If any one is able - please help.
I have purchased 2 monitors and an AGP graphics card to run dual monitors (GeForce FX 5200). I am using Windows XP hHome Edition.I followed the instructions but I am not getting anything to the second monitor.
Firstly, the working monitor is plugged into the AGP slot, the only other slot was the original. The 2nd monitor shows power to it but nothing else.
Secondly, when I go into display>settings I am not presented with the choice of 2 monitors as the literature suggests. It does not recognize the monitor plugged into the original socket.
There is no 2nd slot on the new AGP card so I assume that one monitor must plug into the original socket.
I am very new to opening up machines.... I want to trade with my computer and hence the reason for two monitors.
If anyone is in a position to help I would be most obliged, but it must be taken step by step so that I can understand... thanks
