Problem with Dual Video Cards

[Guest]

Windows 2000 Pro. I just installed an NVIDIA video controller update from
the Microsoft web site. After doing this, my system appeared to not boot up.
In fact, it appears that the video card (NVIDIA) stopped working midway
through the boot. When I plugged into the video port on the motherboard, I
was able to login and work on my system. I have tried uninstalling the video
driver and reinstalling an older version, but now have the same result even
with the older driver. Is there something I can do to get my NVidia card
working again? Is there some setting that tells the system which video card
to use? Please help! Thanks and God bless.

Note: I notice that the NVidia card must be the default video for boot up.
Video works until midway or so through the bootup, then freezes. If I then
switch over to the older video card, I get video and can complete the bootup.
The older card has no video signal until after midway through the boot up.
Help!

Dude have the same problem with a Chaitrch Nvidia geForce 5200 on the AGP
bus. My problem is that the computer will boot up, I can see the desktop and
then before my Zonealarm kicks in it will freeze or 'lose dsignal' as I
recently found out the problem with a new monitor. It usually takes 3
attempts befroe the boot will go through, then the computer works fine. Then
sometimes the video card just fails and all I see are lines, rebooting
usually fixes the problem. If there are any suggestions on how to correct the
problem... hit me (e-mail address removed)......thanks!!!!!
