Do you think you could do remote assistance = ) ???

Nope, never used remote assistance, don't want to spend the time doing so, and consider that such a service is beyond what a forum such as DaniWeb, or its members, should be expected to provide.

Unfortunately, that info does not identify the model of your Gateway PC, and I think you need to contact Gateway's support section to find out how to disable the onboard display on that PC, unless you are lucky enough for another member here who has hands on experience with Gateway systems can offer more helpful advice.

Okay, thanks for all your help, I tinkered around with it enough to figure out how to get it working.

With the add-in display card working correctly? If so, could you please note what the settings were which fixed the problem, in case anyone else with the same troubles is reading this sometime and wants to know?

I'm not sure what that means but I fixed my problem by deleting everything having to do with a video controller and found my original nvidia installation cd.. I installed it and everything works fine now.

By 'deleting' I suspect you mean 'uninstalling'. Does that mean that when you uninstalled the entries for the Intel display, as I posted about earlier, you were then able to get the NVidia installation to be successful?

I'm a bit careful about the terms used, in case others reading actually 'delete' files and make a bigger mess than they had to start with.

Is it an onboard video card, or do you have a second video card installed?

Yikes, its not fixed...now my start bar at the bottom is grey instead of th blue xp type it should be. Whenever I try to join a game it freezes up completely. Somethings still wrong with my computer. I'm gonna reformat it..i've noticed everytime I reformat it, it works fine. Once it works fine I install the latest nvidia drivers and my sound drivers then shortly after that it stops working. What should I do after reformatting now?
