Help with Dual monitors on Alienware aurora R-4
Hello ive been struggling trying to get my dual monitors set up on my aurora r-4. I currently have two dell monitors that connects with a vga While my aurora r-4 has two dvi connections on it. ive been trying to find the cable i need for it and can i just get two dvi- vga adapters seperately and itll function as a dual monitor?

Have you selected 'Activate all displays' in your Nvidia control panel?

Then I assume you do not have an Nvidia card. What graphics card do you have?
