After the video card has been installed
and the monitor has been connected to the video card and plugged into
the power outlet, it will be necessary to install the correct drivers
for the video card. The Windows 9x operating systems should detect the
video card, start the system with basic VGA video drivers, and ask
whether to install the manufacturer video drivers.
The Windows 2000 operating system is even more proactive. It
will detect the new video card, tell the user that it has found
the new card, and then automatically load its video drivers. The
only time that the user needs to be directly involved with the
system video drivers is when PnP fails or the video card is not
recognized by the operating system.
