Can not install windows vista , but ok with windows XP

well no OS told
so there is no answer ever lacking such a key fact.
if the PC runs old OS new sound cards do not work now.
like XP sound cards are useless on new PC
and new sound cards are useless on XP.
see? there is no support for XP or vista now
and w7 is nearing same.
yes you can buy XP sound cards on ebay if they promise it works on XP that is, there are old stock still sold.
the 4020 not sold in USA only 4022
so I will read this manual
OMG BTX PC here, the horror of backwards MOBO
and cards that do not fit this case + mobo and hit the fan shrouds
seem top come with VISTA OS , GW shows.
but our manual shows no BTX horror,>? how odd is that.?
this PC needs no audio card at all to do sound.
it has the 6 sounds jacks on the rear.
sound cards added only add new feature or better sound.
ok the 4020R is reversed BTX, they had ATX and BTX(R) then.

One PCI Express ×16 (graphics interface)

One PCI Express ×1

Two PCI conventional

there are your slots

only you know what slots are free to use, looking or what slot was used on old card, really not needed anycard

so the answer is this, use X1 slot sound for VISTA.

or buy USB sound dongle device, for VISTA

if not VISTA say what it is..

BTW BELOW IS THE BTX VERSION THAT CAN BE A HORROR.

LET ME EXPLAIN HORROR NEXT

LETS SAY X16 SLOT HAS VIDEO GPUCARD.

AND NOT A NEW SOUND CARD IS PUT AT X1 SLOT

AND HITS THE GPU CARD X16 , SEEN THIS VAST TIMES.

no PC stated,
NO OS stated, XP?"
so you posted only a mobo name .
HP does not reverse index PC by boards,sorry !
why not post what PC this is.??????
did you find the mobo in a garage sale that it?
AGP card, added,

but your steps were all wrong, if you had read the MS steps
or the manual for that card first you'd have done right.
what is right. it's simple
have internet working at all times. (XP is hopeless now VISTA)
in you unstated OS,
go to device manager.
pick video card, and right click it and delete the driver from the old video chip, (be that the old APG card or the old onboard chip)
unstated by you which it was.
then turn off PC, start ,button off. "windows shut down"
now pull line cord to pc
next , push power to discharge all stored energy in the PC
or risk damage,
now PC is off. and discharged;
insert the new card
power on
XP or Vista will fail, unless you have the CD matching that card.
the PC then loads the driver,

if no real driver is present, from nvida, your OS runs a dumbb one.
vastly limited driver.. but screen does work and PC not die or crash
then go to nivia, dot com and get your driver, if your CD is missing.


what does freeze mean? ive no idea, (10 in my mine)
mouse dead. start button dead.?
or PC crashes, or PC BSOD'S, WITH BLUE SCREEN ERRORS
RUNNING ANY WRONG VIDEO DRIVER, DOES THAT.


ONE CAN PRELOAD THE GFORCE DRIVER FIRST
CLICK GFORCE
PICK GFORCE 5 FX SERIES
the pick your unstated OS.

windows ME through W7 is supported, see it?

load that first
then reboot , put in new card, and it might PNP ok

1. recap: no os or PC staTED
2. CD missing with card?
3. XP or VISTA is dead,MS shut down Plug and pray.
4. get the driver form Nvida:? why not? its costs you zero $
5. internet connected is a must. are you?>Ethernet best.

If I am right your Mobo's sound card is a Realtek ALC883 Audio Codec

follow the link below to download driver for Win XP

This link is for Windows Vista

hope this helps.

that board is desinged to run xp i recomend bying a new mobo that is more compatible with windows 7 or vista
i say this because of the 2 gig ram limit vista services will chew thru 3/4 of that with a standard fresh install
im not familar with the requirments of windows 7 i imagin thy are similar to vista witch in my opion is the garbage os that ME was when it came out

thus meaning meaning windows 7 would be the counterpart to xp vrs ME

if your wanting to get away from xp try ubuntu out.
drivers uhm yah ubuntu searched my system and in 1 click i had the drivers for me dell dimension 8300 and i mean all of them for the buss and io sub system ,nic card ,sound card ,video card (was seperate confirmation) i still have caution flags running xp sp3 no drivers avalible from manufacturer shrugs >its working
http://www.ubuntu.com/

You need to download the latest drivers for this card:

Windows Vista/XP
ati56win2kxp.exe document.getElementById("downloadlatestimglink").innerHTML=" Windows Vista
"; 6.14.10.6542 Windows Vista/XP
ati56win2kxp.exe document.getElementById("downloadlatestimglink").innerHTML=" Windows Vista
"; 6.14.10.6542

You can get this driver from http://www.radarsync.com/driver/d261215-radeon_7000_series

Install this set of drivers and reboot.

This should fix your problem.

Download the Windows Vista driver for your card from the manufacturers website. This should fix the problem. Hope this helps.

Check that the driver is compatible with your operating system
Vista or XP.
My card has 2 type of drivers
1 for XP and the other for Vista
You may be trying to install the wrong one

it sounds as if your MoBo is seeing the video adapter as a source of ram. if that is the case, then installing memory in units of 1Gb will cause a stick to not be seen, therefore utilized. you may want to refer to you manual for memory limits and poosible comparibility issues. they are usually quite in depth. also, make sure that they are all the same make model and speed. these issues have wreaked havoc on the prettiest of pc's.

Were the correct drivers installed into XP.
It seems to me no video drivers are in XP and you are running on the windows ones

Hi,

You can find all the drivers you need from HP's Download page for the DX6120 Micro Tower. I would guess the drivers you need are the chipset drivers, which can be found on the following pages (There are links to all the available drivers for that model #)

Windows XP Home

Windows XP Pro

Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit

Windows Vista Business 32bit

Please note that Vista pages do not have chipset drivers, as Vista should be able to install them on it's own.
