Hey guys,
I just installed a Geforce 2 mx400 PCI 64mb sdram video card onto my computer. After putting it into my computer I installed it. Now after all of that I open up a game to make sure it works and... it says

heres more detail:

<< My prevouis Video card is intergrated onto my motherboard so i cannont remove it pyschically... >>



did you at least disable and/or delete all the drivers for the old video card
 
I went into my CMOS settings and made sure that it was using the PCI (Geforce) graphics card instead of the onboard one...
 
The Nvidia tech support line is always busy so i thought you guys might know... Is there anything else i have to do ive disabled the video card but maybe theres software for my onboard vid card i might have to uninstall... any ideas?
 
Go into Device Manager and remove both the onboard and the NVidia cards. Got to Display, Settings, Advanced, Adapter and make sure it says Standard VGA. Reboot and let Windows find the new NVidia and when it asks point it to the driver CD.
 
okay I removed both from device manager but when i re started it. It found both my onboard and nvidia cards and installed them both automatically. Now im back were i started. Is there anyways to Totally disable my onboard video card? I tryed just removing the on board and i still get error when trying to play a game...
 
extra information
The onboard graphics card im trying to remove is a:

Intel(r)82810E Graphics Controller

So i removed it like i was told but im still having problems so i went to device mananger and looked under system devices and i saw a Intel82810e DC-133 system and graphics controller.


So do you guys think if i remove that (Or just disable it) that my Nvidia video card will finally work?
