ADD2 card has ADD

Forgive me if you've already checked this.

 

I would suggest checking your display settings and making sure that your second display is flagged as active and set to a resolution supported by your device.

 

All is forgiven.  If I attempt to check the #2 monitor in the Graphics Properties, the one that states "Extend my deskop onto this monitor",  and then click "Apply,  it immediately unchecks it.  The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator driver s/w also has it's own graphics properties dashboard, when you invoke it there is a message indicating "Note: two displays must be connected to this computer before you can use this feature...".  So it has detected there is no 2nd monitor attached.

 

Here's another monkey wrench in the stew:  I plopped this card in a GX620 and it works just as pretty as you please, didn't have to do a thing to make it work!

 

I also did the excercise most of the graphics card manuf's suggest: that is, I disconnected ALL cords from the monitors and workstation, reconnected everything, fired it all backup. No change.

Here is yet ANOTHER fly in the ointment:  I plopped the card in another GX620 - does not work, same behavior as in GX280. I start up in Safe Mode - it works! But only to a degree,  it basically mirrors the image on the primary montior (you cannot "Extend" it in SMode). UHG!!!  Do I love Dell?
