I have an AGP Video Card (Intel 740 Compatible Graphics Adapter) and a PCI (S3 Trio 32/64) and I am using Windows XP.I pluged both but Windows didn't detected the second (that is the PCI).Then I set the PCI Card as Primary from the BIOS but Windows used only the second adapter (PCI) without using the AGP one.What can I do???

I'm having the identical dilemma with my S3 Virge (PCI) and SIS (AGP) situation on XP Pro. One solution I've come across on various msgboards is to go to BIOS and make sure the older PCI card loads first, then XP will automatically switch to the better AGP card as the primary monitor (or you can make the switch manually in the desktop settings). This doesn't work for me. I get the error 10 on the AGP. When I switch the bios to load the AGP first, I get the error 10 on the PCI.
