Problems hooking up second monitor

Featured Replies

I was at work yesterday reading all of these great comments about adding a second monitor for FS2002, so I picked up a PCI video card on the way home from work. Problems.First off, I'm starting with a AMD Athlon 1800XP on an Asus A7V-266E motherboard. My AGP card is a Leadtek GF3 Ti200. I have 512mb of RAM. The PCI video card I tried to add is the COMPUSA generic 64mb SiS 305 chipset. I'm running Windows XP Home.When I dropped the card in and fired up the system, it found the new card, recognized it as a PCI VGA card, recognized the SiS 305 chipset and then anounced that the installation had failed and that there was "an error in the data". I tried the installation disk and got to the same point with the same error. I tried the Add Hardware control panel, pointing directly to the drivers. Same thing. I downloaded updated drivers. Same thing.Any thoughts? The card is back in its box and I'm going to take it back to CompUSA tonight to try a GF2 MX200 PCI card unless anybody here has any suggestions.Thanks,Fred

Did you setup your BIOS so that the new card was either primary or secondary. There may be more than one area in BIOS you need to set. Usually, BIOS is set to look for a PCI card first, failing that look for a AGP card. If you don't make the AGP Primary then your system will probably have conflicts trying to service both cards as PCI.Another thing to consider is the PCI slot you put the new card into. Make sure it does use the same IRQ as the AGP, usually IRQ 11. Also, some PCI slots are not acceptable to some cards.

Thanks for the advice. In frustration, I took the card back and picked up a GF2 MX200 card in the hopes that sticking with nVidia products would fix my problem. Got home, plugged it in and had teh same problem as before.Frustrated, I hopped out onto the net and found the solution at http://www.hauppauge.com/html/Winxp_driver_data_invalid.doc courtesy of the good folks at hauppage. Turns out that this is a registry problem. I implemented their fix and am enjoying the pleasures of two monitors as we speak!I don't know what hauppage makes, but as they were the only source of a solution, I'll take two!Thanks again!Fred
