ATi Nvidia

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have the Ati 8500 AIW as my main video card. I just installed an NVIDIA
card for second monitor capabilities. Everything works well however, when I
start my ATI TV tuner, it now says the driver is not correct, that the
NVIDIA adapter is the main driver associated with the ATI TV tuner program.

Does anybody know how I can change it back so that the ATI TV tuner will see
the ati driver as the main driver?

Thanks, James.

Unless things have changed, ATI and NVidia on the same motherboard do *not*
play well. You'll see all kinds of weird things start to happen.

Best suggestion is to replace either the ATI card with an NVidia card or
vice versa. Last time I tried mixing the two I thought I had a bad ATI card
since I added an ATI PCI card behind and NVidia card.

Just to settle it, I removed the NVIDIA card and the system is working fine.
I will have to change to the new pci ATI radeon card.
