First try starting in safe mode also disconnect from your network. Then install and run your virus scanner. Upgrading XP or a fresh install leaves you vulnerable to any number of infections. Use a friends computer to put a free firewall (try using zonelabs zonealarm, it's free and easy to...
It's been my experience that you can just plug in the new card, hook up the monitor to the new card and the computer picks up on it right away. Then boot and install the driver for the new card. BTW next time you upgrade get the tv tuner separate then you will save some bucks next time you...
