My work PC was just reimaged (10 days later) with Windows 7. Now my onboard video card is not working but the PCI Geforce 4 MX is working as a Standard VGA Adapter. I am only seeing 1 monitor and updating the Intel Q43 display driver does not fix the issue. I went into BIOS and the Primary adapter is set for AUTO. I am going to change this to Onboard tomorrow to see if that makes a difference. Other than that I am extremely happy with Windows 7 being on my computer. It is so much faster.

Windows 7 is supported by Dell on this model and Dell's latest drivers can be found here. I have rearranged them in installation order for convenience.

You need to download the drivers for your video card. You can get them from Dell at: Not an option because the add-on call was not installed at time of manufacturing. There are NO working drivers for my video card that work in 7. I guess I need to have them get me another video card or a monitor that supports HDMI input.
Edit: It comes down to this. Either A) They replace the video card or B) they get a Displayport to VGA adapter cord or C) They buy me 1 huge monitor. Update: So I explained the issue with the Desktop group and they gave me a PCI Express card. I thought ROCK! However if a PCI Express card is installed in this POS, it will override the onboard video card. This is why I have NEVER and NEVER plan to buy a pre-built computer for my personal use.
I appreciate the help but I am going to request a larger monitor. 17' is just tooooo small.
Check the BIOS setting on your Dell, in some cases you can change the setting to use 'Both' video cards. Dell typically will set video to 'Auto' so the average user will not have to change anything when they install an add-on video card.

Graphic Cards Hi I know many threads have been written about dual monitors issues but I just can't seem to solve mine. I came home from work today and both my monitors were completely black even though computer was up and running. Browsing through my iphone I noticed that dual monitors were a possibility.
