Triple Monitor, Dual Video Card Vista Problem.

I just built a new system and planned to run 3 monitors like I did on my previous system but it does not work. Previously in XP I ran an ATI all in wonder in the agp slot and a second PCI video card for my third monitor.

I bought an Abit ip35 pro that has a pcie 16x slot and another large pcie slot. I set my main video card, nvidia 8800gtx, in the first pcie slot and my second card, ati 1650, in the second slot. I was able to install the drivers for the 8800gtx but when I install the drivers for the 1650, it says they are improper drivers and the device cannot start. I tried using the "standard VGA Graphics Adapter" but that give me a 'This Device cannot start' Error. I tried running the 1650 in the first PCIE slot and the second PCIE slot alone, and it worked, but when I try to run it as a second video card, in the second pcie slot, I cannot get it to start!
 
Anyone have any suggestions?
