Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004Disabling Hardware(Windows 95a)
I recently installed a new video card(PCI)on my system replacing the onboard video that came with my computer when I purchased it. My problem is this, Windows 95 still recognizes the removed onboard video adapter as "New Hardware" and reinstalls it when I reboot my computer causing a "Device Conflict" between my new video adapter and the old onboard adapter. How do I stop Windows 95 from recognizing the old removed adapter as being "New Hardware"? Any info would be appreciated, thanks. My e- mail address is flntknpr@aol.com. you will need to disable onboard/integrated audio in your BIOS. > I recently installed a new video card(PCI)on my system > replacing the onboard video that came with my computer [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Hardware"?

We have an ancient Gateway with on-board audio and video, and I am damned if I can find how to do it - nothing in Setup, and nothing in the motherboard manual.

Aye - there's the rub.What to do with no instructions ? How do I know which jumper to reset to what ? Cheers JP heh heh ..a big magnifying glass and a stroll around the mb looking for clues :> > > really? the older ones I've seen had a jumper on the mb if the setting was > > not in the bios....although I don't think it mentioned it in the manual...

If the BIOS does not provide the capability, then disable it in the Hardware Profile, as follows. Hold down a Windows key and press the Pause/Break key. Click the Device Manager tab. Click the + sign next to Display Adapters. Double-click the adapter that you wish to disable. Remove the check mark from the box titled "Exists in all hardware profiles". Click OK twice, then reboot. > > And pray that your Bios allows you to do this.

Should have said "check the box marked 'Disable in this hardware profile'". > > > And pray that your Bios allows you to do this.

Cheers Hugh - will try this. anyway JP > > If the BIOS does not provide the capability, > > then disable it in the Hardware Profile, as follows. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > "check the box marked > 'Disable in this hardware profile'". My 95a only has a check box marked "Original Configuration (Current)". That's where I UNchecked to make 95a acknowledge (but ignore) the onboard USB that it detected, but can't use, a "PCI card" (onboard LAN that doesn't work), and the printer port LPT1 that I managed to fry a couple of years ago. Oh, and the onboard video with a screwed-up 640x480x256, which was already auto-disabled by the BIOS when I plugged in a normal video card. > > > If the BIOS does not provide the capability, > > > then disable it in the Hardware Profile, as follows.

Will see what happens then ! Thanks to all JP > > > If the BIOS does not provide the capability, > > > then disable it in the Hardware Profile, as follows. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > My 95a only has a check box marked "Original Configuration (Current)". I would use Device Manager, not Hardware Profiles. Hardware Profiles has its uses, such as setting up 2 profiles for a laptop, docked and undocked, or setting up 2 profiles for 2 different users. However, in the case being discussed, we need to disable the onboard video adapter. The way I would do that is through the Properties button of the actual video adapter in the Display adapters tree on the Device Manager panel within the System Properties applet. > That's where I UNchecked to make 95a acknowledge (but ignore) the onboard > USB that it detected, but can't use, a "PCI card" (onboard LAN that doesn't work), > and the printer port LPT1 that I managed to fry a couple of years ago.

I *think* we have been here before; when I have done this, Plug 'N Play (I assume) detects the on-board audio (I had installed a separate sound card - but same principle of course) at the next reboot, and promptly re-enables it - and then an immediate conflict between the on-board audio and the sound card. As I was never able to find out how to disable the on-board audio permanently, I had to remove the sound card and give up. Cheers JP > > And pray that your Bios allows you to do this.

But does this require that plug 'n play is disabled ? I (think! - it's a while since I tried to do this) tried this, and the on-board devices were re-detected and re-enabled at the next boot, thus defeating the point of the exercise Cheers JP How do I disable onboard/integrated video in my BIOS? What's the procedure? Thanks. generally it is holding down the DEL key when booting up....should get you to a screen where you can set drives , memory settings etc. can't go into much detail without knowing your BIOS type... > How do I disable onboard/integrated video in my BIOS?
