I had just recently bought a video for my computer. Every time i put the card in the pci slot and try turning on the computer the monitor will not upload any images even though it is on. My computer has the right specifications to fit the card and i do not know what to do or even were to start. If anybody had any good ideas please e-mail me or post a message on the board. Thanks a-lot

The Video card is an xtasy 5332 with 32megs of memory, 175 mhz processor and 256 gpu. My os is windows 98 second edition. I have 64 megs of ram 533 mhz processor and 20 giggs left on my hard drive.

We still need more specs.

Does your motherboard have built-in video?
If so, you may need to disable the onboard video before it will recognize your new card.
