Does anyone know how to get it to work in Win2k?
With WinME it was a simple matter of inserting a second video card and installing it. But in 2k it seems you need to jump through a few more hoops to get it to work. All I get is a resource conflict (Code 10). With what little I found on Google I have pretty much figured out that it isn’t as easy as WinME and isn’t as good.

Yeah.
I had the same problem. I put a old PCI S3 video card into my machine expecting it to work with 2000. After much screwing around and asking lots of people I found out that you need a video card which has a Vga disable feature. Or a video card which has win98 mutliple monitor support.
If not...
It wont work.

| yeah elsa makes a good dualhead with the nvidia geforce2 mx400 chipset, matrox makes even better ones with their own technologies. dual is the way to go, much easier than say two cards. they're usually cheap too. |

I have to have my computer boot up with my pci card or win2k won't recognise it. And when windows starts, my primary monitor and agp card boots up, and everything works nicely. It took me quite a few hours before I figured that out  I nearly gave up.
