One trick for the unwary is if you have a graphic Card and Onboard, if the BIOS is set to detect the onboard instead of the Card, you wont get graphics, or a common mistake is to plug the monitor into the onboard when you have A Card - same effect - no go.	wainuitech (129)

We have two connections, one of which is blue, so it looks like we do have onboard graphics. However both have been connected for the two and a half years we have had the PC. Misty	Misty (368)

I have not yet managed to get round to our friend's place to try out the monitor on their PC. However I will have to be very aware to look at how many connections they have and that their BIOS may have a different setup. Knowing this is a very good start, however. Thanks ! :) Misty	Misty (368)

Hi wainuitech Have now tried with only the onboard graphics lead, with only the DVI lead and with both at the same time. None of the three possibilities give a picture. :( I have been round to a neighbour's place and tried out the monitor and it worked fine there. They had a computer with only a blue fifteen plug - ie onboard graphics only, but the monitor worked. Don't know if its any help but the motherboard I have is a CMV brand CT-720DS SXGA DVI. The motherboard is ASUS K8N 754pin nVidia3. The Processor is AMD +Fan Athlon XP3200+64. Misty :help:	Misty (368)
