My friend just bought a new video card for his emachines computer and for some reason its not recognizing the video card he tried installing it with the normal drivers and it said it couldnt find any compatible drivers when he used the cd... he installed some drivers off of the site successfuly but it wont use the video card instead of his onboard.

He has an emachines with windows 7 64 bit
this is the card he has.

WOW, My friend is a ra-tard xD
He lives far away so he did this by himself and he did not put power to his video card?
We'll see if we have problems in the future lol.

Have him go into the BIOS and change the primary display output to his PCI-X slot. If possible, also disable the onboard video and make sure it's still not sharing any system RAM with it.
