Q: I bought my Ti4200 with future upgrades in mind, so I have a dual-head version with a built-in DVI port, although at the moment I am using a CRT monitor.
I got a 2001FP yesterday, but when I connect via the DVI cable, it does not appear on the LCD (even with a selection effect). The Nvidia drivers have a kind of option does not show output via the DVI port or VGA port, its defaulting to the VGA port.
Those of you with this setup, how do you make the DVI port is? I have an MSI Ti4200 with a 128 ram.
Edit: problem found. Connected to the monitor via DVI to the PC turned off, booted and everything works fine now.

Re:OK, so I figured it out
Apparently you can't hot-swap DVI connections like you can with the old VGA connectors. When I got to my new apartment, I setup my PC and on a whim plugged the DVI cable into the monitor and into my PC. Booted up just fine and XP is detecting it as a digital monitor.
Thanks for the help guys – I'm updating my main post in case someone else has the same problem and searches about it.

Re:I only see one monitor displayed on the display properties – it's a dual head video card, it seems like in the past it did show two monitors, but one was disabled. I'm using the DVI cable that came with my monitor and is supplied by Dell.
I have some utilities for this video card, unfortunatly they're in a box 110 miles away – I may see if I can find anything on MSI's site. I can't even find an option in the display properties to enable S-video output, and it seems like there was one in the past.

Re:This is probably yet another NVidia chip based card whose DVI signal isn't good enough for those high resolution displays. (The technical background is that the transmitter unit integrated into the main NVidia chips has rather poor signal quality, particularly at higher pixel frequencies as needed for these big displays.)

Re:Now is your cable a Digital or an analog type of DVI? did it come with the monitor ?
Check option in the driver properties! After you boot up go into display properties and see if you can see 2 monitors inthere ? if there is just one then there is something wrong with your connections

Re:The LCD is a 2001FP, it supports DVI Digital – I'm not sure if this card has a DVI digital or DVI Analog port.
It's this card here:

It came with a DVI–>VGA adapter, so I'm wondering if that means it's a DVI Analog

Re:actually, there's nothing special to be enabled for dvi display… when i had my ti 4200 i plugged in dvi to my lcd and it worked exactly the same as the vga cable… so u might want to check your cable perhaps?
