annoyance
n 1: the psychological state of being irritated or annoyed [syn: irritation, vexation, botheration] 2: anger produced by some annoying irritation [syn: chafe, vexation] 3: an unpleasant person who is annoying or exasperating [syn: aggravator] 4: something or someone that causes trouble; a source of unhappiness; "washing dishes was a nuisance before we got a dish washer"; "a bit of a bother"; "he's not a friend, he's an infliction" [syn: bother, botheration, pain, infliction, pain in the neck, pain in the ass] 5: the act of troubling or annoying someone [syn: annoying, irritation, vexation] On Thu, 7 Apr 2005 11:48:53 +0100, "Mike M" wrote: 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. |

Would you like me to post the dictionary definition for pathetic for you
since I'm sorry but your post adds nothing. See various earlier posts about the need to disable onboard graphics chips in the bios. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP fastlane wrote: annoyance n 1: the psychological state of being irritated or annoyed [syn: irritation, vexation, botheration] 2: anger produced by some annoying irritation [syn: chafe, vexation] 3: an unpleasant person who is annoying or exasperating [syn: aggravator] 4: something or someone that causes trouble; a source of unhappiness; "washing dishes was a nuisance before we got a dish washer"; "a bit of a bother"; "he's not a friend, he's an infliction" [syn: bother, botheration, pain, infliction, pain in the neck, pain in the ass] 5: the act of troubling or annoying someone [syn: annoying, irritation, vexation] |

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) Rick TheRealFastlane wrote: Disable is NOT an option, choices in CMOS for graphics adapter are PCI or AGP.

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

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 http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/cposupport...h06273&Smplr=Y On Mon, 25 Apr 2005 00:08:52 +0100, "Mart" wrote: 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.

Mart "fastlane" wrote in message 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.

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. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP TheRealFastlane wrote: 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.
