Alright, so before I went and setup the 3rd "monitor" I noticed that I needed at least one connected through the Mini Displayport, so I ordered an adapter to connect to the mini displayport and then connect my VGA monitor into the adapter. So, that worked just fine, but I ran into a problem.
I'm using one monitor: 1600x900 DVI
Second monitor: 1600x900 Mini Displayport connected via VGA
Hauppauge Colossus (capture card): HDMI
So, in theory, that should be working just fine. Yet when I go to change the display settings to duplicate the monitor (VGA) with the Hauppauge Colossus (HDMI) it says: "Unable to save display settings" either I just wasted 35 dollars on an active adapter for my monitor, or the registry from my previous setup is messing up my new setup.
Please let me know if there's something that I can do to fix this! I really hope I didn't waste 35 dollars on an adapter and more on the Hauppauge Colossus (which used to work before I bought a new monitor)
Thanks,
