connecting a flat panel second monitor to my Dell PC
I have tried to connect two monitors to my Dell Dimension 8300, but I have found that only one of them is receiving a signal. I have used the analogue and digital outputs from my G-Force 64mb graphics card and connected a cable from each one of these ports to each monitor, but the monitor connected to the analogue output remains in standby mode and does not come on. I can only get one monitor to work at any time but not both at the same time.
Do I need a new graphics card driver to make this work or is there a setting on Windows XP to make both montors work at the same time? I am using two standard Dell flat panel screens which both accept digital as well as analogue inputs. One screen is a 19 inch and the other is a 15 inch. I am using Windows XP home edition.
Can anyone solve this for me?

Michael73,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
You will need to purchase another video card. The card you have will support either a digital or an analog connection. Not both at the same time.
