Nevakonaza · 03-24-2008, 11:30 AM

Im trying to set up a dual monitor.

i have a 22" Belinea wisescreen LCD connected by DVI to my 8800GT and i have a second 19" Belinea LCD which is VGA but i have a DVI to VGA converter for that but in the "Display settings" my other monitor isnt detected and the 19" just stays on standby?

how can i get them running together?

tks

Have you tried to force it on in the Nvidia control panel? Using a DVI to VGA converter should be prevent the monitor from being detected.
