Can't fit new graphics card in! ?

I have a Dell XPS 410

I just got an nVidia GeForce GT 220

It isn't like unscrew and pull out, rather ther is a mini wall in my way.

Amy idea what I'm saying or what to do?

Update:

It's not the little thing by the port and it isn't the bing blue thing up front. On the right side, the back almost curls around. There is a hinge, but I can't seem to unscrew it

    You mean the blue plastic thing? In a picture I looked up, it seems it should unscrew on the bottom of the case.. maybe elsewhere too.

    If you're talking about that little plastic tab at the end of your PCI-E x16 slot... that holds your card in place. Just pull it a little to the right (not too hard, don't break it) and your card should slide right in.

    You also need to pull it aside when removing a graphics card.

    ***Update***

    That blue cover shown in the 2nd posters picture? That should just flip up out of the way.
