I upgraded to vista ultimate last night. Everything went well beside my graphic card seem to have an incompatibility issue. This is the card which host my secondary display, so its not a major issue, but i want it fixed.
This is what i get when the desktop opens:
Code43errormsgonstartup.jpg


Under device manager it tells me that there is a compatibility issue with the vga driver and the software (error code 43).
I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the driver for vista 32 bit but i still get the same error message. Even with the windows update it tries to install the correct driver, but i still get that incompatibility message.
What can i do? Or should i go ahead and box that card and send it back in???
Mind you i upgraded from xp MCE, everything went fine beside this, and yes i did use the driver for vista after i saw the initial problem but still no luck..
Also my specs:
Hp pavilion a1320n
pentium d 820 proc. 2.8ghz
2.5gb ram

OS currently running is vista ultimate..
 
oh btw, i was up til like 1:30 last night tryin to search for the cure for this but still no luck.. My next option is to take it back and exchange for a new one or a nvidia
 
MultiMonitor Support and Windows Vista

If multiple graphics adapters are present in a system, all of them must use the same WDDM driver. If there are two graphics adapters with WDDM drivers from two different manufacturers, then Windows will disable one of them. The VGA adapter will be enabled, and the second device will be disabled.

Notice that XPDM drivers still support heterogeneous multi-adapter as they did in Windows XP. A user who has such a configuration working fine in Windows XP will encounter a problem when upgrading to Windows Vista. An external monitor connected to one of the graphics adapters will have no video signal, because it is disabled. An error message will appear on system boot, as described later in this article.

This basically means you can't use one nVidia card and one AMD card simultaneously under Vista, but you may also be unable to use GeForce cards from different series together since nVidia pushes different driver versions for each generation.
 
yup problem solved. I just bought a dvi cable from best buy for $19, connected my second monitor, disabled my on board video card in bios and everything went well. thx
