Help - XP won't detect my 7300GT

[Schmacintosh]

I have an socket 775 MSI mobo with a 915P/915G chipset (and IHC6)

I've been using the onboard 915 graphics, but now want to upgrade to a 7300GT (pcie) so that I can install Leopard

 

I'm running XP SP1 at the moment

 

Thing is the motherboard won't detect the 7300 card. I can plug my monitor into it and get a picture, but my system (device manger) shows that there is no graphics adapter present. I attempted to install the supplied nvidia drivers which also say the hardware is not present

 

Device manager also shows a problem now with 915G PCI Express Root Port, it says there are not enough resources for it

 

Things I've done-

 

1) Uninstalled the 915 graphics in device manager

2) Disabled onboard graphics in BIOS

 

What else can I do?

 

Cheers

I can't install any nvidia drivers because they don't think there's any nvidia card present in the system! The installation just stops at that point

 

Device manager doesn't show a graphics adapter at all

 

The monitor is actually plugged into the 7300GT and I have a picture through it,but the system doesn't detect that there is any new hardware there

Do you have one of those motherboards where you have to disable the 915 in the BIOS? It couldn't hurt to see if there is something in the BIOS that could help you.

I tried it 915 disabled and with it enabled - makes no difference

 

The board is 915P Neo2 Platinum btw

That is very strange! Make sure your bios on that mobo are up to date!
