Dual Monitors/vid card problems

bosstone74 · 09-07-2003, 03:36 AM

I have 2 monitors, an AGP video card and just installed a PCI video card. When I start the computer up, it uses the PCI card now when going through the boot sequence....it's like the PCI took over the AGP duties....WTF? So how do I get it so my AGP card is full controll from the begining?

AGP=Hercules prohet 64mb mx II
PCI=ATi Radeon 7000 64MB DDR

thanks

Isnt there a bio setting for that?

Yeah its something around the lines of "Primary Graphics Adapter" or something. It'll have PCI as the option just change it to AGP. Should be under the menu PNP or perhaps under another. You'd think they would default that to AGP by now.

Have you checked your manual yet? If you don't have the manual you could always check the manufacturers website and either search for your problem, or download the manual.

OR! you could post which mobo you have and make somebody else do it........??? hahaha but I'll leave that to you.
