But some do not work. And the simple splitters often are not wired proper.
One last try. Connect just one display without the cable. Working? Ok, now try the splitter (just one display still.) No go? Then it's junk.

I have this cable:

I have a HP Pavilion a1025c, i want to take this cable and hook it up to my 17" lcd, and hook it to my 32" tv (the tv has vga and i tested it and it works).
I hooked it all up, and both the lcd moniter and tv wont show a picture, says nothing is connected. I dont know if my pc is missing some type of driver? Or not compatible with 2 moniters?
I got 2 of these cables for free. Says on the cable (sonet) i looked it up and i could find cables, but not this one. Any help would be greatfull.
