    The white socket is the DVI (digital video input). You will need to get a converter. I am surprised that you did not get one with your card! You plug the converter into the white socket & hey presto you now have another analogue output!
    By the way, knock off the caps, it is considered shouting & rude!

    May I also recommend using a great program for Dual Monitors that goes past standard Windows Options...Ultramon.

    http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

    You can read up on it at their link above.
