If you have an empty pci slot you'll have to take the cover off and look at the card types the slot should look like my card bottom once stuffed into the empty slot windows will pick up the device then follow the prompts through your software and walaw it works. remember the back of your machine should already have a monitor plug maybe it's broken i don't know the card is only 4 mega bits so it might be just a little bigger than your mother board everthing should be fine. . .have fun:-)
