Dual monitor disaster
Simply trying to get second monitor working. Not repeating, but as a second screen. The Dell I just bought only has one VGA monitor input so I bought a VGA splitter at Staples tech support advice. Computer didn't detect it so I asked computer to find it via VGA option. Found it, applied it, but is still didn't work on second screen. It was simply repeating first screen. Thought I'd troubleshoot by swapping VGA cords/monitors. Turned computer back on and have two black screens. Swapped it back, two black screens. Shut it down, put everything back, two blank screens. Help! How can I even do a reset if I can't get back into computer? Staples guy now says to buy VGA to HDMI but still doesn't resolve how I get back into viewing my computer.
