HOW TO ENABLE AGP?

i recently purchased an inspiron 5100 with an ati 7500 64 mb.  my question is how the heck does one enable AGP. The card supports up to 4x AGP, but I dont know how to do this. I tried going into system setup and even tried installing riva tuner, but still no luck. Any thoughts on how to get around this? any help appreciated

thx

what makes you think the card isn't already running x4 AGP?

by any chance are you using netmeeting or remote desktop sharing?
if yes to either, turn it/them off.

no i am not using either since i disabled both of them.

The funny thing is that I called up dell tech support, and they had no idea what to do. how can my graphics card be in an AGP slot and not be enabled.....this is false advertisement on dells part by saying that the card is 4X AGP and then disabling it.

someone has to have figured out a solution to this by now....do i installed new chipset drivers....yaaaaaa...lolz

yea...i reformated my laptop. I tried runnig dxdiag earlier and under the display tab, the AGP texture acceleration is "not available." And no I have not installed the intel chipset driver...maybe that will solve the problem.

I was going to ask if this was a fresh install & if so did you install the intel chipset driver.
what do you see in display if your run dxdiag from the run box?
are all your dx features enabled?
