Here's the story, I have two 20" LCD's connected to one Radeon 9700 AGP, one DVI and one VGA. Works great. I just bought a second Radeon, a 9250 PCI, so I can connect lcd#2 to it through DVI.

Windows detected the new card and see's it. In device manager I see the two cards, both working properly. But in the display properties area of Control Panel it shows the card still connected to port two of AGP card #1. How do I tell it that it is no longer there? Is there any special magic I should need to do to get this going?

Thanks for any help!

Guys, sorry for the early post. I did a reboot (as windows sometimes likes :) ) and sure enough it could see my DVI connected monitor on the second video card. I have to say my monitor looked pretty good on VGA, but it is quite a bit sharper on DVI. Colors are more accurate too.
