Multiple Displays

[Guv]

I've just bought a Samsung LCD TV and as this has VGA input I'd like to have it connected to my PC to use as a monitor if I want it.

My graphics card is an nvidia FX5200 and has VGA and DVI, can I use both of those? I've got my normal computer monitor on VGA and using a DVI>VGA adapter got the TV on that.

When I go to the nvidia control panel I don't get the option to set up dual display as it only finds the monitor.

Any ideas?


thanks

The TV works if I just plug it straight into the VGA on the graphics card. I'll try swapping the connections over so my main monitor is on the DVI adapter.

I do get the option to select 'my display is not shown in the list' but it doesn't change anything..

Ok, do you get anything like this?



You may have to boot up with one monitor plugged in, then add the second one while your in windows.

Yep that's the screen I get but it just has my HP monitor in the list and not the TV. I wonder if there's a problem with either my DVI adapter or the DVI port on the card as I just plugged my HP monitor into it and it didn't work either.
