Okay heres the thing, I found an older video card that WinXP supports, its a Trident 9440 PCI, Well I thought I would stick it in my 1.5ghz Athlon System and use dual monitors since I have an extra monitor. Well, I put it in the slots below the AGP, Well I got an error after install from XP under device manager that says "CODE 10 Device was unable to start."
Well I remembered that on some motherboards teh first PCI slot is shared with the AGP slot...
So I moved it down....Well....Same thing upon install of the card.
SO I loved it down below my modem cause its in the next PCI slot down. I got a message from my Asus A7V-133 saying the card was shareing IRQ with Promise raid control, be sure its supports shareing IRqs, well thought what the heck and hit F1 to continue, well SAME THING in , "CODE 10 device Unable to start"

So Now its in the very last PCI slot and same thing...Im confused...Why will nit not start?
I uninstalled it before I shutdown my comp and moved it to another PCI slot everytime...

Will this card not work with my ATI Radeon 7200?

I have that very same ol Trident!


Seems that I couldn't get my rig to be stable with it as the primary (when my Video card was arriving) or as a seocnd card.

Newer machines don't seem to like older parts, PCI latency's could be causing the problem though (to fast) so try raising the number within the BIOS but its a longshot.

But I thought your Ati had dual monitor support?

Hmm...Ill have to try a lower FSB later,
The ATi Radeon 7200 only has one VGA port...

I think you need to set the computer's bios to PCI,AGP rather than AGP,PCI. I read that somewhere on a site that talked about dual monitor support.
