Greetings all,
......Seems my month for computer issues...I picked up a dell 1901FP lcd computer monitor that has dual inputs - vga(?) as well as a digital input and has two cords...(Running win xp, sp3, plenty of ram and hard drive space and processor speed).
.....I attempted to connect it to my dell's GX 280 OPTIPLEX graphics card and it does not function (no video displayed) even switching between both video modes on teh monitor....I get a "video test floating box" but, no real video...HOWEVER, when i connect it to my Toshiba laptop, it functions normally...
....This has the ability to switch between digital and "standard analog" inputs...My dell had another graphics card in it when i got it but, i since removed it years ago and besides, the pin configuration does not match up with the "digital" cable.....
....I went into setup of the computer and so no setting i could change....Yes, some will say it is the video card and tell me to get one compatible but, why then does it work with the laptop?.....Thanks in advance for replies.
