    Monitor works with DVI but when change to DFP monitor, it doesn't work!
    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
    Question, 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. BTW, 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.
