HELP: GF3 AGP and radeon 7200 PCI wont work together

Hi,
I have a Athlon xp1600 on a SOYO 333 Ultra platinum. I am trying to get a dual monitor set up to work. I have AGP set as my primary device in bios. I am using Geforce 3 ( in AGP) with the latest drivers with a ATI radeon 7200 32mb sdr in pci slot 4 of my MOBO. I am using windows XP pro updated with the most current updates. I can use one card at a time but not both. The ATI catalyst drivers dont load when the Nvdia drivers are loaded. Same with Nvidia drivers. I can use my dual monitor config only when I use my nvidia drivers and use the default windows drivers on the radeon. This works but all windows on the radeon appear choppy when moved or scrolled. Plus this seems to slow down the system to a point that its unusable.
Does any one know how i can get this to work. I really cant afford a new graphics card now so I want to get it to work with what I have.
Thanks
 
I don't think you can get that to work together. The nvidia and ati drivers cause conflicts with each other.
 
yeah, i wouldnt expect you to get very far because of driver problems
but heres a tiny bump hoping someone can help you 🙂
 
Zinkpig, by the end of the week I should have a 64mb MX400 PCI from a current trade that I'm doing. If you like, after I finish testing out the card and it's working properly, I could make you a straight-across trade for your 7200. That might let you go dual monitor since it should eliminate any driver conflicts you may be having at the moment. Anyway, lmk if this is something you might want to do.
 
Mloot,
Thats great I really didnt want to spend any money on a new card. I would like to trade mine for your geforce if it works. I dont have any heatware but i have feedback under the same login name. please pm me when you have tested the card. I am in Salt lake city, UT.
 
Cool. I'm expecting to get the card either Thur. or Fri., and I should know next weekend if everything works ok. I'll PM you then.
