In order for the proper AGP port driver to load, the chipset must be recognized by the operating system. Some systems require the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility(if you have an Intel chipset...which I assume you do) in order for the operating system to fully recognize the chipset.

Also check the MSi forum and see if other people have had this problem. Post your full specs (motherboard model, motherboard chipset, graphics card model, operating system, BIOS version) With this info we can see if your operating system will reconize the graphics card chipset. It is common that the operating system will not reconize the AGP card. Without all this info nobody can do any research and help you.
