Try reseating the card a few times this is normally that problem,it might not be seated right,also try it in another PC if you have no luck.

Thanks Mem,by reseating do you mean push it in all the way?(it is)Or just push it in and pull it out a few times?What would that accomplish?

Yes. Some AGP cards need to be really pressed in hard so they snap into place twice. It's often hard to tell but after the first click often only the front is fully seated but the back is only partially in.

Take out the card and push firmly until you're absolutely sure that the front and the back have both snapped into place.
