Does the front panel LED error display flash a video warning when you install the PCI graphics card (1 long flash followed by 6 short flashes)?

1. Right click on the Desktop and select Properties.
2. Click on the Settings tab, then the Advance button.
3. Click on the Adapter tab, then the Change button.
4. On the first Wizard screen, hit the Next button.
5. On the next screen, select "Display a list of all the drivers......", then hit Next.
6. On the next screen, select "Show all Hardware", then highlight "Standard Display Types" at the top, then in the right window, select "Standard Display Adapter VGA, Microsoft, 5-11-98", then hit Next.
7. You may be asked to insert the 98 upgrade CD to load the driver.
8. If Windows asks if you want to restart, say NO.
9. Shut down the computer and install the new video card.
When you reboot, Windows should detect the new card and you can install the drivers for it.


If no luck, then:
Right click on the Desktop, select Properties/Settings/Advanced/Adapter.
Choose Properties/Disable, and re-start the computer if it prompts you to do so.
After it reboots, shut it down, and install the new video card.
Move your monitor over to the new graphics card, restart, and install the card's drivers.
