I recently installed a Radeon 9200 SE video card which I used to replace a NVidia MX 4400 video card. By making this change went from a 4X AGP to a 8AGP. My motherboard supports it. Now during the boot cycle the menu jumps or has hiccups during that process. Otherwise everything else works fine. What can I do to smoothe out this process or prevent the menu from jumping during this process?

jumping boot log menu as windows 98 SE loads

I apologized for not getting back sooner but I didnt get a notice that someone responded. My motherboard accepts 2X/4X/ and 8X AGP. I didn't know that you could adjust them back if needed. The best way to describe what it does is to say that the menu screens bounce as their being loaded from a cold start. The bouncing activity only takes place in the bios screens during this process and its very noticeable. It doesn't happen after windows has completely loaded. Every other part of my system works very well. Any suggestions?

No need for an apology. Some do not respond for weeks, and some not at all.
Look in BIOS to see what the AGP setting is configured at.
If it's 8X, then try 4X or 2X. Or vice-versa.
If that does not fix things, then make sure you uninstalled the old video card's software in 'Add/Remove Programs', and removed the card from Device Manager.
