I can't install this freakin video card

I am struggling to get a Pine PV-S03A AGP video card to
work...It is replacing a Banshee card

I am not able to get a picture at all...I don't have the
installation disk, but I did get the driver and manual
from their site...I have tried their way (my usual way),
which is to uninstall the old driver, insert the card,
restart the computer, and install the new drivers...My
monitor will not display an image after this...I have went
over the BIOS as best I can, and tried various other
methods...I don't have an onboard video capability, so I
have to keep switching cards, which I am really getting
sick of...Does anybody know what is going on here?

If you have an onboard video card, windows is probably using that card
still.
Try this, set the default card to your new card (in the bios) and then
reboot. Try to connect your monitor to the old on-board video card. Then, if
you get a picture, go to the device manager, and try to disable the old
onboard video device.
