2nd graphic cards problem
Hi,
I've got an onboard ATI graphix on my PC.
I had, on an older computer, a gforce fx 5200 PCI.
I would like to use my 2 screens, one on the onboard graphix and the other one on the gforce.
When i boot and on the windows desktop, i've got this message that i will try to translate from french to english.
"the graphic driver can not be used now, it has been made for another windows version that is not compatible anymore with this version.
The system boots with standard VGA driver.
call your reseller...and so on"
this nvidia graphix was working fine within windows XP
Motherboard compatibility problems ?
Do you have some ideas that may help ?
Thanks a lot.

DO you want to use just the Gforce card ( 2 outputs ) on 1 from the motherboard and one from the gforce ?
If just the gforce, I would disable the onboard VGA in the BIOS.
I hope this helps !

hello,
I want one monitor on the onboard card and the other one on the gforce. (i wont use both VGA outputs on the gforce)
When I disable the ATI onboard graphix, the gforce is working fine, no drivers problems or messages, and when I enable the onboard ATI, i've got the problem.
May it comes from an incompatibility from nvidia and ATI ?
Thanks.
