Trying to set up dual monitors on Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit,
Currently have a Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset Graphics Driver installed

I have tried several PCI express video cards, installing the corresponding video card drivers with no luck. No other video cards are recognized in the device manager. Graphics options does not identify or detect any other monitors or video cards.

What is the best way to accomplish dual monitor setup? I see an HDMI port (See Photo Below) will that work for the 2nd monitor if I buy a HDMI to DVI cable?

Some photos below, not sure if they will help but I'm really at a loss

I believe you are currently using the onboard graphics adapter. When you installed a separate PCI Express video card, you must go into BIOS and "Disable" the onboard graphics option. Then there might be another option for graphics priority in the BIOS, which you can select something that says "PCI Express". This will tell the motherboard to look for graphics card on the PCI Express first.

Thank you Sedona for the response, I did come up with a solution.

SOLVED

So I thought it was an HDMI port in the back but turns out it is a DISPLAY port. I purchased a DISPLAY to VGA cable adapter and it works perfectly. Hope this helps if anyone else has an extra display port in the back this is the easiest fix!
