How to install two screens-

-HP pavilion h8xt, two monitors acer (w. both vga and dvi and also a socket dvi to Add ' l on the graphics card.) Monitors came with a double over dvi cord. Can I plug a monitor into the graphics card dvi connector and the other monitor into the other plug dvi on the computer back? I understand that once they come, I must make some adjustments in the settings but I do not know how to configure the plug in the monitor of the cords first. Thanks for any help-

Given that you provide the model number or product number we can only guess at what are the specifications of your computer. Please provide this information for more detailed help.

Guess you both integrated on the motherboard graphics and a discrete video card, SO you can use both sets of outputs at the same time. With a video card, built-in ports are disabled and can not be used. It seems to have been video graphic card in the series of h8xt option;

1 GB DDR3 Radeon HD 6570 [DVI, HDMI. VGA adapter]

2 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]

1 GB DDR3 Radeon HD 6670 [DVI, VGA, HDMI, DP]

3GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 [DVI, HDMI, VGA]

1 GB DDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti [2 DVI, mini-HDMI. VGA adapter]

1 GB DDR5 Radeon HD 6850 [2 DVI, 2 mini-DP, HDMI. VGA adapter]

1.5 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 [2 DVI, HDMI, VGA adpt]

The 2 above in RED will support 1 monitor using DVI adapter / VGA and the other using a monitor cable HDMI-DVI. The 5 listed above in GREEN will support 2 monitors using the DVI.
