I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre that works with a DVI monitor. There is a DFP output but when I try to use that with a regular monitor (I know it is good), I don't get any picture. I am not able to keep the DVI monitor. Any suggestions? Do I change something in bios or just get a cable the is dvi from computer to dfp at monitor.

Great, it solved my probem! I appreciate the help. I do have another
Quesion, recently I have had a problem with the computer freezing up when
Working with more than one program open. For examle, if I am working in
Microsoft outlook express, I can't open Quicken, it hangs up. I used the
Lenovo diagnostic, memory and everything checked out...only abnl test was
Linear verify...but repeated the hdd test and it was ok..does that sound
Like hdd problems? I had the same HDD in another computer and it did the
Same. So I put it in another computer that was working fine and it still
Does it...I am thinking HDD.

Yes, I think your HDD is failing. Back up everything while you can.

Yes, I thought so...backing up nearly complete! Got any good suggestions of what settings I should save...ie network etc or where to find those guidelines. By the way, you have been great help!

No suggestions, but could be worth it to join the forum and ask; I got good info when considering a ThinkPad.
