Or look on the back of your computer and tell me how many of either of these ports you have, obviously your current monitor will be plugged into one, any others?
|

thanks Don, give me 10 mins and I'll check it out and get back

Graphics card is NVIDIAgeforce6150se nForce430
Only one port on the back for a monitor |
|
By:
Iv on dual monitors and my graphics fully support this.
I can run any amount of poker tables,msn, betfair etc no problems. Most modern pcs should be ok. Just connect your 2nd monitor and try it. If not ,upgrade your graphics. |

By:
connect my 2nd monitor to where Shuda? There is only one port ( I think its VGA )
|
|
By:
Seems that's just onboard graphics expat hence why you only have one port.
You need a new graphics card, something basic will do the job fine. Under the mainboard tab what model does it say? |
|
By:
Don, its a Narra6
|
|
By:
get a dual monitor split cable
|
|
By:
yes King but dont think the graphics card is up to it as Don has said
|
|
By:
oh sorry
|
|
By:
I didn't think it was possible to split from one output, it would just clone the displays rather than extending it?
What does it say under 'Version' on the mainboard Tab? |
|
By:
version 5.15

|
By:

|

By:
And you have an extended display kingmax, ie one big desktop and not two sceens displaying the same thing?
|
|
By:
I'd suggest this expat

|
By:
cheers Don. I'll sort that out.Thanks for your and everyones help
|
|
By:
Hope it works, if you're buying a new monitor you might want to go for a DVI one since your current one will occupy the VGA one which will save you buying a VGA/DVI adapter
Good luck |

By:
occupy the VGA slot*
