Disable ONBOARD graphics in the mainboard's BIOS. Then uninstall ALL video
drivers, and reinstall only the latest video drivers for the 9250,
downloaded from Diamond's web site or directly from ATI. Good luck, -Dave

The only place where I think I find my ONBOARD video is
when my computer boots up, click F1 to enter setup, then go to
adavance and it says video adapter and switch it from onboard video
to PCI right? Then when I install the video card, it tells me to
click run and type in this one thing and i do and my PCI card is
working. But there is a regular ATI PCI card then it says secondary
one of the same PCI Card and I do not get that. Please Help
Me!!!!!

correct unless its the control for which is the primary video display.
in that case you need to find the control, OB video adapter- enable
/disable


Then when I install the video card, it tells me to

click run and type in this one thing and I do and my PCI card is
working. But there is a regular ATI PCI card then it says secondary
one of the same PCI Card and I do not get that. Please Help

Where does this appear? In device manager?
Don't cut corners on the info click - run -something is way
short of a description.

It's possible that your ONE video card is showing up as two. I've got an
ATI Radeon PCI-Express something or other in my workstation, a low-end
model. It shows up as two video cards in device manager, a primary and a
secondary. It works fine that way. There is no problem.

My dual-core processor computer at home shows two CPUs in device manager,
also, though only ONE CPU is installed on the mainboard. This is not a
problem. You know that there is only one video card installed, so ignore
where it says there is a secondary installed. That is the same card, it is
just emulating a second card. There is nothing to fix, it is correctly
installed and recognized by windows. -Dave

primary and secondary "monitors' would be normal but 2 adapters in Display
adapters, i would not say this is normal.

I take that back...while gandering at an ATI 9600 aiw install. It does in
fact show 2 monitors AND 2 adapters,
didn't notice this on a rig sporting a 7500 AIW with an older driver.
