Sorry if this is in the wrong section...

When I purchased my 21" monitor the guy told me it supports dual monitors (or something similar to that). At the back of the monitor there is a second connection where supposedly you can connect a second monitor. So, I connected a second monitor and nothing really happened. I am not sure if there is something in the control panel I need to fiddle with or some way to get both monitors up and running. I really want to get this figured out so I can begin 6-8 tabling sng's. Can anyone help me out?

BTW, my computer has an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card, in case that makes a difference

You don't daisy chain the monitors. You'd need to hook both monitors up to the video card.

If your card doesn't support dual monitors you can pick up a pretty cheap dual-monitor card at an online-retailer.

Never heard of a monitor that does that. What barnd/model is it? That might help.
