VGA not being compatable? That shouldn't be the issue. We need to know what's going on, start from the top and list symptoms and what errors are popping up if any.
no error on pc screen i tested the card it says it list vga not compatible with geforce 8500gt and that is listed next to report my monitor keeps flicking on and of works on my partners pc have tryd new card still same problem.
You can try and install it from device manager. Download and unpack the driver, then stop. Go to device manager display>update driver>browse my computer>let me pick>have disk>point it to the downloaded driver .inf file and double click it> hit ok, let it install.

hi thefabe, he already has the latest drivers , i run 2x 8500gt's in sli mode with no probs at all i wonder if the resolution is not set correctly?
Thanks pebbly: I understand that I was just trying to make sure it was installed correctly. It's a little hard to understand exactly what he is talking about. (no offence intended). A lot of times resolution problems can be cured once a driver for the monitor is installed and the native resolution reconized. He may also want to check his cables and the pins. As well as listing his monitor so we cn see if their is a driver for it. Fabe
hi thefabe yes it does sound more monitor related than card, it really pays to fill in system specs so others have a better oppertunity to offer advice
my setting for monitor ia 1440x900 recommened

so are you trying to say that the card is not compatible with vga on windows 7? the compatability list you pointed to is for xp/vista only i think you will find it is compatible with 7 . have you tried loading the driver in compatibility mode for vista? when you swapped the monitor over to your gf's pc did you also swap cables?
