FS won't accept AGP over PCI Graphics

Hello Fellow Aviators

I currently have a S3Trio 4Mb PCI Graphics card running my second monitor with XP Pro.

I also have a nVidia TNT 64Pro 32Mb on AGP running as my Primary Display.

The problem is,

The only way I can have both monitors running is to set PCI to boot from inside the BIOS.
When I do this, FS2002 nor fs9 fails register the 32Mb card as my primary Graphics Card.

With out the 32Mb, I'm limited in the simulator to minimal display settings.

I know 32Mb isn't much, but I'm not in a financial situation to lash out and buy a good card.

Does some one know what I need to do to get fs9 to register the AGP card over the defualt PCI ???

I've tried setting the TNT 64 as primary in Control Panel under settings, and this works for the monitors, but I can't get anything out of the simulator.

If anyone can help I would be most appreciative.

Thanking you in advance

SV2003

Let's see if I got this right...

If you set your BIOS to AGP/PCI the second monitor does not work. But FS works.

If set to PCI/AGP, both monitors work, but FS displays are backwards?

A lot of software allows you to choose the display adapter, I'm not sure how FS chooses it offhand.

Suffice to say that you should probly disable the PCI and boot with the AGP as the primary for FS9..... Your system spec is so limited, it's not going to display 1 monitor properly in FS, let alone two.

I bet you could get a lot better video card(s) at the refuse center nearest you!
