2007WFP - DVI does not work

VGA works, but DVI-D does not work. DVI-D has no picture.
If I connect the DVI cable to another monitor, it works fine. So I don't think the video card and cable are problem.
I tried Self-Test Feature Check, but a floating dialog box "No DVI-D cable" does not appear on-screen. It enters Power Save Mode.

    Give this a try:  Right click a blank area of the desktop, then click settings, under the display bar in the middle of the box you may have more than one choice.  Might one of the choices be for DVI?  Since I don't know your computer or video card this is only a guess.

    Yes, I have another monitor to test the cable and the video card.
    The alternative monitor works, so I think they are no problem.
     
    Video card: BFG Geforce 7600GT
    Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 225BW

    etebou,

    So the DVI-D cable works. Do you have another monitor to try on the DVI port on your video card?

    etebou,

    I am confused. I cannot find any pictures of that video card with a VGA port? They all show two DVIs?

    My current video card has 2 DVIs, but I usually use one port.
    1) Video card (DVI) -- DVI cable -- 2007WFP : It does NOT work (Enters power save mode)
    2) Video card (DVI) -- DVI cable -- Another monitor : It works
    3) Another video card (DVI) -- DVI cable -- 2007WFP : It does NOT work (Enters power save mode)
    4) Another video card (VGA) -- VGA cable --2007WFP : It works
     
    My PC does not recognize 2007WFP any more using DVI.

    Try the 2007WFP on all DVI ports with no other monitors attached.

    I tried the 2007WFP on both DVI ports with no other monitors attached, it doesn't work.
    Another monitor works.
