SSzyszka 0 Posted October 18, 2001 I originally had a triple-monitor setup with a G450 31MB DualHead AGP and a Voodoo5 PCI. I now want to run one monitor with the Voodoo5. The AGP card was the primary card. I pull out the G450 and switch the bios to PCI as the primary adapter, and the system just hangs at the point where the Win2K startup graph would show up. Windows will only recognize the AGP card as the primary. How can I change it to PCI? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post
FrogMaster 0 Posted October 18, 2001 I guess Win2k is still looking for the previous primary display. I see two solutions: 1 - put back any agp vid card in slot to boot windows in vga then choose the Voodoo as primary by messing around the screens 1 and 2 icons in display properties, reboot to have the Voodoo as primary. 2 - boot in safe mode. I guess it will boot the pci card if only video card in the system (and set as pci boot first in bios). I use to mess a lot on my dual-display box (see specs). Sometimes Win2k seems to want to stick to one of them Share this post Link to post
