[owais javaid]

MY GRAPHICS DRIVER REPORT GOES AS UNDER.........................

Driver Version: 6.14.10.4764

Default Language: English
DirectX* Version: 9.0
Physical Memory: 247 MB

Processor: x86
Processor Speed: 3065 MHZ

Accelerator in Use: Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family

NOW IF MY GRAPHICS MEMORY IS 128 MB, WHY IS ONLY 9 MB IN USE??
HOW CAN I INCREASE IT TO MAXIMUM?????

It sounds like this is an integrated graphics card, therefore you should
change the amount of memory allocated to the card in the BIOS.

With integrated video thier is a trick to it when a video adapter is added to
the pc...First install the on-board video using intels chipset installation
utility
& the graphic drivers,etc.Once up & running,open device mgr,expand the
display
tree,R.click,select uninstall,do not restart pc,once thru,close
out,shutdown pc.
Power off,install video card,start pc,adjust BIOS for card,leave on board
active,
boot to xp.In xp,install card drivers/software,once thru w/o restarting,open
device mgr,re-uninstall board graphics,close,restart pc...Now both are
working
for you...
