Multriple Video Adapters on XP

[Bill]

Problem setting up 3 video adapaters on XP Pro.

I can set up any combination of two of my 3 video cards
fine.

But when I try set up all three it claims that the third
has a non approved driver and set it to 4bit 640x480
recolution. This is tosh. All the driver are correct XP
versions and as I said I can get any combinaton of the
two working perfectly.

Cards are:

Matrox Twin Head on AGP
Voodoo on PCI
Nvidia on PCI

Any help would be useful.

may have to buy another Matrox if no joy :-(

Have found previous posts about clashing drivers - but
that does not make sense since I can get the two PCI
cards to work together and either PCI card with the AGP
card - spooky!

This is one reason why it is recommended to install one chipset for all the
video cards. Trying to not get driver clash.

The Voodoo video card may be the one that is causing the problem. There has
not been an official driver since 3DFX (makers of the Voodoo chipset) went
bankrupt.

Bill, check the database over at www.realtimesoft.com They have users
enter what cards, what operating systems and so on that they have
successfully setup. I found that database to be extremely helpful when
setting up my multi-monitor system. They also have discussion boards at the
site where you may be able to get some firsthand recommendations about the
hardware you have and what else you may need to do or add to get this
working.
