trying to connect two monitors

[Ext User(ineedhelp.)]

im trying to connect two monitors to one computer. ive tried both monitors in
1 video slot and it works, but if i put it in the other slot it doesnt work.
I tried help but it says to go to display and click identify, and i dont see
an identify button. either theres just something wrong with the slot or i
dont know. if its impossible im over it. but it would be pretty cool to have
two monitors. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Yes, it's cool to have two (or more) monitors.

What exactly do you mean by "slots"? Do you mean the 15pin connectors on
the video card? Are you using a dual-headed video card? What card, by the
way?

Do you have the latest drivers for the video card installed?
