    Dude I got a Dell and now I'm in video hell

    Hi guys.

    I purchased a used Dell optiplex GX110 system. P3 (SLOT 1) 600 Mhz, ATI on board video.

    The problem is the onboard video doesn't work well (big surprise), and I attempted to install a pine sis 6326 8 MB video card.

    I followed Dell's instructions to install the card and get it to work (as I can't disable the onboard video in the bios). The problem

    The problem is that when windows was using the new card, the mouse seemed to be in two places at once (move it over start and it aslo appears to be in the middle of the screen). Also and ugly puke colour green has appeared in the ok box, on shortcuts, various places that should be white like the background of explorer, etc....

    I have put the machine back on the onboard video and no probs.....

    I have tried total reinstall of system, updating drivers for video and mouse, and contemplating hanging myself for getting a dell.

    Anyone have any ideas? I haven't done a bios update yet as I was unable to locate it on Dell's site (probably overlooked)

    The system is currently running windows 98se with all updates.

    Thanks and have a nice day.
