Re: disable automatic driver installation?

my gateway model is media center gt4016 I tried looking through the
manual (I do have a pdf copy) it does not have any information on
disabling devices but I will try to reinstall and see what happens.
thanks

Just did a quick search and your MB is an F. I. C(First International
Computer)... I have to admit that I found it hard to believe that a MB
wouldn't let you disable your OB graphic or Enable a default one. This
one doesn't but on the hand there's the frame buffer size that might do
it for you.

Apparently some mother board will automatically disable your onboard
video if you disable your frame buffer size. Try and see if you have the
option to change it from "128m" to "disable"
Good Luck :geek:

there is an option to disable frame buffer size, but when I did that I
got no picture and It looks like my computer either freezes on first
boot device which is my cd-rom drive or it tries to look for software.

Had to reset my bios with cmos jumper.
thanks for any other suggestions

After changing the setting did you power off and Plug your monitor
cable in your new video card?

Right now this seems to work even my device manager recognize the graphic
card as 7900gs instead of avg adapter.

I hope it will stay working this time.

thanks for all your help

You're welcome...
just curious, what made it work?
Was it the disabling of chipsets -frame buffer size or do you have two
video adapter in you device manager?-

before disabling frame buffer, install the card an driver; and even
though the system still had video coming from the system port instead of
the card, I then tried disabling frame buffer size again. Now video
comes from the card and device manager list display adapter as 7900 gs.
