Can I install a 1 GB video card and still be able to run Windows Vista?
Video RAM is separate, but some cards also use the system to 'boost' memory capacity. You cal telll them because they will say memory share as apposed to discreet.

I have a 500 GB sata HDD and it is partitioned into 4 volume (C: E: - 97 GB, d - 122 GB, GB-122, F: - 123 Go). my windows xp is installed in the C drive
and I recently install windows vista on the E drive.is - it safe format the c drive where windows xp is installed?
If I format it will damage my system?
original title: Dual Boot FormatHello
It is not safe to remove Windows XP from drive C. If an earlier version of the Windows operating system is installed in a dual-boot with Windows Vista or Windows 7 configuration, the Windows Boot Manager program transfers control to the Ntldr program for the earlier version of the Windows operating system.
If you remove Windows XP, you may not be able to start Windows Vista as well.
Refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919529
The ideal way is to reinstall Windows Vista.
Note: Be sure to back up data before formatting the hard disk.

I have an old Dell Dimension 2100 with Windows XP and Intel 82810 Graphics card. Can I just update to a new graphics card or the speed or the RAM of the old machine will prevent play? Speed: 1.1 GHz RAM: 284 MB
Hi Baffledtempe,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
Just update the graphics card will not let you accomplish what you're trying. You will need to update the RAM as well. Games that exist on the market these days use less than 1 GB of RAM. If you spend just the graphics card, the game performance will not be good, it will be very slow and the resolution must be very low to make it compatible.
Hope this information is useful.

Install a non-hdmi video card and it always disabled audio...
Hello
The title pretty much everything said, but the story is that after the discussion on this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/ATI-HD-5770-in-a-DC5800-Workstation/m-p/366471
... I have installed the Sapphire 5570 of non-hdmi card that seemed to be the best map of low power no hdmi.
The card works fine, in fact (with another 2 GB of RAM), it took my WEI of 3.1 to 5.9 on Win 7 (0, 1 - 7.9).
The problem is that it seems to be invalid audio. The audio device only applies for the registration is a device audio hdmi that is to say works well, but nothing out of the headphone jack.
The system is a comprehensive form of dc5800.
Someone has ideas on how do I troubleshoot/get around that?
If this isn't the case, I would be able to put a cheap card audio in my slot remaining a (who is part of the background?) and if so, what is this location? It is not clear the product PDF.
Thank you very much...Hello

Windows blocked key after installing a new video card and hard drive.
I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition since the early release, purchased through Newegg. Since then, I used it on my desktop, which I update regularly. I changed the hard drives, processors and cards video several times and reactivated without a problem, but this last Friday, I installed a new video card and the DSS, and when I went to activate windows told me that my key was blocked without any explanation. I can only assume that this is because I changed my hardware configuration. My copy of windows remained only on this computer over the years. Here are the results of MGADiag running on my system.
If there is any question about the legitimacy of my copy, I have the DVD, booklet, cases, cardboard sleeve he shipped initially and purchase of invoices from Newegg on the spot.

Hello
I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.
Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?
System Specs:
System manufacturer/model number Dell/Studio 540
Operating system windows 7 home premium 32 bit
6 GB of memory
Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4350
Monitor (s) displays Reference Dell ST2410Thanks in advance,

Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=35
Download and install the latest version of DirectX:
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5264
Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:
-Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
-Disable visual themes
-Disable the Composition of the Bureau
-Run this program as an administratorOne of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.
Good luck!

Im trying to install drivers for a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 on my windows vista 64 bit computer. Every time I have try and start the download, it is said that my driver is not a 64-bit driver, which is false, and that my system is 64 bit, which is true. SO... after I click 'OK', it begins to download only to have another pop-up saying "Setup has detected that the system in use is not windows vista 64 bit" which it is. Basically its contradiction with himself. im confused.
Im running windows vista 64-bit.
I just upgraded to a Nvidia 9800GT, to a Nvidia GTX 260.
In frustration, I deleted all the old drivers, but the new will not download.
The first error says that the drivers are not 64-bit.
The second error indicates the operating system is not 64-bit.
Let the site nVidia Driver detect your video card. If it still does not work, contact nVidia for a solution... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

ATI Radeon 9250 256 MB pci video card and I can't have my pc to recognize.
I have an ATI Radeon 9250 256 MB pci graphics card and I can't have my pc to recognize. Does anyone know if it is compatiable with my motherboard Intel D865GLC AAC27501-403?
I looked in the bios to disable the existing onboard video but I can't seem to locate it.
I am running windows vista. Is it not compatiable with Vista?
It seems that the latest drivers available for this card are for Windows XP. I suspect that it won't work in Vista as a standard VGA card.
