Question 2 video cards

I have a radeon 7200 PCI , and an All in wonder Radeon 9000 AGP in my computer (just added the older PCI card).

Is there a way I can have both of these cards running at the same time, going to seperate monitors?

They both have drivers, but when the computer starts, it defaults to the PCI card and the AGP card doesn't start up.

Please help.

I believe by making it dual monitors, you actually went to settings and made that happen. Otherwise, I believe CtrlPnl-->Display-->Settings and that should give you something.

Hope that helps,

No, you cannot extend or clone the taskbar onto the second monitor using Windows dual display settings.
