Subject: Another onboard video card

Hi. I have read the many previous questions about disabling onboard video cards, and I have tried a few of the methods, but I think my computer is just a bit different than the ones mentioned in those questions. I have an NEC GT100 and my motherboard is an MB480. My onboard video card is a SiS530. I purchased a GeForce MX400 video card and I have no clue how to install it. Well, let me be more specific. I did install it and I installed the drivers for it as well. When I plug the monitor into the new card, the screen is blank until I get a message that tells me that Windows has accepted the card and I need to go to device manager and adjust the settings. Only thing is, I can't get out of that screen so I have to plug the monitor into the original card and when I do get to the device manager, I can't find anything that I can change. For the SiS530, there is no "disable this device" box. I hope this is enough info for someone to help me out. I tried NEC for help and they only stalled me for a week before referring me to a company that wants me to pay $70 for an answer. That's quality customer service, right?"
