Upgrade Guide

Install a new graphics card, step by step.

3. Install the Software

Turn on your PC. Eventually, you should see a message flash briefly on the screen saying that Windows has detected new hardware and is installing software for it.

The exact screens you'll see will depend on the version of Windows you use. Read the screens carefully and follow the directions. If you're using an updated driver (see step 1), specify the location where you stored the driver. If you're using the drivers that came with your card, insert the floppy disk or CD-ROM. Windows 98 will automatically look for a floppy disk or CD-ROM if you check the correct boxes; under Windows 95 you'll need to specify the driver's location or use the Browse button to find it.

You may be given the option of installing additional features or utilities. You may also be asked to insert your original Windows 9x CD-ROM. Eventually, you'll need to restart your computer.
