I have a Sony Unit - with ASUS P450-VX motherboard. I put in a AGP video card in it and it works fine except on cold boot -in POST, The onboard video is used (only on cold boot - once the AGP card is found all warm boots work perfectly. How do I diable On board Video? Is there a schematic or bios update?
-   Thanks - in windows - as I can see the screen as the unit is using the AGP card, there is only 1 device. The on board Video port is not shown as its not being used by the monitor. My problem is only on a truely cold boot. If I shut off the unit and restart it works fine. If I let it sit over night, the true cold boot Power on self test goes to the on board card and uses it instead of the AGP card. To make matters worse the BIOS does not have a turn off on board or turn on AGP. According to Sony support they do not support AGP but the motherboard has a dedicated slot <good Grief>. -   Guest
I'm not exactly sure what you are explaining but to disable in Windows go to: My computer: Properties: Hardware: Device Mgr: Graphics Card and for the one listed that is not your AGP card click: Disable This Device. It's just that simple. Also, in some BIOS,maybe all, there is an AGP: enable/disable box. This of course should be enabled.

Umax 2200 usb scanner & Vistascan 3.55u in Windows XP Scanner installs to the default XP scanning software, but I have not been able to install the scanner so that it works with the Vistascan software. I much prefer Vistascan as it is much more user friendly & offers more flexibility. Any help would be appreciated.

My ASUS Terminator P4 came with a 256 MB DDR DIMM installed (unbuffered non-ECC PC2100/1600). I recently add a similar module (different brand of course). Since then, most of the times, on Win XP start up, a blue screen appears but only but such a short time that's impossible to read what's on it and then the system is restarted and form there on everything works pretty well. Should I adjust something in the BIOS (SDRAM Configuration or something)? Thanks Julio
