I have an ATI Radeon 8500 Series video card. Its supposed to be able to support multiple monitors. How do I connect my second monitor and make it work??
Help.. Very frustrated...

Your video card probably has two outputs on it, a smaller blue one (VGA) and a larger white one (DVI). To hook up a second monitor, you will need a monitor that supports DVI or a DVI to VGA adapter and a monitor that supports VGA. Once you have both monitors hooked up, you need to go to control panel -> display -> settings. See if the second monitor is now displayed in the box.
If you don't see a monitor with a 2 on it, click on advanced an see if there is an option to enable the second monitor (look though all the tabs.)
If you see a monitor with a 2 on it, drag the monitor to its location relative of your first monitor. A box should pop up and ask if you want to enable the montior, click on yes. Your second monitor should come on. Once it is on, click on the second monitor in the properties and change the resolution to your liking.

You have DVI and VGA connections. You need one VGA cable to connect to the first monitor, another DVI cable to connect to the other monitor assuming the second monitor has DVI connection too. You can then configure your display settings (extend the desktop to that second monitor).

Assumign the laptop is working domicile windows, flow to the reveal settings and alter it to mirror the reveal on the two or to "escalate my domicile windows own laptop" in case you desire to apply the two in an prolonged own laptop config.

Hi
Its possible but you required AGP slots on your motherboard then you can do it.
