Driver Problems with two Cards installed

I have, for some time now been running 3 screens (required for my flight sim), the primary off of an AGP FX5600, the other 2 off of a PCI 5200.  Having recently attempted to update video drivers I ran into problems in that the whist the 5600 is happy with the latest drivers the 5200 wasn't so I had to backout the update.
I assume, therefore, that my 5600 will always, as a consequence, be held back by my 5200's requirements or is there something I can do about this.
I have been thinking along the line of putting 2 cards of the same spec in but I'm confused by the DVI connectors shown with the newer cards i.e. I presently use the VGA connection on the 5600 (which also has a DVI which I do not use) and the 2 dual head VGA connectors on the 5200.  I note that most of the newer cards only have DVI connections?   
I assume that double headed DVI's means that 4 screens could be run simutaneously,     a good advantage to me but can they be converted to VGA connections.  I think my latest 19" Monitor has a DVI connector but the others don't and I cannot afford to purchase three new monitors as well as new cards.
Would appreciate any advice that could be given in my moment of confusion.   
Thanks in advance

Most cards that have DVI only on them include a DVI to VGA adapters.

If you mean on one card, no. The DVI is a single out connector. If you mean between the two cards, then yes. If your card doesn't have a DVI to VGA adapter you can find them, but none of my local stores carried them. I would have to order it online. It may be more available where you live.
Good Luck

  • Video card or driver problems with an N200, please help!

    I have a lenovo 3000 N200, it is really cool, runs even games quite well, including newer ones.
    But, is it normal to for the display driver program to freeze out in Warcraft 3? It always does that, when accessing the list of maps in the game and after 3-5 mins during an actual game. It sets the resolution down to 640X480 (from 1280X800) and in 16 color. I have to reset it in order to make it work. Also it does the same in Spore - though after having the driver written for Spore installed, ( which I downloaded from lenovo's site ) I haven't encountered that problem so far. Also Second Life shuts down - thankfully it does not freeze the drivers. I understand that the model I have is not meant for gaming but if it can run Warhammer 40k: Soulstorm at meduim graphic settings (on widescreen) without a lagg I can't understand why it wouldn't be able to handle warcraft 3 - that even an ATi m200 express can handle. I mean an X3100 from Intel must be far more powerful. (Said ATi card laggs with older games like Unreal Tournament)
    I have the latest driver - official - and a Win Xp pro Sp2. I always keep my system up to date - save for opsys but so far driver did not need sp3 - and virus clean.
    Please help me? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, Unreal Tournament 2004 runs flawlessly on max graphics - though simple Unreal Tournament laggs like hell with all possible settings - also, as I said Dawn Of War and it's expansions run well on med graphics. The Suffering Ties That Bind runs also good on highest settings - though there is a bit of degradation compared to my tabletop pc's performance. Disciples 2 ran - of course - well, there were some texture problems with it but Heroes 5 ran quite well even on higher settings (as I mentioned it sometimes blunted down the textures but not always and it ran without a lagg). Alien Versus Predator 2 ran on max graphics, and there was no trouble, save for the aliens' special vision (that white thing that looks as if inverted colors) didn't work - aka was only a black screen - and that the crosshair of the smartgun was only a blank red/green block on the middle of the screen.Oh, and Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour works on highest settings without a lagg, along with Quake 3, and Jedi knight : Academy. It even runs Perfect World on high settings and only laggs in bigger towns - but that also might be because of the tremendous bandwidth usage that occurs. Even Red Alert 3 was able to run, but I would only advise that for RA fanatics, on low settings it was playable. Also, C & C: Tiberium Wars runs better than RA 3 , if you like that it is quite playable and worth a try. As you can see I have put it to it's limits to see what it can endure. Unreal Tournament 3 ran, though was gruesomely degraded and then it gave me the blue screen of death; so I quickly uninstalled that. Other than the forementioned program I had no real problems with the card, but the existing problems are a pain in the ... well we all know how bothering it can be when one is unable to play his/her favourite game (that should really run flawlessly).
     Doesn't vista eat up too much of the system resources? A friend of mine was complaining about his n200 that vista is too slow on it and it eats up too much processor/memory.
    Also, still no new on videocard front... Asked around if anyone knows, but I am guessing that maybe even Blizzard - referring to my Warcraft problem - shows more compassion to their forums and users than Lenovo, so I'll ask around there too. 

