Dual monitor problem

Haven't had time to research much, but need a hand with soemthing I'm dealing with. I just added a ATI Radeon 7500 PCI card to my system so that I could do dual monitors with the ATI Radeon 8500DV All-in-Wonder that I already have, but after I have added the card DirectX and Direct3D seem to not be accelerated any more and their use is either slow or causes the system to be unstable. Everything else works fine as far as the dual monitors and settings for each, but anything requiring the use of DirectX is unbearably slow. I'm open to suggestions and will try anything that doesn't require reloading my system since I do not think the problem should require that to fix. System specs below:

Dual P3-866Mhz on MSI 694D Pro2-IR (onboard RAID and firewire)
1024MB PC133 Micron SDRAM
ATI Radeon 8500DV AIW and ATI Radeon 7500 with Catalyst 3.2 drivers
Adaptec 2940UW (BIOS Rev 2.20.00)
Kingston 10/100 PCI Card
NEC USB2 Card
Sound Blaster Audigy Value
400W PowMax powersupply in Inwin Q500A Full Tower
Yamaha 16x10x40 CD-RW
Samsung 16X DVD
Varied hard drives of SCSI and IDE
Windows 2000 Server with SP3 and ALL updates
DirectX 9.0a (reinstalled several times)

Please contact for any additional info needed.
 
Remote Desktop is disabled as it interferes with the functionality of the All-in-Wonder card. As far as disabling Direct3D and/or DirectX on a per card basis, I haven't found how it can be done since they use the same driver to make both cards function.

    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That sounds like an adventure.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    400 users all online all looking at latest content
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I wonder how all these bots that sit on the lastest content page get passed anubis or maybe they did not but they are just registering on whos online
  • The Helper The Helper:
    showing up on whos online not registration
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The first gate is stopping all the bots that don't execute javascript.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That's the main thing with Anubis - no Javascript, no site. Typically you can still get the site to load without Javascript.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I remember the whole javascript thing, question - how many real people disable that?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hell I guess I could go back on the stats to know that - we probably capture that and we know the before and after
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Real users can't really disable Javascript anymore these days.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The internet is broken without it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Bot readable, not human usable.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    got it
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Happy Thursday!
