Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / May 2008Intel Extreme Graphics
Wow... all these threads date three years back.... Is there ANY known fix for this... I've noticed all of these threads about the subject of upgrading the craptacular Intel Extreme Graphics to the Chaintech Nvidia FX 5200 video card has no seen solution. I've been researching for a few weeks now and found nothing... absolutely nothing on getting a permanent fix for this other than reformatting but forget that, I will not do it. I also get the same error of "New Hardware Found" when done with the BIOS... and that's everyone's failed remedy. Contacting Intel is hopeless... I never got a straight answer on how to correct it. Nor did I think the support dude know how to fix it... the best suggestion I got was to reformat... and then I got a refusal when asking Intel to provide a legit copy of XP so I can, in fact, reformat.... lol - HYPOCRITES > Wow... all these threads date three years back.... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > when asking Intel to provide a legit copy of XP so I can, in fact, > reformat.... lol - HYPOCRITES Extreme Graphics are usually built onto the motherboards. Unless the motherboard is made by Intel, they will not help much. Locate the motherboard's manual and find how to turn off the on-board video card (Extreme Graphics) and then you should be able to install the Chaintech card. Actually thier is no "fix" to this,you simply need to follow some simple instruct- ions...In xp,open device mgr (extreme graphics running),expend the display adapter tree,R.click the hardware,select "uninstall" do for all w/o restarting,once thru,exit,shutdown pc,install add-in video card.Start pc,in xp,open device mgr, re-uninstall extreme graphics,exit when thru,install new card with the wizard (as it should have started),once thru,restart pc.Now both should be listed in device mgr,new card will run.Also,i believe BIOS stays with intel selected (not new card) the reason,the OS will use the on-boards video memory along with new cards memory & hardware.... > Wow... all these threads date three years back.... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > when asking Intel to provide a legit copy of XP so I can, in fact, > reformat.... lol - HYPOCRITES |
