I need help. I just got a new computer, a Dell Inspiron 530s with a 19" widescreen LCD display. I have another 19" flat panel LCD monitor that I'd like to connect to my computer to have a monitor #1 and #2. I did this before with my laptop and it was nice to have all that room to work.
My Dell monitor that came with my new computer is connected via a DVI adapter with the blue VGA cable from the monitor plugged into that. I tried connecting the 2nd monitor to the blue VGA port but it said something about my computer having an added video card and that I would need an adapter. So I'm assuming I can't use the VGA port at all. Do I just need to get a dual cable to connect both monitors?
Here's my specs:
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO
OS: Windows XP Professional
Monitors: (1) Dell 19" Widescreen flat panel LCD display
(2) Samsung SyncMaster 191T 19" Flat panel LCD display
Don't know if you need to know anything else to help answer my question, if so just ask me.
Thanks for any help,
Carolyn
