RE: Multiple Display Adapters - Cannot get 2nd to work.. I have the same issue, The Cards I am using are the ATI x600 PICe and an ATI
FireMV PCI, it appears that the both cards work independantly (with the
correct driver installed), but when you try and enable both cards together
you get the very helpful "Windows has stopped this device because it has
reported problems. (Code 43)" with no additional information, It does not
matter which card is first, (i.e disabling one then the other) Is there a way
to get this to work? I hate the thought of going backwards, even thought in
this case going backwards is definitly going forward!
