AGP card not recongnized by the system

[aksingh]

I have a Shuttle AI61 with AMD 700 MHz CPU with NVIDIA TNT2 32MB AGP video card.

when I startup my system from cold , it does not load the proper AGP drivers and display only standard VGA drivers.

In BIOS I have selected AGP.

Now if I reboot without shuttding down I get correct display using TNT2 drivers.

I am renning Windows ME. In past i used to have similar problem and was solved by some means I do not recall, recently i had to re install ME and its happening again.

can some one help me fix this isuue.. its very frustating as every time i shutdown i have to restart my system again to get correct display.

Thanks

Boot into safe mode by holding the CTRL key down during startup. Go to your device manager and make sure there is only one instance of your "display adapter" and only one "monitor". Remove all extras and reboot.

If that doesn't work, go back into safe mode and remove the last entries for the monitor and adapter. Reboot into normal mode and reinstall the video card's drivers when prompted.

Hope that works. Let me know... ~cdogg

If cdogg's suggestion doesn't work,
then try stealth.
You said "In BIOS I have selected AGP."
I assume Amibios;
in the PCI / PLUG AND PLAY SETUP page, try setting the Primary Graphics Adapter to: PCI
and Allocate IRQ for PCI VGA to: Yes

The default settings for PCI still lets onboard display work with a secondary card installed in a PCI slot. If you have the most recent NVIDIA drivers installed for your graphics card, then this workaround will still use the AGP bus.[color]

Thanks you all ...

looks like my audio card was the real culprit...

this is how it worked....

i removed all cards except AGP card and tried to boot and it worked fine.. next i tried to put audio card boom it would not recognize the AGP card.. but found a VGA card and asked for driver.. where i supplied NVIDIA drivers...

and now both are residing perfectly ok..
