Im trying to use two monitors using two video cards. In Bios when i have the primary source set on AGP windows boots fine and the monitor on the source works. The second monitor on the PCI card does not and has an error in the device manager. Its a yellow circle with an exclamation and says device cannot start. The driver page for this product(ATI 3D rage IIC) says to use the generic one that comes with windows so i did... no help. When i switch the primary source to PCI, the other monitor starts to work while the AGP doesnt and then quits just before loading windows. Can anyone hook me up?
 
Some combinations of video cards plain just don't work together, so that's always a possibility...
