Setting up two screens

[PhilG6]

I am trying to connect a second screen to my desktop. I have a HP 2011x  20" monitor connected  and I am now trying to add a second identical monitor.  I have purchased a DVI splitter and have connected it to the screens and desktop via the DVI connection. However, when I boot the system up it goes in to a sort of safety mode and the screen resolution changes.  The display settings does not recognise a second monitor and I cannot change any settings to allow an addtional monitor. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, I have managed to set things up. I used the DVI port to connect one monitor to the PC and I used a HDMI/DVI connector to connect the second screen. Works well and linked up automatically with no problems. 

Thanks so much for responding

@PhilG6 Alright, that's awesome, although, did that document I attached help you get this? or you were done by the time I could respond?

Either way, I'm glad its been sorted and I hope you have a good day, ahead.
