Hey guys,
I have a GeForce 9500 in my computer with a samsung monitor connected as my first monitor (dvi cable) and a 52" sony bravia connected(dvi-> hdmi) as my second. However, today I was going to use my second monitor but the image wasn't showing up on there. I tried unplugging/replugging everything, switching inputs, etc. Does anybody have any idea on how I can fix this???? I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank You,
Kevin
 
Have you set up the dual monitor feature? or have you just plugged it in?
heres how to set up dual monitors:

Right click on desktop, click properties (personalize in vista)

go to the settings tab,

there should be two boxes in the monitor area,

click on the box with the number 2 on it (make sure your second monitor is plugged in!)

Match the resolution of the 2nd monitor with the res. of the 1st. monitor (or native res)

click the check box that says "extend my windows desktop to this monitor" click apply.

Drag the boxes to match the physical position of each monitor,

click on the box with the number 1 in it. click identify. a large number 1 will show on one of your monitors, do this with the second monitor, a large 2 should come up on the second monitor.

Click apply once more to confirm.

Test by dragging a window from one monitor to the other with your mouse.

If that works you will have sucessfully set up two monitors.

Hope this helps.
