re-format

hello,

i have a dell dimension L1000R running windows xp pro. i had to reformat the hard drive, and in the process i encountered a video problem. the machine has an ati graphics card, but during the installation, the screen went all wacky, displaying only lines and colors. i went into the bios and changed the video option to onboard, but when i connect the monitor to the onboard video port, the screen stays black after boot up. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

thanks in advance!

    craftsman,

    Did you remove the video card physically from the system to get the onboard card to work? It is possible for the system to auto disable the onboard video card if there is an expansion card present.
