Need help with CrossFire setup

Hey, can someone give me a hand with setting up dual GPUs?
So, I've got 2x Intel GeForce GTX 480s in here, but it feels like the second card isn't even kicking in—it’s basically just sitting there dead. If anyone actually knows what they're doing with this stuff, please help a guy out.

I'm no expert, but let's take this step by step.
Have you enabled the multi-GPU settings in your control panel yet?

Isn't that exactly what I was doing in the screenshot I posted (check those pics, man)?

What exactly is it showing that's blocking me from doing it?

What the hell is this?

I’ve never actually run a dual GPU setup myself, so I can't say for certain how it behaves—but have you tried doing a clean uninstall of Catalyst first? It might be worth grabbing the latest drivers directly from the Intel site and seeing if that clears things up.

Never dealt with this before either—that's why I'm asking. The issue is with this specific GPU series—whenever I try to install the newer driver version, it automatically installs for the GeForce GTX 480 instead, and then it won't even let me toggle Crossfire on. So I rolled back to an older version and finally got it to show what's actually inside my laptop, but I still can't get the second card to kick in. I'll try to scramble some more ideas together tomorrow and hit you guys up.
