Nick, Are you trying to do this with a single monitor? The multi monitor feature is setup for just that, more than one monitor. You can enable your secondary card by going to right-clicking on your desktop, then go to the settings tab and pick the secondary card and check the box that says "Extend my Windows Desktop to this monitor". I believe that you have to have the ATI AIW as the primary to use the TV Tuner function. The next item is pure speculation and I don' t know if it will work. If you drag the icon to initialize your game to the second monitor (extended) and double click it, it will run on that monitor using your secondary card (i.e., the TNT card). Someone please correct me if this is incorrect. Again, I don't know if this is true... However, if you are setting these up with only one monitor, then you will have to switch back and forth (disable/enable each time or set up two hardware configs so you can choose one when you boot) in order to do what you want... I'm thinking about doing this since I have an old 14" SVGA monitor sitting around and a spare Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (using ATI AIW Pro 8MB AGP right now) for my secondary adapter so I can have the multiple displays while I'm working on stuff. Someday...
