Dual Monitors

[Dianah]

This might not be the right place to ask. I have two monitors and a dual
video card.

The card came with a short cable with two, one has 5 pins and the other is a
single female end - as if a jack would plug into it.

The one monitor is plugged into the video card, as per usual. I have no
idea how to plug in the other monitor. The card has an additional plug on
it, but I don't have anything that will match it. I think I can figure out
how to dual them, after I get them plugged in ... but plugging them in, is
the mystery. Perhaps I didn't receive the necessary linking cable for this.
I'm usually pretty mechanical, but this has got me miffed.

Can anyone help? My apologize if I'm asking too much from this forum.

Thanks
Diana

If the second monitor is an analog one, you probably need a dvi to
analog adapter.

Begs a lot of questions but my guess is your card has "TV

Out". If so, the 5-pin plug is "s-video" (picture only)
and the other is an RCA connection (sound only) both of
which you can plug into a TV - not a monitor.
