Ok, here is the situation. I used to be on WinXP Pro, but decided to go to Win2k. I have a dual monitor setup, using a
Primary: Radeon 7000
Seconday: GeForce 2

I setup everything, and started Win2k, got the drivers installed. Now here is the problem. When I start up my computer, w/ the AGP/PCI startup configuration in the BIOS, the OS will begin to start fine, but no display ever comes up at all.

When I start up w/ PCI/AGP, my primary monitor drivers seem to fail, leaving me constantly in 640x480 mode, w/ 256 colors, while the secondary card works fine.

When I disable the secondary card, the display will freeze right before it logs my user in. Help?

Any thoughts are GREATLY appreciated. Right now, I am posting this in safe mode -_-
 
Ok, I've narrowed it down to being something with when the nVidia drivers start, but I dont know why. I have been able to do a dual boot w/ WinXp, and they are the exact same drivers, so it has to be something deeper. Anything that might help?
 
Alittle more info that may help somebody help me. I went and got the Windows release nVidia drivers. No luck. I got the nVidia release drivers. No luck. I have not tried older release nVidia drivers. Might this possibly work?
