by vik on 04-07-09 09:42 PM Try second utility, if no go then go control panel, hit performance and maintenance, click system, then select hardware and then device manager, look for any yellow error stamps, check your display adaptors and monitor device, if any problems double click on issue, go to drivers in properties and update driver through internet. |

by XoN on 06-07-09 06:06 PM Is it an on-board on separate video card? It could be possible the card doesn't actually support a dual monitor setup. |

by ant090389 on 06-07-09 10:46 PM its an on board yeah i thought that there is a chance it doesn't support dual monitors but the program and driver that came with the mother board says other wise. i think if i can just get a picture on the digital output then i think i will be in business. |

by XoN on 07-07-09 11:41 AM If its onboard then check the bios settings. There is most likely a setting to enable/disable one or both of the vga/dvi outputs. |

by ant090389 on 08-07-09 08:57 PM i had a look through the bios and all i found was settings to adjust weather to use the on board or an after market i couldn't see anything about the dvi in the book that came with the mother board it just mentions that you can have a monitor connected to the dvi port. |
