Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Nvidia Geforce 256 & TNT Probs

If anyone could help me I guess I'll find him (her?) here!

As an AGP card I use a Geforce 256 (DFIboard, 384 MB Ram, K6/2-500, Win2k,
Detonator XP 23.11), which works quite satisfying. BUT I tried to install my
old TNT PCI-Card as second graphic device and when I activate the second
screen in Win2k-display settings it takes 10-30 secs to freeze up the
system.

I tried driver up-/downgrade (21.81, 14.70), but either it won't recognize
the second card or freezes. As usual with Win2k, all the cards (incl. sound
and nic) share one IRQ which should not be the problem (well, if this is it
(which I don't believe), I have to accept it and sell the TNT ;)). I also
tried a TNT AGP card, but the system freezes even if this is the only
videocard.

So my conclusion is that the new DetonatorXP can't handle the TNT and the
old Detonator 3 that handles the TNT the right way does not support
multi-screen with Win2k.

Is there something I haven't tried? I recently got 27.something, will this
work?

Help!
