Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Need help installing Detonator driver for 2nd card under XP

I have a Windows 2000/XP system, and I'm unable to successfully add a TwinView card. (I am moving from Win2K to XP in order to use nVidia's new Detonator support for TwinHead.)

My primary AGP card (MSI Starforce GF2 Pro) works fine with the Detonator 2.3.1.1 driver.

The secondary TwinView card (Inno3D Tornado GF2 MX400), however, just doesn't seem to load after installation. In any PCI slot I try, Device Manager inevitably reports "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

The default Microsoft MX driver worked at first, but I am wanting to get *both* heads working on the secondary card so I can complete my 3-monitor setup.

Any suggestions?

Er, never mind, I think I've sussed it.

The setup works if I change my BIOS-primary adapter from AGP to PCI, then let XP reassign the primary monitor back to the AGP adapter once it's loaded.

A quirky requirement -- esp. since I'm running my TwinView displays pivoted, so my boot messages are now at 90° -- but I suppose it will do.
