two video cards

[youngstown]

hey i have a video card which is a ..STANDARD PCI GARPHICS ADAPTER (VGA)
that one is connected to the mother board.. not a PCI or AGP slot..
then i got a CIRRUS LOGIC 5430/40 PCI card from another computer and put it in my empty PCI slot and also intalled the drivers..

so basically i have two video cards on my win98se computer..

but in my computer in properties in the DEVICE MANAGER section.. it show that my CIRRUS LOGIC card cannot work because..

"Your computer's display driver will not work with Multiple Dsplay Support. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance in obtaing a display driver that will work with Multiple Display Support."

i cant contact them because i got this from another computer. i guess..

so what can i do?

i tried to take out the old video adapter and put the monitor cable in the new one but put the monitor wont display..

help i really want a better card than the one connected to the mother board..

ps. this computer is 6 years old.. thats why the old video card is connected to the mother board..

please help!!!!

did you disable the onboard video card? You can do that through systems hardware in the control panel.

You really need to disable the onboard video in the hardware. There may be a jumper on the motherboard or a setting in the BIOS setup.

On the otherhand, you onboard video just needs a driver if its showing as Standard VGA. It may be just as good or better then the Cirrus card.

If your computer is a brand name system, like a Compaq or DELL, find its model number and download the driver from their support site.

If its a custom built system use Everest to identify the motherboard model.

Look under Motherboard -> Motherboard -> Motherboard name. Then go to the motherboard manufacturer's website and download the driver.

You can also post the model numbers here for assistance.
