Adding alternative video card to LD Pro?

[Mark Hill_4]

I have stuck in a Matrox Mill II, and It is being picked up by win2k.

But

I cannot seem to get the card to be the primary display, I have disabled the on-board in the bios and in win2k, but still nothing. I need to get more than 16 colours on this box, some of the software I want to run wont even install without 256!

Any help gratefully received!

TIA

Oh, in the device properties i get the msg 'This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use'

but there are also no conflicts shown? and no nasty red crosses through the other resources, its on IRQ15

TIA

hi
have you tried to go in the bios with ECU, under view modifie detail, see how is recognize the video card and the exit and save config?
this may solve

Separate from configuration settings via ECU there is also a video disable (dip) switch that needs to be set in order to use an alternative video card correctly. It's switch 8. It disables the on-board video. (Pull the casing off the machine and on the mother board side of the machine you should be able to see the 8 pole switch. It maybe white in colour. Toggle it.)

Good Luck,
