please help me im all out of ideas

Does it say in device manger that you are using the driver from the AGP graphics card?

It says in location pci bus 1, device 0, function 0 when i checked the device manager.

does anyone know how to make sure the agp is enabled and the fast write. on the bios i have put agp onto enabl and agp fastwrite onto enable yet everest is telling me its not on and im losing out on power. some advice on this matter would be really appreciated.

make sure that ADD-on AGP is your primary graphics in the bios.
