long story short, i had to replace my mainboard. the mainboard is a msi KT4AV with a Via KT400A chipset. i run 3 displays on 2 cards. a Radeon 9700 pro and a nvidia geforce mx 200. i cannot set the agp speed in the bios. when i try to run a game i get an error saying to make shure that direct x is installed. after running directx diagnostic tool all of the direct x features on under the display 2 and display3 tab are not avaiable. after doing some research i think that i should update the 4 in 1 drivers so i did, but it still didnt help anything. any help would be appreicated.

windows wp home 5.1 build 2600
bios version 07.00t
AMD athlon 1.4 GHz
512 ram
directx 9.0b(4.09.0000.0902)

via 4 in 1 version 4.51

nvidia driver nv4_disp.dll
6.14.0010.5216

ati driver ati2dvag.dll
6.14.0010.6451

p.s everything worked with my old mainboard an asus a7a266. and i reformated my one hard drive and installed a fresh copy of windows when i changed boards.

I get the same error message when ever I try to run games with both of my monitors enabled. I just disable the secondary one. Try disabling one or more of your other monitors so you can at least play until someone is more helpful than me.
