Dual Monitor Problem

zapman · 06-16-2008, 12:13 PM

Hello, got a problem when i'm trying to connect two monitors to my system.

I've been trying to connect a second monitor to my Nvidia Geforce 7500 LE.
I was connection the second monitor using a DVI to VHA adapter.

Heres a picture on the adapter:

I've tried to setup the computer to use the two monitors with the Nvidia controllpanel, but without luck.

I've tried to uninstall/install new drivers for the card and restarted my computer, but it did not work.

My main monitor works, but the second monitor that is in my adapter dont work, it's still black.

By the way i'm using:
* Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
* Nvidia 7500 LE
* Ram 3582MB (4GB)
* AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.0 GHz
* Computer model: HP Pavilion m7725.sc

By the way, sorry for my bad English.

I believe that the DVI port on that card will only support a digital monitor meaning you can't use the DVI to VGA adapter. It's not a very popular card, I think it only came in HP's and there isn't a lot of info out there on it. There may be someone with more experience with this card that will chime later.

I've got the answer on the problem now.

I cant use two analog monitors to my grafic card (VGA). I need to buy a screen with DVI support. It dont support adapters DVI to VGA eather.

I was wondering how mutch a card will cost that supports two VGA monitors, and that
is compatible with my system and that i can play new games with. I'm not really good at grafic cards. What do i need to look at?
