I am using two display adaptors on my pc (Windows Vista)

1) Intel(R)82915G/GV/910GL Express chipset family and 2) Nvidia geforce 7300
GT.
But windows has disabled "intel(R) 82915/G/GV/910GL" adapter and it is
giving an Error "code 43",
I have searched support.microsoft.com and found the KB310123
wherre i found the description of Code 43 and one troubleshooting also.
which is

Description: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the
operating system that the device failed in some manner. For more information
about how to diagnose the problem, see the hardware documentation.

Troubleshooting: On the General Properties tab of the device, click
Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.

But of no help,

cant i use 2 graphics adapter on vista, or is it a problem with the graphic
card or with the OS?

Please help me

Thanks in Advanced,

Khan
 
Does the use of a graphics adaptor in a PCI express slot disable an onboard
video adaptor? I know that use of an AGP video card did.

According to
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/multimonVista.mspx this
configuration likely will not work without special precautions.

Specifically, read the "Multimonitor Support in WDDM" section,

| If there are two graphics adapters with WDDM drivers from two
| different manufacturers, then Windows will disable one of them.
| The VGA adapter will be enabled, and the second device will be disabled.

There is a workaround, which *might* work, depending on your
configuration, but it's not pretty :)
 
Thank you for the link, i will go through the information.

Thanks
Happy New Year to All.
