    The only thing in Device Manager under display adapters is the GTS250. When I disable it everything runs fine except my games. It says there is no 3D driver. How do I get a picture of the device manager?

    OK. When you disable the GTS250, the on-board card takes over : it is not as good hence the games no longer work as expected. You want to try and find the on-board card, and turn that off....now to find out how.

    Use the Snipping Tool (Start > type snipping in the find box) and post the image here.

    PAR : one last thing to check. When you plug your monitor in, are you plugging it in to the GTS graphics card adapter, and not the original adpater that came with your PC? I'm sure you are, but just to check.

    I'm confused.

    You can disable the GTS250, and you still get video, with the monitor connected to the 250? (You do have the monitor connected to the 250 rather than the onboard graphics port, right?)

    OK, thats odd because when you disable your GTS card you shouldn't see anything at all - can you triple check that.

    I wonder if you need to disable the PCB switch on the motherboard. Does your PC manual make reference to a PCB switch by any chance?

    When I installed my graphics card on my old Dell PC that had only onboard, I disabled the onboard graphics before I attempted to install the card. I just found this page to confirm I had that right. I didn't have to make any BIOS changes then (not that the Dell had many).

    bobkn, I do have it plugged int he right one

    golden, it is not listed in the manual. Regedit puts default resolution at 1600x1200 meaning when I disable the video card it automatically goes back to the right resolution.

    Exactly, which is why I am stumped and don't know what it is doing.
