So im trying to set up dual monitors as i want to have like teamspeak on one window and BF3 on the other or sumthin like that

so im running a Emachines 18.5 inch flatscreen on the top DVI port witht he VGA adapter which came with the card and then theres a DVI port underneath that different than the one on the top i got an adapter for it today so i can run dual monitors i have my old flatscreen CRT sitting around and it works fine
i plugged it in to the adapter and it didnt show up when i tried too identify it, just stayed black but my primary one did and i even switch the cables and it did the same one worked and other one didnt i was wondering is there something i have to do to make them work

thanks John

just for giggles do you have a different monitor you can try, its possble in fact its likely that the gpu can not offer dual screen with the CRT monitor because the fact that CRT monitors do not offer native resolution.

"Thus, a DVI-D connector cannot be converted to VGA via a simple cable or adapter."

Taken from that site in the Connector section.... one can be VGA, the other monitor MUST be DVI... you can't run 2 VGA with this card... no matter what dongle you use.
