Talk:ThinkPad Dock II

I just installed a Nvidia Quadro NVS 50 PCI card in an attempt to add an additional monitor to my laptop (T41), and get 1920 x 1200 digital on my 24" widescreen. The Nvidia is not a dual monitor card, but I thought I would be able to use it as well as the laptop's existing card (ATI Mobility Radeon 7500). However the ATI card shows up in the hardware manager with the message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I then tried to enable the AGP as the primary video device in the BIOS (PCI was enabled). The on-board adapter came up, and the device manager listed no conflict, but the Nvidia would not come up as I tried to extend my desktop in display props. I got the message that I did not have admin rights to select the Nvidia, followed by messages that my drivers were not compatible with the newer version of Windows. I have never tried to use two monitors before, so I am not sure if it is feasible to have two video cards running at the same time. If this is possible, please let me know what I need to do, if it is not possible then I need to return the card and get one of your recommended ones.

TIA! Tony
