Rich,

You didn't mention anything about the video drivers.......
have you installed the appropriate driver for the new card?

If  so, then I would guess that the most likely problem is that the new card
is
not fully seated correctly.  AGP cards have an edge connector with a much
higher density of contact points than the older style cards.  Ergo, each
connection point is much smaller and needs more precise alignment.

Pull the card, reseat it, and GENTLY wiggle it around a little.

I boot my machine for the first time, it gives a long bleep and does not
recognize the card, on reboot it works fine.  I browsed the motherboard
manual, but this didn't help, and there are no jumpers on the voodoo card to
change.

will continue to check for a PCI Adapter every time I boot first time?
