rfwdwork Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi, I hope someone can help me. I am running windows xp pro, 1gigcpu, video built into mother board, but later installed a gforce 4700 nvidea graphic card. Went into device manager, next to VIA graphic controller is a yellow circle with a ! in the middle. I double clicked on the driver and down toward the bottom of the window I saw this error,This Device cannot start (code10). the driver is VIA TECH VT8361/8601 Graphics Controller.

submix8c Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Make and model of computer? SP-level of your XP-Pro (RTM, SP1, SP2, SP3)?Sometimes (depending on above) you can't use an add-in video card when the PC already has a built-in (i.e. Integrated) video.You also have to (in the BIOS) allow for PnP OS. Also, looks like the Integrated is the VIA TECH VT8361/8601 Graphics Controller. Do you currently have the monitor plugged into your Gforce? If so, then you should be good for the go - check your BIOS for Video/VGA settings; you may need to disable the Integrated (there will be a conflict in XP due to 2 adapters being in the device list). Does the Gforce show in the Device List and is it functional (insurance to verify it's indeed ok)?BTW, there's a method to allow for multiple graphics cards in XP. Haven't done it yet, but it's for the purpose of having 2 monitors hooked up (extending your Desktop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwdwork Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) I believe the motherboard is amd, xp pro with sp3. the mother board has graphics built in. I am not sure where in the bios I would find find the things you mentioned. Yes the monitor is plugged into the gforce card. I am not sure where to find the switch in the bios .

nitroshift Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Since you are using an add-on video-card, it is normal for the built-in graphics card to be disabled. That's why the device manager complains about it not starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwdwork Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi Nitroshift. thanks for the reply. So it is my understanding that it is normal and there is nothing wrongand it wonder harm the computer or anything else, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
