  3. The video card does not require specific drivers to be installed in order for the computer to detect it and for it to produce video. ALL modern mboards, mboard bioses, video chipsets, and modern operating systems (e.g. win 95 and up) already support basic VGA video."At least my computer "auto detectRead more

    The video card does not require specific drivers to be installed in order for the computer to detect it and for it to produce video. ALL modern mboards, mboard bioses, video chipsets, and modern operating systems (e.g. win 95 and up) already support basic VGA video.

    “At least my computer “auto detected” the 9500GT …..”

    The video card will always be auto detected if it’s working properly, and if there’s nothing wrong with the PCI-E X16 slot’s circuits.

    The fact that the other video card works fine indicates your mboard’s main chipset probably does NOT support Hybrid video, the onboard video is probably automatically disabled when you install a working card in the working PCI-E X16 slot, and there’s nothing wrong with the PCI-E X16 slot’s circuits if the card is detected by the mboard and the if specific video drivers you loaded for that card work fine.

    “Now to return the PNY to Newegg (can’t get them to send me another one right away because it’s out of stock).”

    Since it appears you have two dead video cards, it’s a lot more likely you did something you shouldn’t have done (see response 5) that fried the cards than the card was defective before you installed it.
    A tiny percentage of new video cards may be dead on arrival, but when newegg indicates the card is re-certified, it HAS been tested to make sure it still works.

  6. You may be able to find some ISO programs that can open an NRG file and allow you to extract the files without the need to burn to CD (PowerISO, UltraISO, MagicISO, etc.).

    You may be able to find some ISO programs that can open an NRG file and allow you to extract the files without the need to burn to CD (PowerISO, UltraISO, MagicISO, etc.). These can also burn to CD without requiring installing Nero.

    But I suggest that the “structure” of files/folders inside the Nero Image file may need to be respected in order to make the “reading” of the result as intended.

    They can appear anywhere as they hold information on how a particular folder is displayed. They aren’t normally visible unless you have the system set to display system files, (which isn’t a good idea), but when you copy a folder the system always asks if you want to copy the desktop.ini file as well and it does no harm whether you do or not, Windows will rebuild it at the first opportunity.

    So you cannot permanently get rid of them, and you should only be aware of them in file copying situations so just ignore them is the best advice – they do no harm but are an essential for Windows’ day-today running.
