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...

Regards,
Jerry
