I have a windows 7 PC with a VGA and DVI-D port in the back and I want to run an extended desktop on two identical Acer analog monitors with only VGA ports. So far I have only been able to split the VGA signal to give a cloned desktop on both monitors. I have one monitor running only when one connected to the VGA, and one DVI.
Could this be because PC only has DVI-D? I have bought adaptors to switch from DVI-D to DVI-I then from DVI-I to VGA, but when connected the PC does not pick up the monitor and I an wondering if this is the loss of signal when changed from digital to analog?
P.S. I have gone through the graphics properties to extend desktop, but it cannot see it on DVI, and when split through VGA it just sees the one monitor - is this because they are the same model?
Please help!!
