I am trying to dual monitor my hpe 235f, it has 3 ports a hdmi, dvi and other. 2 can be used at the same time with the graphics card i have and disables the onboard vga and dvi. Unfortunately the monitor I'm hooking up is older and only has dvi and vga, the current monitor has the same.
Bought a dvi splitter thinking it would work but only displays one image on both screens.
Would gettinger a dvi splitter with a vga and dvi connection work instead? Or what could be other options?
Thank you

After you physically connected the 2nd monitor you have to set it up properly. To do that you need right click a blank space on the desktop, select screen resolution, then select extend this display.

I know how to extend the screens, change resolution and those things. It's the connection I'm having trouble with.
When i plug both monitors into the dvi splitter I just get a mirror image instead and at 640x480 resolution. No option for extend or change resolution size when they are both hooked up in the options.
