    G550+Win2K=No install

    OK, I have a problem. Maybe some of you guys already encountered something similar...

    I want to install G550 in a HP Vectra machine... Funny thing is, it works perfectly if I install it in Windows NT4.0, but when I switch to Win2K, installation goes fine, and when it restarts everything looks fine, but I can't switch colour depth nor resolution. In processes tab in task manager there are mgabg.exe i pdesk.exe present, but there's no Powerdesk icon in the system tray.

    It could be that monitor is the culprit, because instead of Plug'n'play monitor I have "Default monitor" installed, and Update driver button is grayed out...
    Machine is based on a i815 chipset with integrated graphics...
    Intel drivers have been thoroughly de-installed before installing G550...

    Any ideas?

    you've said that you uninstalled the intel drivers...what about disabling built-in graphics in bios?

      There's no such option in motherboards BIOS... I think it automatically disables itself if a card is inserted in the AGP slot...
      Could be wrong though...
