A little more detail, please.
You have an integrated video card, *and* an add-on card?
You are seeing which: vertical or horizontal gray lines, they are how thick, and how often do they appear on the screen (whole screen, just a few, some at the top / bottom)?

Sorry...missed that you'd replied.
Find a blank spot on your desktop and right click. Choose properties.
Once this opens, click the 'settings' tab.
Does this show 2 active monitors in the window? (see attachment)

Secondly, reopen the display properties dialog (see previous post) and disable any monitor that does not exist by removing any check marks from the "extend my desktop" section (see attached), while the monitor is selected in the dialog window. Lastly, make sure that your primary monitor is marked as primary, using the same area in the dialog (see attached again).

Do you have more than one display adapter connection port on the back of the computer? Are you sure you're in the right one?

Ok, dumb question, but are you sure the card you're using is AGP and not PCI?

Strange one.
Please post the exact card you're using: make, model, version.
I also need to know the OS in use.
What motherboard?

Did you ever actually disable the on-board card?

I've found several references to incompatibility between that motherboard and graphics card. I'd suggest you contact the mobo manufacturer and see if they can verify, or perhaps provide you with updated drivers.

You hadn't answered, did you or did you not disble the on board drivers/video card?

You would reenable it?
Your issue might (and I stress might) be related to your not disabling the old one first. You start by going into the BIOS, and disabling on board video. If this doesn't work, you restart, go into the BIOS and reenable.

Then I would have to go back to the suggestion that the card might be incompatable with the motherboard. I'd highly recommend contacting the manufacturer and explaiing the problem, as well as the suspicion it's incompatable to get their input.
