More info, was Re: HELP! Still can't get rid of "Code 10" error on two video cards

I just discovered that the AGP card, an ATI 3D RAGE PRO AGP 2X (one of the two which gets Code 10 -- the other is the onboard card) is listed as using PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0. Is this bad (an AGP card using a PCI bus)?

For the problem below, I tried Harry Boyne's (second) suggested solution: "Try using the 99SE CD as a boot disk". Result: All that the disk does is give me the error message "Can't run under this version of XP. Run in MS-DOS". But in MS-DOS all the disk does is try to re-install itself.

I also tried "engine code y"'s solution: "Disable the onboard video in the BIOS setup." But my BIOS setup doesn't include any screen that enables/disables onboard video.

Any other suggestions? They will be gratefully accepted and tried. Thanks.

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.
