Everything is now solved! Geek told husband about www.ati.com for Radeon
driver and I downloaded it and went back to the PCI setting. Don't know why
Dell site did not have driver for Radeon card on it when I used service tag
to search for drivers.

Rick,

If you read back through the thread you will see that Susan has already
confirmed that the bios contains an option for the primary adapter to be
either onboard or PCI. I'm assuming that the mobo has no AGP slot. The
bios apparently doesn't include an option to totally disable the onboard
video chip.

the Radeon (if she gets it working) should provide reasonably good
graphics, much better than the on-board set.

There's also commonly a BIOS switch "PCI/AGP" to determind which is
the "main" graphics system (ie: the boot graphics system). It should
(if you're using only the PCI) be set to "PCI".
