Hi,
I have a new PC, it's an Acer Aspire X1930, it's a slimline version with windows 7 home premium. I wanted to be able to see my display on two screens that I had with my old pc, using a vga connect and a dvi connection. So, I purchased a graphics card, a bit blindly really, because I didn't really care about it's functionality, it's and Asus HD 5450. So, I installed my graphics card, which had a dvi and a hdmi connection. Windows 7 automatically picked up the new card and I was able to see my display on the screen with the dvi connection. However, I cannot see anything using the original vga connection that is on the PC, which I need for the second screen. In the device manager, there is only one, I've installed the driver using the cd and the same results. If I power on the machine and have nothing connected to new graphics card just the original vga connector, screen is blank. If I take out graphics card, vga connection works fine, put it in back, same thing no way will it display, it's as if the new card replaces the original display adapter or takes it over completely. Your help would be greatly appreciated, this seemingly simple task is wrecking my head
