You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Got a make and model for the new computer? If so, check the documentation for it and see if there are settings that need to be changed in BIOS to enable multi-monitor output.

For example, here's the instructions for a Dell XPS 8700:

BIOS Setup

Restart your computer
At the Dell logo, tap F2 until the message Entering Setup Appears
Select Advance Setup
Scroll down to Onboard Device Configuration and press Enter
Scroll down to Intel Multi-Display and press Enter
Select Enable and press Enter
