The device cannot start............
I got a monitor today and decided to add a cheap 2M PCI card I had laying around as a second monitor. Well, Windows doesnt like that idea......
I tried moving it to another PCI slot, yet still didnt work. In order to use the PCI card, I gotta disable my onboard SiS in the device manager. But I want to use BOTH Video cards to do dual monitors can anyone help?
PS: the SiS is AGP and integerated, but when I put it a real AGP card into the slot, the same thing happens, only one can work at a time.

And I dont think you can have 2 AGP cards.
Becuase as M$ statse you can only use 1 AGP and 1 PCI or 2 PCI and no other ways.
Usually when you put in an AGP card, the BIOS disabled the onboard video.
Ah, but you got a cert. :-) You can't beat that when an employer requires that you have MCSE!
The dual monitors thing
The difference between WINNT and WINNT32
MAKEBOOT and MAKEBT32
RAS (What it is)
The definition of a 'site'
That you can't upgrade from NT 3.1 or 3.5 to 2000, but rather only from NT 3.51 or 4 to 2000.
That when you add a DC to a domain, the ANI looks like a cabal of servers taking a dump on the new one.

other stuff.
OK, so I remember a fair bit, but it's all theory! I remember little to nothing about HOW to do it.
And what's worse, the 2000 MCxx is depricated, and soon MS will refuse me (and any other 2000 MCxx) who hasn't upgraded to 2003 the right to call themselves MCxx.
And the class was total BS, the 1st teacher was this dude from Pakistan (One of those East Asian -stan's) who had a hard to understand accent and even harder grasp of the subject matter. He was annoying and left about 3/4s the way though to go back to his father as he was having heath issues.
The guy who replaced him was such a MS zealot (He rearranged the 25+ desks and changed the screen resolution to 'the way MS want's it to be') I hate him to this day. He stereotyped me (He DID aplologize later about it, though) to get a point across, had an annoying way of teaching (The other one did too), and was generally not that great.
And I had this frickin' ANNOYING lab parter who used to be this truck driver, cheated on the practise exams to 'know why he was wrong', was one of those Trenchers who knew all about everything (Like, kids these days, you know what I mean, you're probably met people like him), and yet fucked about 9/10s of the labs!
Bottom line: I didn't really earn those 8 letters after my name.

Well...so much for the dual monitor idea....I may just replace this 17" that was pincushion problems. Nice monitor, 15", good display and the bst thing! ITS Engergy Star Compliant!!!! Im not killing the trees w00t
-=:NOTE:=- this is my 500th post!
Anyway, Im sticking with XP. The 15" is going to replace my 300MHz's fucked up 17" and the 17" will probly be used as my laptops monitor(laptop's using IBM PS\2 monitor which cant pass 640x480) or just throw the thing out if I cant fix the 17"
I had it done once also with a 2M PCI and my 8M AGP in my 400MHz
