I'm trying to run my 4500 PCI in a dual monitor setup. No matter what drivers I use I keep getting Invalid Display settings when i go to my display properties, saying that the drivers were written for a previous version of windows.
I'm running winxp sp3 on an asus P5N73-AM, my primary display is the integrated video.
I've tried the included windows drivers sfft v1.5, sfft alpha 48 and the Koolsmoky drivers. I've uninstalled in safe mode, pulled board and re-inseted.
Nothing gets past that invalid settings.
The board works as I accidentaly booted to it with some wrong bios setting, but didn't let it get past initial post.
Any ideas?
make sure to set your BIOS to boot from pci vga first.what is your primary card,btw?
My primary card is the integrated GeForce 7050. I have the bios set to boot from the integrated rather then the voodoo as I only need to use it as a secondary card.
you should try booting from the pci,you will not see the post screen but it shouldn't affect you windows functionality.
Well, I want to avoid that as I use Linux on this machine as well as Windows and having the Voodoo 4 monitor as my console screen would be a bit annoying.
But I did try it just to get it working as a temporary solution. I booted fine, windows loaded, however, it did not see my onboard video, just the voodoo4.
When I rebooted back with the integrated as primary, the same problem happened again.
I'm hoping to avoid re-installing windows as that's a pain I want to avoid. That and the problem could happen again.
Any further ideas?
no,not really.integrated cards are dodgy sometimes,maybe it just won't work that way..
