First, thanks to those who've helped me through previous problems with my new system. I'm slowly working all the kinks out, and minus the CPU that's on its way back to California, everything is playing nicely.

But I have run into one quirk compared to my old setup. I am running an Abit NF7-S rev2.0 with two video cards under Win2K. The AGP card is a Matrox Millenium G400 DualHead Max, and the PCI card is a Matrox Mystique. I also have a Matrox Rainbow Runner video capture card that I use in conjunction with the G400.

Anyway, the problem I'm having is that the older Mystique card shows up as Adapter #1, and the newer G400 card shows up as Adapter #2 (in the Video Properties screen where you select the monitor position, etc.) I can set #2 (the G400) to be the primary, but my video capture card wants the G400 to be Display #1, regardless of whether it's the primary or not.

I've tried to Google my way into some way to change the order around (so that #1 is the G400 and #2 is the Mystique) but I haven't found anything. The thing is, on my KT7-RAID, the cards were numbered properly, and everything worked fine.

The workaround I've come up with is to disable the Mystique when I do video capturing, but this is definitely not ideal. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the video drivers, but whenever I reboot, the Mystique reverts to being #1.

So does anyone know what causes a particular display adaptor to become #1 versus #2? I'm not talking about which one is primary (which can be set by the user,) rather, which display gets assigned the #1 versus the #2. I can't seem to find any way to make the AGP card be the #1 card in my system, and that just doesn't seem right.

Thanks.
