I don't see a thing in there for disabling the integrated graphics. I tried the 7300 card in my emachine and it found it right away.
What gives?
