I plugged in the 2nd monitor but it's showing that it's not connected to anything. I went to Display Settings but it can't detect another monitor.

What do I do now?

Thanks

Are you sure its a good cable?

Try again, reboot, check the connections...

Thanks!

I feel like it's too dark if I do that. When I don't have the white window taking up the full screen it doesnt really bother me, Perhaps it just takes getting used to? Those of you who have a larger screen (24 and up); when your working within one window do you keep it full screen?

I rarely use full screen on the monitor.
On the laptop i use full screen usually.

Maybe firefox has more plugins to load?

In my case the PC had a addon graphics card so they disabled the graphics card that was on the motherboard where the HDMI plug was so it didn't work

They = the PC manufacturer?

What did you do to get around that?

Yes, Dell
It has other types of ports in the addon card so I'm using that

Did you need to open the case to get to the other ports?

No but there was a black plastic pushed in blocking the HDMI port which I removed

Looking at a video someone made for us - I downloaded it from some photo sharing site.

For some reason, every few seconds the whole screen flashes bright green.

Any idea what could cause that? Tried on two different computers.

Thanks!

When you say the whole screen, I assume you mean of the video. Sounds like a rendering issue, would've said at the decoding stage, but if you tried 2 pc's it may be an encoding stage. Did the green thing happen at the same time in both vids?
