Multiple Parhelia drivers on one PC?

[Mikko]

Hi!

Is there a way to install multiple Parhelia drivers on one computer and then choose the driver when starting PC/Windows. I would like to have both DX8 and DX9beta drivers installed at the same time, because I have plenty of games installed witch require different drivers to run properly. Colin McRae Rally 4 is my main reason for still using DX8 drivers as it does have a lot of graphic bugs with DX9beta drivers...

I know there is one way to do this; multiple OS's and different drivers installed in each. But if you know any other way, please let me know! Maybe some sort of driver loader software?

I was thinking of it too, but now I think that Windows hardware profiles will only allow you to enable or disable certain devices. It doesn't have any options for selecting different drivers.

With the different hardware profiles, would it be possible to have a Geforce 6800 on one profile, then when I need the triple-head, I can turn off the computer, switch the cards, then just go into a profile with the Parhelia installed? Never tried to play around with the Profiles...

I think it's possible. Matrox and NVidia drivers will be installed in different folders/locations and with different names so they will not interfere with each other. I think...

Leech. Windows manages that even without the diff hardware profile.

I have my sweet parhelia, and my 9800 pro and switch depending on the need.

Good deal... that's probably what I'll end up doing... since really, for serious work, you can't beat the triple-head set up.
