Perhaps you already have, but, check the system BIOS and
make sure that PRIMARY DISPLAY or INITIALIZE DISPLAY FIRST
is set to AGP, not PCI. This setting *should* treat a PCI
video card simply as another PCI device, and not try to
lock your video to it.

Hope this helps,

To enter BIOS (most cases):
Boot Computer
At Memory Check/IDE Device Check screen press DELETE to
Enter Bios.

To enter BIOS (Most other cases):
Boot Computer
Look for text onscreen that says "To enter Setup, press
XXX." The XXX is *usually* F1 or F2, and the text may or
may not read *exactly* the same, but should mention
something about either "Setup" or "Bios.".

Rare cases:
Some off-the-shelf PC makers prevent the end-user from
accessing the BIOS by not displaying any information about
how to get to it during bootup. Try the keys listed above,
and if that doesn't work, refer to the owner's manual or
manufacturer's website.
