Running two monitors?
How can I run two monitors from one computer? Can I run a VGA and DVI from the motherboard into one video card which has VGA and DMI? Or do I need a dual VGA card?

Do you have a graphics card or just the onboard motherboard graphics?
And if you do have a graphics card , what is it? |

And if you do have a graphics card , what is it? I talk with the best buy geek squad and they said I can't run two monitors from one video card - one from the VGA and one from the DVI that I needed a graphics card with dual VGA |

It should be doable as long as the video card supports dual displays. I'm doing it with my 220GT, one VGA and one DVI. Once you have both monitors connected, boot into windows and hit the windows key and the P key at the same time. Then see if it will let you select Extend. Or open control panel, click the Display icon, and then select Change display settings from the list on the left. The next window to open should show your two monitors. In there you can set your screen resolution, ID them, and move them around if they are physically reversed. One thing I have noticed is that only the primary monitor displays the boot screen and logon screen. My second monitor is blank until windows loads my desktop.

Running 2 Monitors? I have often wondered why people run two monitors on a standard type setup. Just thinking of it I think having the split in the middle of what ever I was doing would be a huge negative, especially when playing games :confused: |
