Matrox G400 + Mystique 220 = NO GO!..... Help!

I have a G400 (AGP) card, and a friend lent me his Mystigue 220/RainbowRunner card(s)(PCI) to try video capture. I had hoped that I could install both and just connect my monitor to the Mystique when I wanted to do the video in/out stuff. But no!.... I am getting an error message in device manager stating that the "display drive will not work with multiple display support..." Is removing the G400 card the only solution? I tried the latest driver for the Mystique from the Matrox site. I am running Win98SE and my M/B=BH6 🙁
 
The drivers for the Mystique may not support multi-card setups. There are many older cards that can't do it simply because the drivers don't support it.

You may be able to do it by disabling whichever card you don't want to use at a time in Device Manager, then enabling the one you do want to use.

So if you want to do your normal work, in Device Manager you check the "Disabled in this profile" box for the Mystique, and uncheck it for the G400. When you want to use the Mystique, reverse the check/uncheck and reboot, and the Mystique will become the used video card. However in your BIOS you will also need to change whether the motherboard treats the AGP card or the PCI card as the primary display. Whichever one you plan on using during that bootup needs to be the one set as Primary in the BIOS. The other one won't be enabled until Windows starts the drivers, and since you've got the secondary card disabled in Windows, it won't attempt to load it.
