Default increasing graphics memory

It sounds like this is an integrated graphics card, therefore you should
change the amount of memory allocated to the card in the BIOS.

Default increasing graphics memory

With integrated video thier is a trick to it when a video adapter is added to
the pc...First install the on-board video using intels chipset installation
utility
& the graphic drivers,etc.Once up & running,open device mgr,expand the
display
tree,R.click,select uninstall,do not restart pc,once thru,close
out,shutdown pc.
Power off,install video card,start pc,adjust BIOS for card,leave on board
active,
boot to xp.In xp,install card drivers/software,once thru w/o restarting,open
device mgr,re-uninstall board graphics,close,restart pc...Now both are
working
for you...
