I've been using a dual head graphics system for some time. Previously I had a couple of Sony monitors each with VGA inputs plugged into my GeForce4 and the DVI output on this card has a DVI to VGA converter fitted. This all worked fine giving me the large desktop I wanted under XP Pro: 3200x1200.
Recently I decided to treat myself to a couple of new screens to replace the aging monitors.
I got a pair of Formac Xtreme 2010s which are fitted with integrated DVI cabling.
The DVI output of my graphics card works fine to the new screens but when I connect the VGA to DVI connector (made by Belkin), all I get is a blank screen (I think the power led on the panel comes on monetarily but then goes off again.)
Both companies involved have so far failed to acknowledge by request for help.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem or has any idea how I can rectify this problem, for example, perhaps there is another make of convertor that is known to work.
I've also tried this with another PC that has a more modern graphics card, an NVidia Quadro FX540, but this shows the same problem with the VGA output head.
TY
