I am currently running a NVidia GeForce 8600 GT video card which is being used for my dual monitor setup. I recently came accross a TV with an S Video input and would like to add that to my set up. I have a GeForce FX5200 that I would like to use to run atleast one of my monitors/TV but can't seem to get them to work together. When I install the FX 5200 Vista uses that as the default card and gives an error message about not being able to load drivers for the 8600. I've tried to several different combinations of installs and driver updates but no luck. If it helps the 8600 is PCI express and 5200 is PCI and I'm running Windows Vista
.

ANY IDEAS!?!?!

FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!! for anyone out there trying to do the same thing. If you have two NVidia graphic cards there is a website laptopvideo2go.com that has drivers that work for pretty much all nvidia cards. So if you go in and install one of those it will work for both cards and Vista will allow them both to run! Hope this helps someone
