Did you download the Nvidia drivers? If so, the install will recognize the the new card and install the drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.31.html Above is the link to the nvidia drivers. ~RIch I'll take that old faulty card off your hands if you are looking to get rid of it. Edit: Just realized you dont live in the US. If the shipping isnt too much, I may still be interested in the card. Send me a PM and let me know.
