Dual Monitor Support?

‎11-05-2009 11:05 AM

Hello, I just received my HP Pavilion Slimline s5280t PC with video card: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce G210 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]. I know this video card supports dual monitors, however I can only get my monitor which is hooked up to the DVI port to work. Whenever I try to hook a second monitor up to the VGA port, it is not detected.  I have hooked both monitors up to a different computer (VGA port) and they both work fine.  Does anyone have a solution to this issue?


Thank you.

Prim, you may want to try the latest driver from nVidia.  This may solve your problem.  If not, let us know.

Be sure that you connect to the discrete video card's VGA port and not the motherboard's VGA port.

I just got an HP Pailion Slimline and am having a different issue.  I have my HP w2207 monitor attached to the DVI input and my olf samsung monitor attached to the VGA port.  While it works sometimes, the HP w2207 monitor is always shutting down.

 

Suggestions?
