grandpabruce Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks for your help....i read the discussion boards quite often, I'm envious of your vast knowledge of computers....... We learned most of what we know about these programs from reading these forums and some experimentation on our own. I learned what I know about computers by messing mine up constantly (without trying), and then fixing them. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidwell Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Your BIOS may disable it automatically. Most do, now. Check your users manual. There may be something in there about it.Thanks, Walt. I figured it would. I am an ATI person, and the card that I have in this computer is the first Nvidia card that I have had in 6 years. Further discussion on EMC9 video diagnostic failure when opening VideoWave. My card is a SiS650. It is built into the motherboard but meets EMC9 requirements. DirectX 9.0c and other minimums are also met. I get the 'failure' message. Please tell me more about the 'chip' disable procedure in the bios and whether you feel this will resolve the issue as opposed to spending more money to install a new card. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You SIS more than likely does NOT meet the requirements of EMC 9. There are portions of DirectX 9 that EMC 9 uses, that your video card does not support, even though it supports some parts of DirectX 9. You don't disable the onboard video chip UNLESS you have installed a dedicated video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an AGP 8x 256 graphics card to put in, just not sure if I needed it or not, evidently, huh? Do I need to uninstall Roxio EMC9 before I install a graphics card??

No, don't uninstall the software. Install the new video card, and install the latest video drivers for the card. What video card are you going to install? Also, if the existing video is a chip, make sure that you disable it in the BIOS, if the computer does not do it automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimicher Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 nvidia GEforce FX 5200 256MB DDR Actually that video card should work fine, I have the same card but with only 128MB of video memory and have no problems with the card. Make sure you have the latest drivers and DirectX 9c installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
