If you need to reinstall your OS every time you replace your video card, then either <I>you are a freaking idiot</I> or <I>you are doing something horribly, horribly wrong</I>. (Or both.)

^^; ...I dunno what the problem was, but I have a Compaq 5BW220, and when I went on their forum's a lot of other people with this model can't get video cards to work as well, so I gave up. ^^

I'm not familiar with Compaq's, but I suspect they're not that friendly for upgraders (unlike eMachines). That model 5BW220 has integrated video hardware. You probably have to disable it through the BIOS in order to allow an add-in video card to work. That's just a guess, though.

And it's a bad guess.

Just checked two PCs that have integrated graphics. Neither one had an option to disable graphics. Audio and modem...but not video.
So, that won't help you.

Yep, I had that problem with an old Dell. If the onboard video can't be disabled, it may not like another video card added on.

Compaqs aren't really meant for user-alteration.

Hmmm, I believe you haven't looked hard enough. I seem to remember reading something about fixing this in either ErMaC's Guide or the Adobe Premiere Help File. It's something to do with the default settings within Premiere. Anyway, the solution was that while you are in Premiere to go:

Project > Project Settings > General

From there you would change the "Editing Mode" to something other then the default which is "Quick Time."

It's set to "Video for Windows" like it always has been.
