Default 3 screens problem (1x 9200 SE PCI & 1x 9800 Pro AGP)

Hi,

I've had a fun night trying to figure out how they've broken multi-adapter
mutli-screen support in Vista.

In XP, just installing the drivers is enough for all 4 screens to appear in
the display properties ready to be enabled.

From the start, the 9800 (the VGA card) was picked up fine, and the 9200
could not start thanks to Code 43 (very useful!)

I managed to find the page about how multi screens have changed (great,
thanks for doing that guys!) and it gives me two suggestions... Use the old
(WDDM is it?) drivers or buy a new graphics card(s)! Really useful.

I managed to force Vista to accept the XP drivers (theres two different ones
for those two cards) for each card and they installed OK. I restarted and now
I just get stuck in a constant bluescreen. Safe mode works but I've given up
now unless someone else can provide some help.

Am I going to lose Aero? Methinks if Aero won't work I'll give up. My 9800
is on the way out, and I don't want to replace both cards just to get Aero.

Thanks for your help.

Well, I don't think the 9200 does support Aero, so i'm gonna give up.
I can't find any PCI cards better than the 9200, so I'd need a PCI-express,
so I'd need a new CPU, Mobo, RAM, Graphics cards (and co-incedently, hard
disks as I have two IDE and most new mobos only have IDE for SATA.)

So looks like this is the end of Vista for me.
