    I have been trying to install a second monitor but have came to a stumbling block. So, here is my situation ... 
      
    I have both of my monitors hooked up to my graphics card (nVidia 9800 GTX). The main monitor I am using now is hooked up via the VGA connection to my graphics card, and the second is using the DVI connection. Upon connecting my second monitor to the graphics card the computer recognizes it but I cannot get my second screen to display anything, it just stays that it cannot find any signal. I have tried adjusting some display settings for duel monitors using the nVidia control panel and also in the display properties for my desktop, but it has came to no avail. 
     
    Any on how to get my second monitor to work?!  : / 
     
    Also, I am running Windows XP SP 3 as my OS and as mentioned my graphics card is the nVidia 9800 GTX if that helps...
