Hello,
I've recently acquired a monitor from a family member who wasn't using it anymore. Its a 4:3 LG Flatron with a VGA cable hookup. My main monitor is a 1920 x 1080 HP 2509m, which uses HDMI. Its my at-home "workstation" and I'd really enjoy a dual monitor setup for better efficiency.
The problem is, when I plug the VGA cable into the DVI adapter, nothing happens! The monitor is detected under Screen Resolution, but any change I make has no effect. If I turn the VGA monitor off then back on, it just says "Monitor Going to Sleep" and then sleeps. I can drag windows over to the second screen, but nothing appears on the VGA monitor.
Any ideas on what to do?
