it does still say plug and play monitor, but I put the disk that came with the monitor in and it said that I already had the best match for my equipment

this is your problem. you probably need your monitor drivers installed.

right click desktop -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> monitor -> properties -> driver -> update driver

pop in the cd. if it tells you that you already have the best match, you need to override this. i think theres an option to 'choose from the list of all compatible drivers' or something.

So I should get the Radeon 7000 PCI?? Can I install that myself if I don't know much about computers? Thanks

You can. But you make enough on your poker roll to just go ahead and card the thing into your local CompUSA, etc and have them install it for you. That way you don't have to worry about Fing something up and if they F it up, you can bust their nuts with a ball-peen hammer.

Ok anyone with a brain should be able to install a video card, AGP or PCI..

I think you missed my first sentence... People can do a lot of things they pay others to do for them.

On an install scale of light bulb to kidney, a video card is basically equivalent to a halogen bulb. It goes in very easily, you just have to be careful while putting it in.
