What exactly is an annoyance? Can you explain how this effects the use of
your PC? For example this particular PC has a TV connected to the s-video
port on my ATI graphics card. The only indication of this is, assuming
that I am not using the TV to play a video, is an entry in the Device
Manager and others in Display Properties neither of which are areas I
spend any time. I have to assume I'm missing something here as I just
don't understand what the problem is. However Rock's comment is a good
one as it is possible that your problem is due to having a motherboard
with on-board graphics adapter as well as an AGP/PCI graphics card and
that you haven't disabled the on-board video in the motherboard's bios.

Following is definitely graphics related but no way (yet)
to determine if related to 2nd device innstalled.
A couple of weeks ago I discovered a major problem with
Diablo2, the right side of display would blink as well
as the bottom (an obverse L). I had installed the latest
drivers from the reseller however' there are later drives
available from Nvidia so I installed them and it fixed the
blinking problem but I still cannot play online because of
some latency/lag problem (ping=4K+ at times in game)
which has nothing to do with my ISP, comm soft/hardware etc
BECAUSE I just installed D2 on an inferior Dell machine,
used the same modem, ISP, everything but mobo and graphics
and my game connection is normal.

Until or unless you confirm that you have DISABLED the on-board graphics in
the BIOS, the rest of your posting is irrelevant. It's no use just
'uninstalling' it in Device Manager - it MUST be disabled in the BIOS!!!

Otherwise you are wasting both you own time and our time.

If you are not sure how to do this, then either RTFM (Read The Flipping
Manual - polite version!) or take your PC to a local repair shop and get
them to check it for you.

Disable is NOT an option, choices in CMOS for graphics adapter are PCI
or AGP. There is no AGP slot and selecting AGP requires a CMOS reset
to restart the machine. I have since installed a 3DFX Voodoo3/2000 PCI
adapter which has resolved the Diablo2 latency problem and removes the
Nvidia S-video plug and I continue to get the new hardware found (PCI
vga-compatible adapter) on restart. Mulling over your suggestion of
must be disabled (I agree), I removed the Intel 82810 system &
graphics controller fron the systems devices list, restart, found new
hardare, cancel, and the 82xxx is back in dev mgr. disabled it,
restarted, found new hardware. If I let windows search for a driver it
finds none then lists it as unknown device in dev mgr with a yellow
question mark.

The "choice" that you're referring to in CMOS is which adapter to
consider the "main" one. There should be another setting somewhere where
you can disable the on-board if you want to.

I'm not too familiar with 82810, but if you can't find the on-board
disable then check "disable in this hardware config" for it in Device
Manager... just make sure that you've chosen PCI as the main graphics
device in the BIOS.

Or you could go the other route and just plug a second monitor in on the
AGP. (Or use one monitor on the AGP and the Voodoo on the TV for gaming)

Assuming that - as you alluded in a previous reply - you really do have
on-board video, then as Rick has stated in his post "There should be another
setting somewhere where you can disable the on-board if you want to."

What does your User Manual say on this subject?

If you are not sure what hardware is connected to your PC, then try running
Belkin Advisor (freeware) from :-
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

It will give an audit of your PC which includes a section on your Display
hardware.

Just a thought, in your original post you said "After installing a (MadDog)
Nvidia GeForce MX4000 PCI graphics card" Just what were you using before
you installed your new graphics card - and did you remove and/or disable the
old one?

Before installing the GeForce card I was running the onboard Intel
i810 graphics (cmos set to PCI). Bought Pavilion new, HP do/did not
come with (detailed tech) manual, ie: cmos settings/functions etc.
Used the HP website instructions to install a video card which were
A) Reinstall i810 drivers to be sure all are present and working.
B) Change display adapter to standard VGA.
C) Uninstall i810 package using add/remove programs.
D) Restart, new hardware detected etc.
Like I said, my best guess at anything else graphics related was the
intel 82810 system & graphics controller under system devices in dev
mgr which is (now) still disabled in this cfg.

