Re: Video cards give Code 10 error

Check your mobo manual for how to disable the onboard, this could be via a
bios setting or mobo jumper.
It can be problomatic trying to get an AGP & PCI vid card to work on a win
nt based sys.
Have you installed mobo chipset & other hw drivers from manu sites and NOT
winupdate or default win drivers?

I finally upgraded from 98SE to XP Home. I have dual monitors and three
video cards -- an onboard card (which, in 98SE, I had to disable in
order to get one of the added cards to be recognized as the primary
monitor), an added PCI card, and an added AGP card.

The moment I finished installing XP, the 2nd monitor no longer worked.
I discovered that the onboard card and the added AGP cards had Code 10
(cannot start) errors in Device Manager. Also, the AGP card is listed
as using a PCI bus. (I don't know if that's bad.)

If I try uninstalling the onboard card in Device Manager (which I think
I had to do in 98SE), every time I reboot it gets reinstalled.

I tried all the steps given by Troubleshooter (install and reinstall in
Device Mgr; physically reseat; find new driver) with no success.

A user in another group suggested seeing if the devices still worked in
98SE by using the 98SE disk as a boot disk. But all the 98SE disk wants
to do is reinstall itself.

Another user suggested disabling th onboard video card in BIOS setup.
But my BIOS setup doesn't include a screen for enabling/disabling
onboard video.

Suggestions? Thanks.
