Help!

My motherboard is a MSI 865GVM2-LS. It has 3 PCI slots NOT PCI express. I bought an nvidia geforce 5500 videocard from wal-mart. I put the card in and the board reads it but when i try to install drivers from the disk that came with it, it says that there are no compatable drivers...so is there anyone that can help me find a decent videocard for gaming that is compatable with my system?

Look at the upper left where it says "Download Drivers".
Click there, pick your product (GeForce 5 FX series), click "Search", click the agreement, download, and install.

Use the drivers from the above site before you pop for another video card. The drivers supplied with video cards are usually very outdated and rarely work.

umm not possitive here but disable the onboard vid if ur board has it first, then reseat the vid card and try the driver install again

Try installing the drivers through the Device Manager.

I believe that there is onboard graphics for that board, so try the above suggestion.
