Well i have connect two monitors up with a Geforce FX 5500 and a 3D
Rage II + PCI card.
I wanted to make it balanced out so i brought another monitor up and
hooked it all up.
I installed a third Card into a pci slot.
It is a 3D Rage IIC PCI card.
Yet it will not start the monitor and says in device manager that "it
cannot start"
which i have had that problem before installing the second one.
So i went to bios before and changed the prim. Video card.
So i went back to bios and changed it back to agp but still nothing..
Other then my second monitor not working.
The monitor works fine because i connected it to the agp card.

I am running windows XP
with..
-Jabil BX Motherboard R2
-HDD=80G
-Bios Updated to final release
--Phioneix Bios
-PII 400mhz cpu
-320MB SDRAM


cybervision c50=prim. monitor
trinitron= sec. monitor
gateway EV700 =third monitor

I've been searching for an awnser for almost 2 months now any help
other then saying i need to buy _____ is much appriciated

The motherboard or the BIOS might not support two video boards.

There might be a resource conflict between the slot the PCI video board is
in and another slot.

Can you get the PCI video board to work by itself?
