Trying to install an AGP card for a friend.
The pc is an intel 3.0, not sure on mobo, has a built in intel 64 meg vid card.
After shutting down all the way.
If i install the agp card no video comes up either card,
If I try to set the vga display to std vga don't seem to find it in XP setup
I tried going into bios setup and the agp is already set as active.
Should I try and install the card while the pc is on?
TIA
Any help is appreciated.

You get help for making me laugh.
It sounds like you've got it working fine with onboard video. And you can see something when the AGP video card is installed (like the BIOS screens), but Windows isn't quite working right. Try downloading and installing the latest video drivers for your video card. And make sure the card is installed properly, evenly, and is completely in the slot.

Could be a jumper switch on the motherboard too. Look for any identifying numbers or a FCC ID. You could also pause the boot screen and write down the alpha-numeric string at the bottom, then do a search. If it's a branded computer there should be model tags somewhere too.
It'll be much easier if you identify the motherboard.
