Dual Monitor set up and DVI-OUT

[Plutoburn]

I have a CRT monitor and I just bought a LCD monitor.
My video card is x800xl which supports dual monitor, how do I get both monitor to work?

The other thing is, the new monitor I bought has DVI, but I don't see a hole in my video card I can plug into with the DVI cable, does it mean it doesn't support that type of connection to monitor?

In the video card properties you should be able to extend the Windows desktop to the secondary monitor.

You seem to be saying your video card has dual VGA ports, so yes, you'd need some sort of DVI -> VGA adapter. Does your new LCD monitor only support DVI?
