    Click on this link, it will take you to an HP page specifically about upgrading the video.

    You will also need to change the jumpers to disable the onboard video (VGAEN):

    Hope this helped.

    as for the cd, visit the video card mfr's website and look for the drivers there.

    Assuming you've got the card fully "seated" (pushed into the slot all the way), then if Windows isn't detecting it, the card doesn't work.
