RC2 Keeps Loading Internal Graphics Drivers
Hi all,
I seem to be in an endless loop with RC2 and my internal graphics card. Unfortunately, my eMachines doesn't have an true "Disable Internal Graphics" command in the BIOS. I'm currently using a dedicated graphics card for Vista. However, Vista keeps finding the internal graphics and keeps loading the drivers which turn aero off and reverts me to Vista basic (ughh). Rebooting usually resets aero, but Vista quickly finds and loads the Internal Graphics drivers again. Is there a command to stop RC2 from scanning for new hardware? Is there a command to just select rejection of the graphics card? When I go to the Device Manager, the Internal Graphics doesn't even show up so that I can disable it! Please help :'( |

Mike:
I don't have this problem so I have no way of testing this. After the onboard internal graphics drivers are installed, go into device manager and disable the internal graphics, leaving the dedicated graphics enabled. "Mike" wrote in message ...

See there lies the problem. the drivers do not show up in the device manager.
I can not even uninstall the driver because it looks like it is installed but when I try to uninstall it, it will not. Have you got any ideas how to fix this?

Try turning off support for the onboard graphics in the bios of the machine
which should allow you to do something with the graphics card drivers. -- Quiet Beta Tester "Mike" wrote: See there lies the problem. the drivers do not show up in the device manager.

If Vista is installing drivers for the integrated video there should be 2 items under display adaptors, one for the integrated adaptor and one for the add-on video card. "Mike" wrote in message ...

I only have my Nvidia card listed in the device manager. And I have already
turned off the on board graphics and I am only supposed to be using the Nvidia card.

If your montor is connectd to the VGA connector on your NVIDIA card and not
to the VGA connector on your MOBO how are you able to able to get it to display? "Mike" wrote in message ... I only have my Nvidia card listed in the device manager.

It's weird but it works! The internal graphics only shows the Intel BIOS
information, but it never shows anything else. However, the nVidia card is the active card. Just as Mike is having, the internal graphics shows up for a brief moment then it disappears. Also, I can easily repeat this process by going to the Hardware Manager and clicking the "search for new hardware" icon. It repeatedly reloads the Intel graphics drivers and requests for a reboot afterward. Even if I move quickly to disable the drivers, the drivers keep coming back! Isn't there some INF file that I can target or some other setting?
