I have a stationary PC which has two VGA outputs for display, and a hdmi output. I want to use the hdmi output for my 40'' TV and the VGA outputs for my standard screens (one of which should be the main display)

I have no problem connecting two monitors together, the problem arises when I add the third monitor. What happens is that the additional monitor to the main display is automatically disconnected in order for the other display to be activated.

My display looks like this:

I have also tried to duplicate display my main monitor and the TV monitor, but then I simply get the following error message:

I saw the following post, but it did not resolve my problem.
