Did you restart after attaching the screen? That should automatically get it detected, or there should be some 'detect monitor' option in your advanced settings.

yer i did restart after detecting it but it still shows the no detection. if you go into devise manager it does show 2 plug and play monitors but thats it

When you right click desktop>properties>settings does the second monitor show up? If so, select it, and choose 'extend my desktop onto this monitor'.
