ATI Radeon 7500 AIW and Radeo 7000 same computer

[Terence G.]

I was able to get everything working using the latest drivers for the
7500.

1. Installed the 7500 and got everything working, inc. TV/DVD/Remote
(does guide+ ever work ? only get 10 stations on cable setting)
2.Installed 7000 card and re-installed the
[wxp-w2k-catalyst-7-991-040224m-013831c.exe] drivers/software.
Everything works @1280x1024 on 2 Amptron LCD monitors except the TV
???

Error msg:
"The TV player failed to initialize the video.

Check the Windows Device Manager to ensure that the correct video
driver has been installed and is working properly before attempting to
restart TV."

I checked in the device manager and everything is behaving. No
conflicts etc...

btw
Win2k server
Disabled terminal services b/c the tv won't work when running.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Update:
Physically removed the 7000 and the ATI codecs appeared under Device
manager /sound,video.../
TV working !

Physically installed the card back and booted up to find ATI codecs
missing ???

Is there any way of running both Radeon cards 7000 and 7500 and
getting the TV to work ?

Sounds like an even worse ****-around than I go through with my 7200 and
Xpert98.

I've found it's install "primary" card first, get it all working, then
insert the 2nd card and only install it's driver and nothing else.

Any attempy at updating anything with both cards in system runs risk of
video in not working.
