Some integrated graphics chipsets do not support dual monitors. Check your
computer specifications. If this is the case you can use either the internal or external monitor (if laptop), or one video output connection at a time (e.g.. VGA or S-Video) but not both at the same time. "Bob" wrote in message . .. In that case I agree with Rick.
