Driver Problem?
Hi There
Ive just installed a PCI 5200 GeForce card in my machine alongside a Radeon 9800 in the AGP slot. Ive installed the latest Nvidia drivers but when I go to the display control panel I get an 'Invalid Display Settings' dialog appear with the error message: "The currently selected graphics display driver can not be used. It was written for a previous version of Windows, and is no longer compatible with this version of Windows." This is with the latest XP drivers from Nvidias site on an XP system with all the latest service packs and security updates. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong?

I thought Radeon 9800 series had mutimonitor support, this being the case
why the second card? "Jasper" wrote in message ... Hi There Ive just installed a PCI 5200 GeForce card in my machine alongside a Radeon 9800 in the AGP slot.

You have both ATI and NVidia drivers and cards installed on the same
machine. They are known to conflict with each other. Return the 5200 card and get an ATI 2nd card. -- DaveW "Jasper" wrote in message ...

The card seems to work the device manager says so, and I cant understand why
if it was a card conflict the error message would be wrong version of windows and not a conflict error. I have had the same cards working before fine on another XP box as well.
