I'm running Vista 64bit Home Premium and a 512MB Palit 8800GT with 1x DVI and 1x HDMI.

Both my screens are VGA, so I purchased a HDMI to DVI and then used a DVI to VGA adapter. The furthest I have managed to get is Vista acknowledging that the 2nd monitor is connected but it refuses to display anything on it. Am I trying to do the impossible here?

I've tried various display drivers and have got to the point where the NVIDIA Control panel won't install any more, so I have no idea what I've done now.

Any suggestions / thoughts?
 
Is there such a thing as HDMI to VGA? When I was looking for a way to connect the screen I couldn't find one. Just about to try driver cleaner..
 
Driver cleaner worked a treat, thanks for that. I emailed Palit telling them what I'm trying to do and with what adapters and they've replied with:

"This issue is normally caused by not sending the correct resolution and/or refresh rate to the HDMI monitor. Check your settings in NV Control panel to make sure your output matches what your monitor needs."

I've changed every setting I can find but still not having any joy.
