    No video with new graphics card

    Also, check the apeture size for the new graphics card. 9800 pro card had min of 128, so, when you disconnect from vga cable from card and reconnect to mobo vga connection, you may need to reset the apeture to it's lowest setting until you get a new card.

    I have a 9800 pro also having trouble getting drivers installed on xp pro 32. I thought I could disable windows 9800 drivers, but that does not seem to work after installing ati drivers but that does not work.

    BIOS not Recognizing Hard Drive as Main IDE Master

    update: hd is jumpered as cable select enabled. Maxtor quickview pata 133 drive. jumper schematic on the device has a dedicated slave setting (hd as master). jumper schematic online indicates a CLJ setting. what is a CLJ setting?
