I have been trying use dual monitors with my Powercolor made 7500 and i have been getting no where. I mistakenly bought a radeon that only had vga and tv out no DVI. Windows XP is supposed to let you be able to use a PCI card in conjunction with your AGP card. It detects the card but will not start. Any Ideas?? Please help!

 
Both cards' VGA BIOS and OS drivers must support multi-VGA. I currently have a Radeon 7200 AGP
(PowerColor brand) and an old Matrox Mystique PCI running, in Linux/XFree 4.2.0. No problem.

I'd go check whether your old card's drivers support this properly, and if not, use a different one.

I recentley setup my first venture into Dual Monitors in WIn XP using a GF2MX 400 AGP and a old PCI card, and each card that I tried it wouldn't start. Here's what I had to do. Go into Setup, and set the Primary Display Adapter to PCI, not AGP. Now try it. That should do the trick, and then, to have Windows XP treat the Monitor on the R7500 as the main one, go into Display Properties and select the R7500 from the list, and then there's a checkbox "Use as my Primary Monitor" click that and reboot, and that should do the trick. Good luck!!!
