Calling All Computer Nerds

Why not? Who says he won't need your help one day? Like when he realizes he can no longer root for a losing team and...oh...right. You can't help him there. You root for the Giants, for Eli farging Manning, Plaxico Burress, Jeremy Shockey, and Tom the wannabe nazi Coughlin. hahaha

Anyway...friends are better than money. Call the guy/girl if you need it fixed quick.

Double check your BIOS to make sure there isn't some way to disable the onboard video.

Right-click on my computer, and click manage. Then click on Device Manager, and then Display Adapters. How many entries are there, and what are they?

is there a way to download a song from ITunes and convert it so it can be played in Windows Media Player?

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 19, 2007, 02:19:37 PM

Absolutely.

SunMo · February 19, 2007, 02:21:56 PM

sweet.

Burn it to CD from iTunes and then rip it. Sometimes there are tools that get around FairPlay, but Apple has to (and does) realease a fix within a week or two of being cracked or they will lose their license to sell the music.

They show the old vid card, and the new one is listed twice. One of the two entries has "secondary" next to it.

I got 75 songs worth of gift certs for christmas and haven't used them because I can't be bothered with this pain in the ass. I'm re-gifting them. Also..having songs as a gift cert doesn't really work out because you can't get "album" track only songs..only songs that are specifically avail. a la carte.

farg iTunes

Most new video cards have a primary and secondary output.

It sounds like you need to find a way to disable the on-board video. If the new card is showing up in device manager and there aren't any errors (no ! or X over the icon) then it is installed OK. It sounds like the on-board video is preventing the new card from working.

Nope. No conflicts showing anywhere, so, I dunno... I can't seem to get it. I posted this on 2 other boards as well and have tried all suggestions. I officially give up and will let my friend do it. It's his problem now.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. It was greatly appreciated!!
