| 16006 | 2001-07-23 10:00:00 | I bought a 32 meg pci video card for my nephews aging computer so he could play a few games but I'm having problems disabling the on board video.I've disabled it in the device manager.I even reformated and didnt load the drivers for it.Still it crashes and burns when I go to anything over 256 colours. I installed it in my own pc and had it up and running in ten minutes playing quake 3....sweet.My nephews computer is a hp pavillion 8120 . |

| 16008 | 2001-07-23 21:51:00 | hi Rob, if it can't be disabled in the bios, then it's likely to be impossible to disable. (HP frequently remove the jumper pins off the otherwise generic motherboard)Therefore, install drivers for both cards, then go into the display properties and set the new card to be the primary display, and turn off extended desktop. I went through a similar issue with a similar HP, this proved to be the only way to create a stable machine. |
