I have had my Nvidea Geoforce 7600 card installed on my computer(dell Dimension 4550 , Pent 4 ,2.4 ghz 1 g ram) and it has run beautifully under 2000pro..In order to run newer games i installed XP Pro on a separate hard drive..It (xp) runs fine,HOWEVER...It will not acknowledge my video card.Ive run the install cd that came with the card.it claims to have taken the install but NO ..on every start up it goes thru the "found new hardware" and i offer up the nvidea disk ...but still wont take....XP is a supported os for this card .....what gives? I knew i fought the xp os upgrade for a reason....but didnt think it would be this difficult...HELP

It takes almost 30 seconds to go from one e-mail to the next or even to delete one. I just defragmented my computer and it has 73% free space. This slowness has just recently happened, so I don't know if I accidently did something to make this happen. I have no clue as to what my next step might be to try. As you can see I'm not very computer literate. I would appreciate any detailed step by step answers. I have a Dell that's about 2 years old with Windows XP. Thanks.
