Thanks, just by virtue of the fact that mine doesn't work I would agree with the comments in the links you sent.<br />

The marketing of these converters is quite deceptive as it would appear that they are useless for their assumed purpose.<br />
The motherboard's marketing is more deceptive because 'dual monitor' can only be used when one of the monitors supports digital video (which I am sure the majority of consumer items currently don't).<br />

Hi,<br />
I am running Win 7 x64 on an intel DQ45 m/b which supposedly has dual monitor support. The video ports are DVI-I and DVI-D and the kit came with one DVI-I-&gt;VGA adapter. I have two LCD monitors (vga only) so obviously could not connect both, so I bough a DVI-D-&gt;VGA adapter.<br />
I have downloaded the latest drivers from Intel (GMA4500) and have both the monitors connected to the DVI 'I' and 'D' ports respectively but when doing graphics 'properties' I only ever get the option for 'single monitor' and only the monitor using the DVI-I adapter works.<br />
Has anyone else tried using a DVI-D to VGA adapter in this scenario?<br />

Dual vga monitors on DVI-I and DVI-D

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
