| Installation Issues with secondary Graphics Card. 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. |
