Video Card Installation

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my video card from a Geforce4 MX 440 to a GeForce3
Ti 200, I manage to get my new card in the computer but when i turn it on,
the monitor goes to sleep. It is as if the monitor is receiving no signal
from the computer. I was wondering if there is anybody here that can tell me
why.

A friend of mine suggested that I install the drivers with my old card then
put the new card in. I put the new CD in and clicked install drivers when
this message showed up,

"The software you are installing for this hardwa

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440

has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows
XP.

Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the
correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future.
Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact
your hardware vendor for products that have passed the Windows logo testing."

Then I am presented with 2 options, continue anyway and stop installation.

I noticed that the name of the card is my original video card in the driver
installation window.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

What do the instructions with the card say about how to install?

Did you uninstall the software for the old card from Add/Remove programs in
Control Panel and then go into Device Manager and uninstall the old card first?
If so then did you try removing the new card and then reinserting it to make
sure it's seated properly?
