    I'm trying to set up dual monitors, and can't seem to get it to work.

    I'm using a external LCD with a DVI->VGA converter plugged into the laptop. The LCD knows there's a signal as when I plug it in it just goes blank as opposed to the "no signal" screen.

    However the laptop doesn't seem to detect it. When I go to graphics properties it says "Multiple Display, blah blah, please connect another display". And there's no tab for another monitor or anything.

    Ideas here?

    What operating system are you using?

    If you are using Vista, try this:

    Right click on desktop, and select "Personalize"
    Click on "Connect to a projector or other external display" on the left
    Click "Connect Display"

    Hope this helps or works!

    Well, at least that was something new. It says "no display detected" unfortunately.

    I'm on vista, and the LCD in question is a Hyundai L90D+

    Hmmm, curious. Is your LCD on the right setting (analog/digital)? Maybe that setting got screwed up somewhere.


    FYI, I have had a problem similar to this. I just let the screen sit for a while to "warm up" and it worked. This was on my old desktop. Have you tried this?