  • Problem with my card ..

    hi ,
    i have a problem with my card , that i use it before and its fine but now itunes tells me  " Your payment methon was decline "
    and there is no none Option to choose  .
    i cant download anything now , cuz the store need to edit my payment first !!
    Any idea ?!

    If the reason you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2 is because you can't find vxiinit, the good news is that you probably are initializing your PCI-MXI-2 automatically.
    The functionality of vxiinit is now performed automatically by the driver when the system starts. This has actually been true for the last few versions starting several years ago. For a while, we continued to provide a version of vxiinit that didn't actually do anything, for compatibility with installations where legacy code required the existence of vxiinit; if you think something like that would still be useful, please describe your situation so we can consider it as a use case in future versions.
    If you are seeing some other error saying that you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2, please reply
    to this answer with further details.

  • Problem with two finger scrolling on s440

    Hello everyone
    I have a S440 (touch version) and some Problems with two finger scrolling on the touchpad.
    First, it isn't smooth, i.e.. If I move my fingers it only starts scrolling after a second or so, basically when I've already stopped (unless I move very slow). It then makes up for the lost time by scrolling very fast.
    The more serious problem (that makes it practically unusable) is that it randomly jumps back up, often to the top of the page/document, sometimes just a page or so.
    The problems are worst with firefox and acrobat, with IE and the Microsoft reader there's no response time problem but the jumping upwards still occurs.
    The problem is there with the preinstalled Windows 8 as well as my own Windows 8 Pro (with the original Lenovo drivers). Scrolling with the Trackpoint and an external mouse work fine, as well as scrolling via the touchscreen.
    Does anyone have any suggestion if/how I can fix this?

    I also have a S440 (non-touch screen), the scrolling on the touchpad worked perfectly when I bought it, no jumping, and scrolling perfectly smoothly comparable to an Mac. But after an upgrade to windows 8.1 which broke many things ( despite upgrading all drivers), I reset my thinkpad which brought it back to windows 8, everything working normally again except the two finger scrolling which is no longer smooth (moves incrementally now), and likes to jump randomly up or down the page, (not always, but enough to make it irritating. I notice this mostly with google chrome and adobe reader as these are the apps I use most frequently.
    So my questions is what drivers or settings do I need to bring the scrolling back to the configuration it was when I purchased my S440? My device manager says I'm running thinkpad ultranav with Synaptics driver version 16.6.4.38
    Cheers,
    Paul

  • MOVED: Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

  • I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

    I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10.  When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
    I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
    I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
    Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

  • Problem with two of my business rule triggers

    Good morning every one,
    I have a small problem with two of my business rule triggers.
    I have these tables:
    pms_activity
    csh_cash
    csh_integrate_leh
    csh_integrate_led
    and my process goes like this:
    upon approval of a row in my pms_activity table I have a trigger that insert a row in my csh_cash - and in the csh_cash table I have a trigger that will insert in the csh_ingerate_leh and csh_integrate_led.
    my problem is pms_activity does generate a row in csh_cash but the trigger in the cash does not fire to generate a row in the csh_integrate_leh and led tables.
    I have generated in the following order after I created my business rule:
    I have generated the table from the designer (server module tab)
    I have generated the CAPI from the head start utility
    I have generated the API from the designer
    I have generated the CAPI from the designer
    I have run the recompil.sql
    I have checked that my business rule trigger is enabled and should run on insert and no where restriction

    hmmm...
    Try resetting it again and restoring with the same backup file...
    Does the phone work properly once you've reset it before you try restoring? A lot of people here have experienced problems restoring from backups... could be worth forgetting about it and starting from scratch.
    You could try contacting your nearest Nokia Service Centre (www.nokia.com/repair) and see if they can do anything - it may need the firmware reinstalling or upgrading... possibly... give them a call though and see.

  • Problem with RSC card on sun fire v490

    Hi all,
    I have a little problem.
    I got few v490 that were already used.
    When I connect to the management port of the RSC card I get the prompt of the RSC password, somthing i don't have.
    The OS doesn't get loaded and I can't do anything. ( if I had access to the OS I would have reseted the password)
    So now, I got left with the only option i thought of.
    1. Disconnect the RSC card,
    2. This will force the output of the consol to go to the serial port(tty).
    3. Jumpstart the machine (beacuse I don't even have the password for the machine)
    4. connect the RSC card, and reset the password.
    There is someone here that encountered this problem??
    Maybe there is a jumper that can reset the RSC password. i don't know... every response will be great!
    Thanks!!!
