Video card problem?

I just installed an Nvidia e-GeForce 8500 GT video card in order to use a second monitor. Now, the new one works and my other one, an Nvidia GeForce 6500, won't work. How do I get it working.

Answers:
goto your desktop properties then, under the Settings tab select
"Extend My Windows Desktop To This Monitor"
you can drag the little monitors 1 & 2 to correspond with your monitor positions.

you should only need one video card. I have the 7300 and it came with 2 hookups for dual screen setups. It's possable if they are not SLI compatible that they are conflicting. I suggest removing the 6500.
