Hello I have A Dell docking station and two monitors the docking station has 2 DVI 1 VGA with one VGA hooked up everything works fine on 1 monitor as soon as I plug in the DVI Cable the VGA gos black and nothing happens on the DVI monitor. when I un plug it I see both monitors are found in Nvidia control center then it gos away. as soon as I unplug the DVI cable it should be gone but it like ghosts or something.

Anythoughts on this problem?

Hi thanks for you help Yes Ive tried to do many things to fix this. this worked before now for some reason its not. The Laptop w-7 64 is docked the vga cable is plugged into the dock Monitor 1 with VGA works great! Monitor 2 is their pluged in to the power when I plug the DVI cable in the VGA gos Balck nothing on the DVI as soon as I unplug the DVI the VGA comes back on and I see the Nvidia managment showing both Monitor 1 & 2 for a sec then back to one monitor

You say you plug one monitor with a VGA which worked great. You then say you plugged a second monitor with a DVI and the VGA screen goes black, odd. Have you tried going into the display properties to (I assume you want to extend displays). If you have, does it even detect a second monitor. Also, if possible, try and plug the first monitor via DVI as well, that way you'll have both digital picture versus one analog and one digital
