In device manager it sometimes picks up my graphics card and lists them as Radeon 9250 and Radeon 9250 secondary. lists both things under display adapters bar.
in device status in radeon 9250 secondary it says :
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
as of this moment it isnt showing my radeon 9250 (im guessing the primary one)
hope this info helps in finding a solution.
