Graphics Card Problem

[Guest]

Any help would be very much appreciated with the following

My son has a 1.53g AMD Athlon pc running Win XP Home
The Bios program from the AMI web site shows the motherboard/chipset as follows
ID String = 62-0415-001131-00101111-071595-SiS730
Motherboard Manufacturer Code = 1131 ELITGROU
Chipset SiS730 Rev
Bios Date 04/15/0

When purchased I believe this PC had on-board graphics but a Hercules 3D Prophet (Kyros series) PCI graphics card was installed some time back and appears to function correctly
He has now purchased a GeForce FX5200 AGP card made by Sparkle that he would like to install and this is where the problem is....

The drivers for the Hercules card were removed using device manager, the pc shut down and the card removed from the PCI slot. The new AGP card was installed in the vacant AGP slot and the pc re-booted. On start up no new hardware was found as I assumed would be the case? Any attempt to load the drivers from the accompanying cd results in the msg - An unsupported operation was attempted. Clicking OK results in an error msg - MFC Application has encountered an error and needs to close etc. et
I have gone into the Bios/Set-up (Version 1.21.86) at the start-up screen and on the menu if I select PCI/Plug & Play Setup I can/have tried changing the Primary Graphics Adapter from PCI to Onboard AGP. I'm not sure if this is the correct thing to do but either way it makes no difference to the new AGP card

Any ideas on how/if I can get this new AGP card working would be a real bonus!

Regards DaveL

Its not a Onboard AGP card if you have it installed in the AGP slot. Also be
sure there is no card installed in the PCI slot next to the AGP slot.

Please download and installed the latest AGP filter driver for your
motherboard which can be found here: http://driver2.sis.com/agp/agp117.zip

I would suggest downloading the latest Nvidia driver once the AGP driver is
installed here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_53.03

If this does not fix you problem please send setupapi.log located at
c:\windows\setupapi.log to (e-mail address removed) and I will see if I can
determine your problem. This file can be pretty big to send in an e-mail so
please compress the file before hand by right clicking on it -> send to ->
compressed file and attaching the setupapi.zip that is created. Good luck.
