  Step 1:  My Computer Properties

Open a Report
Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop, choose Properties, and then select the General tab.
  Step 2:  Check General Tab

Open a Report
On the General tab, check to see the version of Windows you're running. If you just installed an AGP card on a system running Windows 95, you may see reports of problems, even though the video card seems to be working fine for you. This is because Windows 95 was developed before AGP cards were in active use, and this version doesn't support them well. Proceed to the next step.
  Step 3:  Check with Manufacturer

Check with your video adapter manufacturer or visit the manufacturer's web site to see if you can find important on how best to use your AGP card under Windows 95. Some may have suggestions, which reduce if not eliminate some of the potential difficulties.
  Step 4:  Upgrade or Replace

Open a Report
If the difficulties with your AGP card running under Windows 95 are so serious as to make Windows behave unstably, you may want to consider one of two options: upgrade to Windows 98 which does support AGP use or replace the AGP video with a PCI video card.
