I have a Sapphire Radeon 8500 (128 mb), and want to work with 2
monitors, but I can´t activate the second monitor, and I don`t know
how to do it.
I have Win XP pro.

Super video works fine when I connect a TV, but when I connect another
monitor, this stays "blank".

If you know what to do, I will appreciate if you could tell me what to
do, and how to.

It seems that I have to enable the second monitor from control pannel,
but again.....I don´t know how to do it.

ThanX.
 
Doesn't the Saphire 8500 have a VGA, TV-Out and DVI-D outputs, so what are
you trying to connect:
A DVI-VGA Converter to VGA, will not work with a DVI-D connector.
TV-Out, DVI & VGA will not work either.

Only two of the three outputs will work simultaneously.

At the same time or instead of the TV? You can only run 2 devices.

Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -> Advanced -> Displays

Make sure that looks right.
