Have you tried uninstalling your old video card first and set the video to vga 256 collors .Then turn off your computer , replace the old by the new card and restart windows again .
Install video drivers and follow instructions

Ensure that you have the following settings in your system
               BIOS setup:
                   Enable \"Assign IRQ to VGA\"
If possible set video to  VGA 16 collor mode
instead of 256 collor mode

Those notes came with my geforce 2 GTS from creative labs ,perhaps they apply to your card too ,but you must read the readme.txt first
