    does it make a difference if my dell monitor is connected to an onboard intergated motherboard connected with a vga cable (i think it is called that but its been the type thats been around since the 90's) and my tv is connected to my graphics card by hdmi? Is that the reason i cant see it in display properties?

    Was'nt there an adatper from DVI to VGA with your card? Afaik your config won't work, you'll need to connect the Dell to the card :g:.

    Yep, give it a go and it should appear in System Pane and in Catalyst Control Center. Does the Dell have also DVI-In? If so, always better to connect via DVI cable.
