Dual Card ATI Problems

I recently purchased a PCI 9200SE to complement my AGP 9500np (softmod to 9700). I needed the 9200SE to get TV Out, as my 9500 is now pushing dual flat panels and cannot support the third display. I installed the 9200 into the machine fine the first time, but it came up in windows as not fully installed (using the Windows defualt drivers). The 9500 still functioned fine with the Omega Drivers though.

Anyway, I reinstalled the Omega Drivers to get support for the 9200 and 9500, but then my computer wouldnt boot. It got through the BIOS but hung on windows startup and then rebooted itself) The only thing that worked was taking the 9200 out of the system. I then tried completely uninstalling the Omega Drivers, and using the latest official drivers from ATI. Installation went fine, but ATI CC would crash constantly. I uninstalled (using driver cleaner) and reinstalled without CC, and now I have full function on the 9500, but the same problem when the 9200SE is installed (looping reboots).

At this point all I can think of is a complete reinstall of Windows, which I'd rather not do.

Any suggestions?
 
If I understand this correctly, you want to use the dual monitoring capabilities of your AGP 9500 AND another display on the PCI 9300 SE?

If this is so, look in the ATI FAQs, this is not possible nor supported.

As far as I know, only way to get three displays up and running, is one AGP and two PCI cards in the same system.

Good luck
