so about 8 months ago, i decided that it was time to upgrade my emachines (W2247) desktop. i installed a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 video card. yes i know its not something to brag about, but i feel as if im having some trouble with it. i dont think that my computer has been running off of this video card, ever. the thing is that when i run the smallest of games.. when i meet all of the system requirments, i still get a very bad gameplay. all of my drivers for my system are up to date, but i think the problem is that my onboard video is causing all of the problems. when i go to computer management i notice that my old video card is still running and when i go to uninstall, it uninstalls and it asks for a restart. when i restart, windows finds the video card and installs it back in. the screen clicks around for awhile as if its going back to the old card and then i get to see the screen again. i think what i need to do is to uninstall the video card in my BIOS but i dont really know how. if anyone has any idea whats going on, i would appreciate it.
