Can't get three monitors to work in XP

I have two video adapters: * Matrox G450 Dual Header (for 2 monitors) * S3 ViRGE (for one more) I can get the two monitors using the Matrox card to work, but in the device manager the S3 ViRGE card has a yellow question mark on it and it says, "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Does anyone know if this card is perhaps not supported anymore?? (for like win2000 & NT)??
Any suggestions on why I can't get the third monitor working would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
P.S. It is posible to use 3 monitors in windows, its actualy possible to use as many as you have video cards...

Okay Kury, let's make a deal forget about those three monitors and use one instead with three computers(cases) maybe you can make it work that way.
