I need some HELP... quickly... about to explode

Well, my PCI GF2MX (Creative) came today from a guy that got banned from here a while ago.

so i install it, and give it the same drivers as my gf3, the 21.85's... and now when i move the mouse over to the other monitor, sometimes it will hard lock the computer... something that NEVER happened with my Matrox Millenium.

wtf can i do?... right now i have the 2nd monitor disabled so i can use the computer...

is this a driver issue, could it be something physically wrong with the card?

anyway, im on a kt133a, gf3, gf2mx... anything else you need, just ask, so you can help me.
 
Definetly a driver issue.
those pci gf2's dont play nicely in multimonitor setups

and if its "HELP" you need, you should have posted in "Technical Support" 😛
 
okay, got me there... i wont do that again.

but what drivers can i use to make this work... it has to work, i mean, they're both nvidia cards, unified driver architechture... from my viewpoint... there SHOULDNT be any issues.
 


<< okay, got me there... i wont do that again. >>


good to hear



<< there SHOULDNT be any issues. >>


:-]

try looking thru the database here, theyre a great resource for multimontior setups
 
btw, does the PCI slot its in have any bearing on the problem... its in slot 5, but thats where the old card came out...

slot 2 is blocked my my modded gf3, but i guess i could do slot3, allthough i like having the space around the gf3 all clear
 
any way to assign IRQs in XP, cause its sharing an irq(7) with my gf3, sblive, NIC, TV tuner, RAID controller, and USB controller... yeah...
 
The reason all those devices are on the same IRQ is because of ACPI. You gotta disable that bad boy. I've had nothing but prolems with it and always disable it when I rebuild. I know I've seen the info on how to do that here in an AT thread, but I can't find it right now. Here's a Usenet discussion detailing how to disable it and get your devices their own IRQ's:
