Should you have two entries for the Video Adapter in the device manager. I have and one is called the secondary.
Is it o1 for the VGA and the other for DVI or is this a fault. Does having both cause any problems. Thank you.

It's normal. I believe it's for ATI's recovery system.

It's for each seperate "Head" of a dual display card.

... because Windows 2000 couldn't handle two heads on one device instance. It's not needed anywhere else, but since card makers hardly ever know what their stuff is going to end up being used for, it's enabled for everyone.
