You don't get image output through that card? If that's the problem using your old videocard enter the BIOS and change the primary video adapter.... this only works if you have one AGP and one PCI card.

.If you have a video card, and have just given the wrong information, then you uninstall your current video drivers, turn off your computer, put in the card, turn it on. It will start working straight away for the BIOS, when Windows boots, it will detect the new video card, and install generic drivers for it. You can keep using it this way, but you should download and install the latest drivers for it from the manufacturer's website.

Ahhhh so I have to delete the current video card software and it'll then install then new one automatically?

You uninstall (not just delete) your old video card software/drivers, if you ever installed the proper ones. If you left the Microsoft generic ones there, you don't need to uninstall anything. Once you power on with the new video card, Windows will start using generic drivers suited to the new video card.

Nothing at all? Please describe in more detail your new problem, if absolutely nothing happens, then you haven't switched it on
