I have a Dell Dimension E520 that has a video card equipped with a DVI output. I am trying to run it to my HDTV through a DVI to HDMI cord. I have the DVI hooked up correctly from the computer going to the HDMI input on the TV. However, I cannot figure out what I need to do on the computer to tell it to switch from the VGA standard monitor to the digital DVI output. I have a standard flat panel monitor ran through the standard VGA port still hook up on my desk and I also have the HDTV hooked up just above my desk mounted on the wall. I would like to be able to switch back and forth between the monitor and the TV if possible. I would like to be able to surf the web on the monitor and watch videos and things on the TV. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
In case someone was only looking in the Video/Monitor section. I have been working on this issue for 2 days and I can't figure it out. I have been to Best Buy twice and they can't help me. I was hoping someone on here could help.
