how do you install a graphics card to a laptop?

YOU DON'T! You don't get to add stuff like that to a laptop. If you want better graphics, you have to buy a new laptop.

no, you can't upgrade the graphics cards, because it's integrated on the motherboard in most laptops (there are exceptions, but very few).\nthere are no special laptop OS's, it's the same OS as used in desktop PCs.

Ist try just installing the 5200,,and see if the 'puter will recognize>install it.\n\nIt "SHOULD" do it all automatically,,,plug&play.\n\nIf it doesn't and you need to disable the onboard graphics,,,\n\nOn Dells you tap the F2 Key or the  DELETE key,,right after you start the computer and hear the 1st beep.\n\nOn a Dimension,,I think it's Delete,,,,most are F2.\nTry again if one doesnt work,,use the other.\n\nOk,,that bring you to the DOS based Bios Setup Screen.\n\nYou use the Arrows on the Keyboard to get around instead of the mouse.\nThe Up/Down/Left/Right buttons.\nAnd use ENTER instead of clicking the mouse.\n\nYou'll have a few menu selections,,,,,(Sorry my mind is Blank,,,I can't say exactly Which/Where the Graphics settings are,,,sheesh me :)\n\nBut it's Easy to find,,and very obvious.\n\nGo to one menu,,hit ENTER key,,,and look around for it.\n\nWhen you find it,,,use the arrow keys to highlight the selection,,,,then ENTER to open it,\nswitch the graphics OFF,,,,and hit enter again to accept that.\n\nYou will have to hit a certain key to Save the Changes and Exit,,,usually F10.\nBut it will TELL You somewhere on the screen which exact key to Save & Exit\n\nLots easier to do than to explain,,lol\n\nYou'll have no probs,,,,and PROBALY the PC will accpet the FX5200 without having to do anything.\n\nMost modern PC will auto-cancel the Onboard Graphics when nothing is connected to their output..\n\nSo basically,,,by connecting your Monitor to the NEW card,,,you have already disable the onboards video.\n\nWindows will install IT's native  NVIDIA Drivers,,\nbut you'll probably want to install latest drivers fron Nvidia site,,or Card MFGR's site.\n\nIf You have an INSTALL CD,,,,chances are it's Drivers are Better than Windows'....\nBut they are probably not the latest drivers\n\nHope that helps,,,,\nYou should enjoy that new card compared to Onboard,,,it's a big boost in graphics performance

add a PCI/AGP graphic card that has TV out port (S-Video), or maybe RCA adapters

It's easy...for windows XP, go to start->control panel->Performance and Maintennance->System. Then go to the "Hardware" tab, click "Device Manager". Click view and choose "Devices by connection". Expand all the Icons (click on the small + in the small box beside the icons) till you see PCI bus. Expand more icons till you see your name of your grapics card. Then look back upwards by one stage and you will see something like "Intel(R) 82131XX/XX/XX Processor to AGP Controller". AGP Controller means AGP bus. PCI controller means PCI bus and so on.\n\nSimpler step is to look up the computer's manual for info regarding the graphics.

if there is an external monitor display vga card inside your laptop then you will be able to.\nbut if it is older than 9 years than definitly you wont have that card in your laptop.

Your card for your laptop should have come with an installation disk.Providing you have a card plugged into the slot on your laptop and have followed all the instructions. First go to your desktop Pc and be sure that you have checked "Allow others to connect through this computer" checked. Then on your laptop you will need to go to "Tools"(on Internet)..Internet Options..Connections tab..be sure "never dial a connection is checked..Then click on Lan Settings. Check the Automatically detect settings box. Then click on Advanced. Be sure the fields HTTP(Proxy) and Port are filled in. Then just keep clicking on OK until you are completely out of Tools.

While the laptop has a PCI express interface, it does *not* have a PCI express card slot -- the interface is on the motherboard directly between the graphics chip and the bus, there is no slot.  It follows the electrical and data rate specs of PCI Express, but not the desktop-PC *form factor* for the PCI Express card slot.\nSo, basically, you can't put a new graphics card in the laptop.  It's soldered on the motherboard.  No replacement is possible without buying a whole new motherboard.\nSorry.

Ok dude, here's the deal; \n(1.) You can update your video card driver by right clicking on my computer, then click on properties, then on the hardware tab, then on device manager, then click on display adapters, and finally click update driver on the top of the page after higlighting your video card.\n\n(2.) You can buy a new video card and install it. (You could take it to Citcuit City and have them install it for you if you don't know how, also  keep in mind that they are expensive if you wan't to keep up with today's modern games.)\n \nGood Luck---Hope I helped

install the drivers for the graphics card from the motherboard CD. then update your drivers from the manufactures website. for example if your GPU is made by Nvidia go to www.nvidia.com/drivers

1. Need to open your case. Screws are usually in the back or sometimes in the front depending on your case type. \n2. Slide the panel off the side of the case so you can see all the parts and hardware in the computer\n3. Locate the PCI sockets. They will be short (usually white) sockets located towards the rear of the computer. \n4. Gently but firmly, line up the card with the socket and push down (but don't force). If it does not go in easily, then something is wrong. Make sure the silver medal bracket on the card is facing the back of the PC.\n5. Put the case back on\n6. Boot up windows and it should detect your new hardware. You may need to install drivers to make it work

The guy was right.  You cannot change/upgrade the graphics card on your laptop because it doesn't come with one.  The Intel chipset which is built into the system board is your graphics controller cannot be upgraded.

need more information.\n\nIf you graphic adapter is inbedded on your system board look for the manufacturers website or the company that built you computer.\n\nAlso you can check your chipset and do a google search for any video drivers that match your chipset.  You can find this out by checking "Device manager" and expanding the system device settings.  Also check the Device manager for you "display adapter" it may show the correct one regardless of the driver you have installed and download the correct driver

It is impossible to download a graphics card.  If you are looking for the drivers you need to discover the manufacturer and then venture to their website to download the drivers or do a web search and find them through other means.
