Windows update Vista does NOT "see" my 2 video cards only the 7800

[Emile]

UHello,
I start with Vista (dual boot). I have NO problems with XP. In Vista when I
activate Windows update I receive an update for my AGP 7800 GS video card.
When I apply this driver update I cannot use my 2nd video card anymore (FX
5200) . the video card is no more activated .
What must I do to solve the problem.
FYI at the initial load of Vista with the default installation my 2 video
cards are active and visible.

Even with Windows Vista - I still say you should always get your hardware
device drivers straight from those who actually manufactured said hardware
and not the Windows/Microsoft Update site...

In other words - get the driver(s) from NVidia... Install it(them) - see
what happens.
