I have 2 LED HD Monitor's and a pavilion by HP, H2n63AA#ABHP Pavilion P7-1534. I cannot find anything to make both my monitors work because the DVI in the back of the pavilion has 27 slots. Any help on what to purchase to make this work. I bought a DVI-A adapter and a DVI-D chord and connected the adapter to back of monitor then connected the chord to the adapter and to the pavilion but no screen display. Help

Well I have my one VGA to VGA cable hooked in so one monitor works. The port on the back of the other screen is also VGA and the DVI port on the pavillion looks like this...therefore the only way I have found to connect the DVI cable was to the DVI adapter to the back of the screen then the DVI to the port on the pavilion. I have a picture of each of these but cannot seem to figure out how to put them on here. The link below the bottom picture is what my port looks like. Do they make a cable with one end like the DVI below to VGA??? I have not seen one anywhere, and noone at radio shack or best buy is any help. That is why I bought the adapter. I thought there would be an adapter for the DVI but it does not fit because its holes are all wrong

If you need to convert the DVI port to VGA you need an active DVI to VGA adaper, just a cheap cable won't work.
It could be less hassle to buy a cheap $30-40 video card with dual VGA ports and use that.

Well I found a DVI to VGA adaptor online, that is male DVI to female VGA with the 25-1 pins on the DVI male. I ordered it but I've heard that it does not even exist so I'm wondering if it is scam online or something. It will probably be easiest to take my monitors to a best buy and exchange them. Problem is my employer had them shipped to office. I will do that if that adaptor doesn't work
