Hello,

I have a question/problem regarding installing a secondary Graphics card. I
have a NVIDIA graphics card (PCI-E) and I installed a ATI Graphics card
(PCI). Long story short I'm having trouble properly installing the drivers
for the PCI Card.

My Current BIOS setting is set to boot on my PCI-E NVIDIA Card, for I wish
to set the PCI ATI card as the secondary graphics card. However the drivers
ATI provided doesn't install (There's a INF error popping-up). So I tried to
manually install just the drivers with the device manager. Now it appears
that each time I boot-up, if I go to display settings, the ATI card shows up
fine, but if I go back to display settings a second time, I receive a error
massage saying "The currently selected graphics display driver can not be
used. It was written for a previous version of windows...". If I reboot same
thing happens, seems fine the first, but the error comes up on the second
time I go to display settings.

I have already contacted the ATI technical support, but they would not help
me resolve this issue. I believe this issue can be resolved because it is an
intermittent problem in windows (And it is not unheard of; using a PCI card
as a secondary graphics card).

If you have any information or solutions, I would be grateful.

Thank you

PS: After I click ok for the error message, in the display settings my
NVIDIA card shows up fine, but when I select the ATI card it has a resolution
of -1 x -1, no Color quality settings, and there's missing a few things in
the advance menu as well. This seems like a clear sign that the driver is the
issue here.
