XP can't find 2nd monitor after upgrading from 98SE

Just upgraded from 98SE to XP (system not powerful enough to run Vista). In 98SE, had two monitors. Motherboard has built-in video, plus I added 2 video cards to support the 2 monitors I have (once AGP, one PCI). In 98SE, in Device Manager, had to disable (or uninstall, can't remember which) the onboard video to get the 2 added cards to be recognized and to get one of them to be the primary video.
In XP, one added card is recognized, and functions as primary video. But onboard video and other added card both show "cannot start (code 10)". If I uninstall the onboard card, then every time I start up, the Find New Hardware reinstalls it. If I merely disable it, the other card still shows "can't start (error 10)". (I don't know if the other card shows "can't start" when I uninstall the onboard card, since XP won't leave it uninstalled to find out.)
Have tried everything Troubleshooter recommends: Uninstall and reinstall (as mentioned above anyway), reseating the cards (and, anyway, one of the "cards" is onboard, so it doesn't need to be reseated), looking for new drivers. (XP finds the drivers, so it can't be that one of the cards is no longer supported.)
Suggestions? Thanks.
