Trouble getting my ATI 3D Rage II PCI card to work in windows XP

[DiZASTiX]

Ok, so I have to send in my PCIe card for repair and my only other video cards are either AGP or PCI. My motherboard (MSI K8N Neo4 Plat.) does not have any AGP slots so I am forced to use a PCI video card. I grabbed an old ATI 3d Rage II PCI card and plugged it in. I set the setting in my bios to use my PCI slot as my primary display. I can see the bios splash screen and get into the bios and all, but as soon as it hits windows, the whole screen goes solid bright green.

I booted back using my PCIe card (haven?t sent it out yet, need to get this PCI card working first) and windows is having trouble adding the card. It gives the following error:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

The weird thing is, I had this card working in the same system 2 weeks ago. I just plugged it in and it worked...I know the card is not broken, because I have tried two other PCI cards and get the EXACT same results. I also tried different PCI slots, but no luck.

Specs:
- Windows XP Pro
- MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum motherboard
- AMD 3000+ CPU
- 512mb Kingston ValueRAM PC3200
- OCZ Modstream 450w power supply
- Samsung SyncMaster 173s monitor

Please help me!

Are you sure you haven't played with any settings either in Win or BIOS since you last tried it?

Maybe, boot into SAFE MODE, disable the pci-e card's drivers, then reboot into normal and see what happens

yeah, I didn't change anything.

When I try to boot into safe mode it goes through loading all the stuff and then when it is about to hit windows I get the "Video mode not supported" box on my monitor...

EDIT: I uninstalled all of the drivers to my previous (PCIe) video card and rebooted into safe mode, still gave the video mode not supported error, just for kicks I booted into normal windows and it works! Thanks for your help...

When you boot, press F8, but this time, instead of going into SAFE MODE, go into VGA mode
