2nd GFX card refusing to work in Vista B2 x86??

[Pinter75]

Howdy,

I am having trouble getting my 2nd graphics card (Nvidia FX5500 256MB Pci) to install in Vista B2 32bit.

The latest Vista drivers from Nvida install but when vista gets round to trying to use the card it complains that the display adapter is incompatable with the driver?

Nvidia say that the FX5500 is vista ready.

My ati X700 works fine driving my dual monitors, so why does the Nvidia refuse to work - I need my 3rd monitor

Anyone have anything similar problems? Works fine in XP.

ta.

Ahh the joys of using a beta OS

It may be old, but all it does is render outlook all day long.

It is a Vista Ready GPU (http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html )- and I understand that the OS is still in beta, but I am trying to work out why the driver won't work in a multiple monitor environment.

i cant see 2 different gfx card makers running on one board.
