Apple Monitor want work on Gateway/Windows Vista O/S

T

Tom

I tried to install an Apple Cinema monitor on a Gateway computer runing
Windows Vista O/S. When I power up the computer the screend stopped during
the boot up and said the AHCI Bios were not installed. I changed the video
card from a NVIDIA 8500GT to an IMAC video card and still had the same issue
(AHCI Bios not installed). The Apple Techs said the monitor has no problem
running Windows Vista. I tried the Apple monitor on a cheap emachine running
Windows XP and had no problem. Gateway said it is a third party issue and
they will not provide support, buy another monitor. Any ideas what I could
do about the error message to make my computer compatible with the Apple
Cinema monitor? My system is a Gateway, Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600,.
