Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Problem when setting primary to AGP

OS=WinXP - I've got 2 cards: Radeon 7500 - AGP and a 3D Rage IIC - PCI. When i set the bios to use PCI as the primary adapter everything works fine. When i change it to AGP the PCI card doesn't work, in the system panel it simply has the famed yellow exclamation over it indicating a problem. I've tried re-installing the driver for the card and re-seating it in different slots, to no avail. Anyone know what might be wrong here?? thanks.

There's nothing wrong, that's jsut the way its supposed to work. On WinXP/2000 you *HAVE* to set the PCI as primary in BIOS for certain adapters. (read: almost any adapter older than year.)
