    Dual Monitors - second monitor not recognized


    I have a Lenovo W500 that replaces one I turned in. Win 7 Pro 64. unknown Vid card. With old laptop, same make/model, I had dual monitors in use through a docking station, one analog video cable and the other DVI. Simply plugged them in and everything worked. no issues. New laptop will not recognize the second monitor (it is on the DVI cable). How do I get the laptop to recognize the monitor? Any suggestions?

    Issues solved. Reloaded ATI graphics drivers (downloaded) and both monitors recognized and available in dual extended mode.

I think this is the right place to ask this. I have two monitors connected to the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card (it has two DVI connections). With both monitors on everything works fine. Windows remembers which apps I have open on which monitor and so on. However, sometimes I turn on...