I did a trawl thru' the HP site for your Pavilion 6735 and came up with this
page :-
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/f...name=c00007413

See especially Step 5:, item 2 which details how to disable the on-board
video in your BIOS. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

HTH and good luck

I requested assistance and I appreciate the offers however;
even with an educated grasp of the English language I am having
great difficulty associating your recommendations with the
reality I am seeing and dealing with here.
I told what is in this cmos and what the choices are, one toggle
PCI or AGP
no enable/disable, no on/off
I hope you are not referring to the video shadow rom as a means of
enabling/disabling onboard graphics. I have RTFM, what little there is
to it and as of Dec 2002 the instruction for installing/removing a
video card for my machine was/is located at this address

I did a trawl thru' the HP site for your Pavilion 6735 and came up with this
page :-
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/f...name=c00007413

See especially Step 5:, item 2 which details how to disable the on-board
video in your BIOS. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

HTH and good luck

Before installing the GeForce card I was running the onboard Intel
i810 graphics (cmos set to PCI). Bought Pavilion new, HP do/did not
come with (detailed tech) manual, ie: cmos settings/functions etc.
Used the HP website instructions to install a video card which were
A) Reinstall i810 drivers to be sure all are present and working.
B) Change display adapter to standard VGA.
C) Uninstall i810 package using add/remove programs.
D) Restart, new hardware detected etc.
Like I said, my best guess at anything else graphics related was the
intel 82810 system & graphics controller under system devices in dev
mgr which is (now) still disabled in this cfg.

Assuming that - as you alluded in a previous reply - you really do have
on-board video, then as Rick has stated in his post "There should be
another
setting somewhere where you can disable the on-board if you want to."
What does your User Manual say on this subject?

If you are not sure what hardware is connected to your PC, then try
running
Belkin Advisor (freeware) from :-
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

It will give an audit of your PC which includes a section on your Display
hardware.

Just a thought, in your original post you said "After installing a
(MadDog)
Nvidia GeForce MX4000 PCI graphics card" Just what were you using before
you installed your new graphics card - and did you remove and/or disable
the
old one?

Disable is NOT an option, choices in CMOS for graphics adapter are PCI
or AGP. There is no AGP slot and selecting AGP requires a CMOS reset
to restart the machine. I have since installed a 3DFX Voodoo3/2000 PCI
adapter which has resolved the Diablo2 latency problem and removes the
Nvidia S-video plug and I continue to get the new hardware found (PCI
vga-compatible adapter) on restart. Mulling over your suggestion of
must be disabled (I agree), I removed the Intel 82810 system &
graphics controller fron the systems devices list, restart, found new
hardare, cancel, and the 82xxx is back in dev mgr. disabled it,
restarted, found new hardware. If I let windows search for a driver it
finds none then lists it as unknown device in dev mgr with a yellow
question mark.
Thanks

Until or unless you confirm that you have DISABLED the on-board graphics
in
the BIOS, the rest of your posting is irrelevant. It's no use just
'uninstalling' it in Device Manager - it MUST be disabled in the BIOS!!!
Otherwise you are wasting both you own time and our time.

If you are not sure how to do this, then either RTFM (Read The Flipping
Manual - polite version!) or take your PC to a local repair shop and get
them to check it for you.

news Following is definitely graphics related but no way (yet)
to determine if related to 2nd device innstalled.
A couple of weeks ago I discovered a major problem with
Diablo2, the right side of display would blink as well
as the bottom (an obverse L). I had installed the latest
drivers from the reseller however' there are later drives
available from Nvidia so I installed them and it fixed the
blinking problem but I still cannot play online because of
some latency/lag problem (ping=4K+ at times in game)
which has nothing to do with my ISP, comm soft/hardware etc
BECAUSE I just installed D2 on an inferior Dell machine,
used the same modem, ISP, everything but mobo and graphics
and my game connection is normal.

Both are an annoyance, the 2nd monitor is installed and enabled in dev
mgr,
the PCI vga grahpics I have disabled and dont understand as the only
connected PCI device is the Nvidia which has vga/svga, dvi and S ports
(dont
know if its in or out).

What exactly are the problems you are experiencing? Rather than
disabling
the second connection each time you boot what happens if you simply
ignore
the second monitor which is probably the s-video port on your
graphics
card? Whilst I don't have an nVidia card I have ATI cards on my PCs
that
have multiple connectors supporting multiple monitors and once
installed
have no further problems.

Major Annoyance
After installing a (MadDog) Nvidia GeForce MX4000 PCI graphics
card
in my 6735 Pavilion (latest drivers installed), at every restart,
I
get new hardware detected and windows insists on installing a
default monitor AND a PCI VGA-compatible display adapter in
addition
to the installed NEC monitor and Nvidia card. The only way around
this so far is to let it install these devices then disable them
in
device manager.
Thanks
