How do I set up my monitor for both VGA and DVI – single monitor?

windows dvi monitor


I have a Samsung 906BW monitor. I have a VGA and DVI cable connected to my graphics card. Ever since I hooked my DVI cable, Windows XP thinks I am using dual monitors. I have one monitor and want to be able to switch between the DVI and VGA. My monitor has a source button with this capability.
Nevermind I figured out how to do it. In case anybody is wondering – there is a setting in the graphics card for “clone”. You can access this by clicking ADVANCED in DISPLAY PROPERTIES and hitting the tab for your graphics card.

I am using Windows 7 beta and am using T ata Indicom broadband. My internet is not working after I upgraded. It worked perfectly when using vista. All my internet settings are correct. The server is up and my modem is working fine. Yet I cannot connect to the internet. Is this because of Windows 7? Is my ISP not compatible with the OS? How can I solve this problem? Please help!

When will I likely be able to actually purchase a Windows 7 computer? Will it cost more at first?

Tuesday 28 July 2009 @ 11:09 am
windows 7


I’m holding off on buying my next Laptop until Windows 7 is available. When is that most likely to happen?

And does ordering a computer with a new version of Windows generally cost more when it’s first released? (As compared to the situation with Vista right now, where it usually costs MORE to get the older XP.)

Thanks!
