Turn off the computer and unplug it from the wall.

After grounding yourself by touching the computer case, carefully take the old card out, trying not to touch anything inside the 
case except the card and the screw that holds it in place.

Then, put the new card in and restart the computer.  The computer should come up and have an image using the default Windows graphic 
drivers.

Use the disk that came with the new card to install the new drivers for the card and to make the new graphics settings (right-click 
on a blank part of the screen).

If this does not work, please explain to us in more detail what you mean by "when I try to update it the update won't take."  This 
is not clear.  If you mean that the new drivers won't install, then, possibly, you'll have to uninstall the old drivers first.

Subject: [PCBUILD] installing graphics card


I have a PC with an 128mb AGP graphics card that I want to replace with a
256mb PCI card can some one tell me what I have to do to install the PCI
card. I tried to install it but when I try to update it the update won't
take. Do I have to change the port or address or something? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
