How to connect two monitors?

[punkinator]

Sorry for posting in this section as I could not find a monitor section...

I have a monitor which takes up both DVI and VGA on the graphics card. I thought that one may be optional which it isnt =].

I am able to plug directly into the motherboard right, because the VGA on the monitor is blocked with a piece of plastic that says
"Do Not Remove" Why is this here? So what I want to know is if I can take a monitor that has only VGA and plug it into the motherboards VGA or will i have to buy one of those adapters, and also why is that piece of plastic there stopping me from plugging it in? I looked in the case and there is a VGA connector there.

Thanks

A monitor cannot use DVI and VGA at the same time. Connect one with DVI and the second with VGA.

AFAIK you cannot connect a monitor to the mobo.

Try pressing the Source button on the Samsung. (Set it to DVI or Digital)

My internet has been out =[.

When pressing the Source button the screen goes black then digital appears then it changes to analog then the screen comes back up. So I'm guessing this means the DVI isn't getting anything. Ok so this means it's either the monitor the cord or the graphics card, I am getting a new Graphics card soon, so what do you think it is? I guess it will be the graphics card Once I get my new one I can then see thanks =].
