Driver problem on triple monitor setup

[nick.grudzien]

I have an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 PCI graphics card and am using it in
tandem with an ATI Radeon X1600 series AGP graphics card to run 3
monitors. I am getting an error that is related to the drivers that
says "this driver is for an older version of windows, please update
your drivers".

However, I am using the most current drivers for both graphics cards. I
have NVIDIA driver build 6.14.10.9371 dated 10/22/2006 and I have ATI
driver (catalyst 6.10) build 8.301.0.0 dated 9/26/2006 and there is
nothing more current.

Further, I have spent hours troubleshooting this issue and I am able to
get all 3 monitors working fine by doing the following:

uninstall both drivers, reinstall NVIDIA PCI driver FIRST. then
reinstall ATI AGP driver and then all three work fine. As soon as the
system reboots the conflict arises again. it seems ludicrous that I can
get this working but a reboot kills it.

The ATI is running two monitors one via digital and one via analog. The
nvidia is running one monitor via analog. please HELP!

Does it make any difference if you change your BIOS settings to initialize
the PCI card first, instead of the AGP card?

And when it all goes wrong are any conflicts shown in these devices?

 

[nick.grudzien]

there are no conflicts shown for these devices in the microsoft system
screen, however in the monitor setup screen the pixel choices for the
NVIDA monitor are -1 to 1.

I spent some time in the BIOS utility but did not see that it was
possible to change the orer the graphics drivers were initialized.

I meant in HW Devices, then Properties > Resources for the individual
devices

 

[stoxtrader]

unfortunately, no conflicts there either.

Distant hope: try pci card in another slot
or maybe look here http://realtimesoft.com/multimon/db.asp
Sometimes vid adapters dont play well together
