    OK, I have a system set up that had a display adapter built into the motherboard. I have since then installed an ATI AIW Radeon 8500 mainly for capturing video. I would like to run a piece of software that cannot function with this card (the card is too advanced for the software to work with it, so troubleshooting said).

    Now, going into my Device Manager, I have the option of Disabling my video card - but there are no other alternate display adapters listed. My question is: What will happen if I disable my ATI card? I assume it's functioning as the primary display adaptor - so will turning it off default back to the original display adaptor? Or will the computer think there's nothing there and be unable to give me a display?

    (Sorry if this is an idiot question, I just don't know).

    Thanks.

    I would have thought if you delete it, reboot and then don't re-install the drivers then you'll have the default drivers.
