Not sure if this'll help you out at all, but Multi Head Gaming seems to have all that type of stuff.

You'll also want to check the properties of that device, to see exactly what's troubling it. It's probebly an IRQ conflict.

You're running two PCI cards, I thought that the Viper770 was AGP. Anyway, maybe try checking your CMOS. Check the VGA boot sequence, Check to see if you have it set to load up PCI display cards first. You could also try checking your Device Shadow settings, make sure everything is at the default settings. Then try enabeling the option for a Plug 'n Play OS. That'll let windows handle the IRQ asignments for the display cards. Hope somethat helps. . .

if it even made sense, that'd be cool

What exactly does it say when you're looking at the properties?

one is AGP, and the second is PCI ( i have 2 of them, tryiong One at a time )

I put in the other pci card but still the same stuff.

oh, and i origiannly set the AGP video to boot first, it wouldnt display anytyhing otherwise with the 2 cards in.

last night i just had a dream of having 3 flatpanel 21" monitors side to side (sorta like a panoramic configuration), and had such a fun time playing q3..that the dream givers made me wake up.

it was fun while it lasted though

4s buddy, I've got some bad news for you. If your running an AGP and a PCI display device then you HAVE to go into the bios and change the VGA Bios Sequence to PCI/AGP. Windows will only let you have PCI and AGP running together if the PCI is the primary. That would probably be why your PCI isn't working, I think that most systems are set for AGP/PCI by default.

What you can try to do is to remove all your display drivers, then put the PCI in first, then the AGP. I'm not to sure how it's all supposed to work, but I think that you might have to do it that way.
