Ok, help on video cards if anyone has the time.
Just purchased (2) two ATI Xtasy 9200 cards, one agp and one pci.
The Tech (and I use the term Litely) @ Comp USA said the set up was very easy and windows XP would take care of everything. So he popped them in and said just run the software and it'll guide me thru real easy and configuration would be done thru windows.

1st: I now need (2) DVI to VGA adapters for my third and fourth monitors, (because the 2nd input slot on ea. card isnt for standard monitor connection)he told me this upon purchase but didnt have them in the store. He rec'd radio shack, but no such luck on the adapters there or anywhere else. Is this common and/or ANY One else have this similar problem??? I will be ordering them online but its gonna take a few days which I'm not too happpy about.

2nd: Everytime I startup, I get a message that says "ATI control panel encountered an error and can not remain open, or something to that effect. Its working OK between 2 monitors right now but I just dont like that message, and dont have any access to any so called "ATI control panel". I just tweeked it around using the display properties/settings option, Is this right ???

So if anyone has had a similar situation and has any advice it would be appreciated.
