Hi. I recently got a GeForce MX 4000 pci card and windows cant see the card. I have tried for the last three days and no luck.

I have a j530bf rev 2.0 motherboard and it has onboard vga. I cannot disable it ( don't know how ). There are no jumpers to change. I can't disable the onboard vga in the bios. Sense tells me that even by disabling the onboard vga won't do me any good if the motherboard doesn't recognize the geforce card.

Even more mind boggeling - my motherboard manufacturer is JETWAY and the geforce card also JETWAY.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

You should install chipset drivers in Windows. Windows cannot see AGP VGA if you don´t install chipset drivers with VIA chipset. Another suggestion: Update BIOS to latest version.

SiS chipset, not VIA.

Latest BIOS:
V.530BF/530BN E12 04-12-2001
04/12/2001-SiS530-6801-2A5IMJ1BC-00

There's an option in BIOS called VGA SHARED MEMORY SIZE and can be set to "None". Have you tried?
