Hey everyone, thanks for the responses so far! Dennis, did you realize you sent your reply directly to me, and not the list? I'll forward it to the list for everyone else to read though, so don't worry about it, it'll end up in the archives.
The card I have is a gforce ti4200, and it is an AGP card. I was not aware of the issues with having a card in the pci slot right next to the agp slot, but I know that's not the problem... since when I put this motherboard in, there was another pci slot compared to what was on the old motherboard, so I used the pci slots that lined up with the slots on the back of the computer I'd already removed, which left the pci slot next to the agp slot open. I do know that there are nvidia drivers I can try, but I'm at a loss as to ~how~ I can, since I don't have a video output to look at to select anything. Is there a way to offer the nvidia drivers to my computer without needing to see anything on the monitor? Like something I can set up with a boot disk or something? Preferably something I can safely set up from my dad's windows computer (we're not sure how secure his computer is, and haven't had time to fix it yet) because I really really don't want to have to remove all the hardware and put the old stuff back in. Just so you know why I don't want to mess with removing the new hardware and putting the old hardware back in, it is because when I put all the new hardware in last night, that was the first time I did a hardware installation that significant without someone hovering over my shoulder to watch me through the process. I did have a friend on the phone, who was able to help me with a couple of small things I didn't know myself, but he wasn't familiar with the motherboard himself. I would rather not have to pull stuff out and put stuff back in a bajillion times. Also, I haven't had a chance to try the windows boot disk, to make sure that the video card does indeed work, and it is in fact a drivers issue, but I will do that when I get home from work tonight. I didn't have the chance to do it before work today, and had to go to sleep last night. Ug. ~~ >^..^< ~~ I'm a gmail user!
