Built-in Display Adapter gets Disabled

Whenever I hook up the MSI ATI RADEON RX1550 TD128EH card I turn on my computer and my old Display Adapter is disabled and disappears from my Device Manager completely. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit on a new Compaq Desktop with a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 chipset with integrated graphics. I want to use dual monitors by utilizing both the stock adapter and my new graphics card. If I turn off my computer, take out the MIS graphics card, restart, everything goes back to normal and works completely fine. It probably wan't smart but I plugged in the graphics card while it was on to see if it made any difference it didn't and the card still works. I have proper drivers for both Adapters and they both work independently from eachother just the built-in one disappears when I plug the new one in. Searching for new hardware, re-installing drivers, none of that helps.

You should be running the same make video card, because the same driver runs both of them.
Here is Microsofts take on this subject.

Is there windows 7 64 bit drivers for my msi video card modle # RX1550-TD256E

Just google " rx1550-td256e drivers"
you can find your drivers that way. i have NVIDIA which has a feature to scan my hardware for the specific device and show me which driver i need (of course i have a software that keeps those drivers up-to-date). i dont know if your video card manufacturer provides this kind of service

Once i connect my gt5662 to a monitor nothing is on the screen, i know the monitor is in fine condition, i realize the graphics card it came with has 2 different slots, should i buy an adapter an hook the...

Did the computer boot to a monitor before? Is this a new monitor for this computer? The GT5662 came with an ATI Radeon HD2400 PCI-e video card. There is also an onboard VGA port on the back of the computer. The VGA port should be disabled. The ATI Radeon HD2400 PCI-e video card comes with two DVI connectors. With the back of the computer facing you, you would use the one on the right. You would have to have an DVI to VGA adapter to use them unless your monitor has a DVI connector also. Hope this helps. This is what the VGA and DVI connectors look like. _498.jpgmoz-screenshot.png

I have a Dell Vostro 400 and two video cards. Only one card will work and it is an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200.The other one is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO. These are the specs from the two graphics cards:...

you cant join two different platform vga cards. simply because they have their own platform and have separate drivers, so they conflict each other thus causing one of them shut off or disable..

Radeon X1300 - Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems

As far as I am aware, you can not run an ATI card in the same system as an Nvidia card due to driver conflicts.

Display blanks after installing drivers

Try the final AMD Display Driver (version 8.31) downloaded directly from AMD for the Radeon 9250 series running in XP. It will be several years more recent than any provided in Windows XP (by Microsoft), and may just fix your problem. The fact something causes XP to identify your Radeon 9250 as a 9200 Pro shows that something is not right. You might also want to launch Device Manager, use the option to show hidden devices, and delete any "ghost" video cards. I suspect a 9200 Pro may be a ghost, which could be causing problems.
