Under XP do both graphics cards need a monitor attaching to the card?

I have set as per Stanford's instructions, although I don't have a second monitor as I have read somewhere this is for vista setup - correct me if I am wrong

The first client starts no problem the second gives the following error message

"At present your GPU in not supported or you need a current driver. You may wish to consider running our standard client, which you can download and folding.stanford.edu."

I have the same diver for both cards (6.14.11.8120) and I have setup the shortcuts as they suggest in the guide targets for the shortcut are the same but one has -gpu 0 after it the has -gpu 1 after it and they both start in their own respective folders in the applications data (Folding@home-gpu and Folding@home-gpu2)

I can not start the second client regardless of the first client being started or not

Any Ideas why I can start the second client :confused:

*edit* mobo is ASUS P5N-E SLI. Cards are not linked with and sli connector

SLI and Physix disabled and I have reinstalled the driver for again to be on the safe side - ran from nvidia setup rather than let windows handle it

No worries sir-les-mp

I have connected the other card to the VGA of my monitor and both cards are showing as connected to a monitor

where do I use the "-forcegpu nvidia_g92" switch?
 
you dont need a second monitor with XP.You need to extend the desktop to the 2nd card to enable it for folding.to do this goto display properties click settings click the 2nd monitor and select the extend my windows desktop onto this monitor.

That'll be the problem then

Thanks - crunching now
