    Hi !

    Are there any monitor (flat screen experts out there) I have new dell 19 tft. I want to use the new DVI cable that comes with it but it dosen't seem to work VGA adapter is fine. Do I need to disable anything with the VGA cable first!???

    Any help by anyone would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks Wooky!

    That depends on your definition of experts. Jacks of all trades, we are.
    Most new monitors can automatically pick up which signal they're getting (i.e. VGA or DVI).
    What type of graphics card do you have?
