No display after bios change.

I was trying to disable the onboard video on my desktop and changed the vido from pci to agp. the card is pci. Now I have no video.  
I am thinking one option is to get an agp card to get my video back.  
Is there a way to reset this option to pci? Obviously ,  I have no display......

Onboard video is usually AGP, so have you tried plugging the monitor to your onboard video connector?  You can also try resetting the BIOS, but I think using the motherboard video connector should do it.

This is a rather old motherboard, I cant find anything on it to tell me what kind of board it is.  
The onboard items have cables that connect to the mb on pins, but there is not one for the video. I am not sure where the video connection is, I dont see one labeled.  I suspect who ever worked on this before removed that when they put the pci card in.  There is only one video connector and its on the pci card in the pci slot. There is a larger slot which is not labeled but I think is the agp slot.  
I had everything up and running but we could not get the video to take the settings.  I looked in the devices and it had two for display with one of them having the yellow alert on it.  This is why I started trying to disable the onboard one.  I identifed the pci card as I have the book and cdrom for it.

so now, after i changed the bios to agp, i get no display.  and there is no place to hook up to the onboard display.
