Hello,
I have a acer ax3200 desk-top and want to add another monitor? I have tried a couple of different routes with no success! First can I add another screen and what am I not seeing? I have vga, hmdi, and stype outputs. It should just hook right up!?
Your the Best! Happy Holidays!

Did you go the Control Panel - Classic View - NVIDIA Control Panel - Set up Multiple displays ?

You need to activate the second video port using the NVIDIA software.

Good Luck
It's searching but maybe I'm using the wrong port? what should I be using for the second screen? HDMI or vga? I purchased a usb vga to run to monitors but for some reason it won't work either. This is not my forte' . I do appreciate all your assistance you would like to share.

vga Is the easiest it you have the cable. HDMI will give the best results.
