I just got aonther 22inch CRT monitor because i want to have dual monitors. So i leave my older one plugged in into the FX5200. Then i plug in my 1998 era Riva TNT into a pci slot and when i turn on the computer only the agp monitor has picture. my computer tries to install the riva tnt gfx card but cant find any drivers. when i right click my desktop and select properties then settings tabs it only displays my AGP card so i cant activate my second monitor. Any one have drivers for the TNT for xp? I would think xp would have native drivers for it since its very old but i guess not.

I am not sure if you can run multiple graphics drivers under xp. I have an older Geforce256 and it cant use the later 77+ driver set, but runs on 72.xx. You could try to roll your driver set back to that for your 5200 as well and see how it works.
