So it wont even get video before windows? If he is not getting the emachines logo(or whatever it shows, before windows starts to load, this is not a problem with the driver as wiffle bat says.
With emachines I have seen 2 ways to deactivate onboard video(assuming it is onboard).
1 is in the bios, press del, f2,f3, whatever at the emachines screen when the system truns on, look for somthing about the vidoe controller, make sure it is either set for agp, or the onboard video is disabled,
Another thing I have done in the past, is to load up with the onboard video, enter the device manager and disable the onboard video controller, shutdown and install the onboard.
The other possibility is since the onboard video or cpi card is installed as the primary, the agp card is the 2ndary, the perfered method would be to disable this, but in the display properties if you see 2 or 3 monitors listed then, one of those is probably your other video card, you can ty to set it to the primary.
remeber if you fuck anything up, you can always use safe mode.
