It sounds like this is an integrated graphics card, therefore you should
change the amount of memory allocated to the card in the BIOS.

With integrated video thier is a trick to it when a video adapter is added to
the pc...First install the on-board video using intels chipset installation
utility
& the graphic drivers,etc.Once up & running,open device mgr,expand the
display
tree,R.click,select uninstall,do not restart pc,once thru,close
out,shutdown pc.
Power off,install video card,start pc,adjust BIOS for card,leave on board
active,
boot to xp.In xp,install card drivers/software,once thru w/o restarting,open
device mgr,re-uninstall board graphics,close,restart pc...Now both are
working
for you...
