Ok. First post here .. and I am going to violate forum policies .. and cry like a little girl.


I used a Dell Laptop. I hooked the scanner head to the VGA output. Everything worked. The EinScan software worked .. the VGA output to the scanner worked. Fine.


So today I bought a computer and video card. Hey .. I said .. I will make it BETTER ..


Yeah.


The computer:


Dell Optiplex 380.
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
E7600 @ 3.06 GHz
Ram: 4 GB
Windows 7 Proff 64-bit


...


Graphic Card:


Nvidia Geforece GT 640
2GB DDR3 memory


so what is the problem?


When I hook the monitor to the integrated video connector and turn on the computer I get a complaint ..




"Attention: Unsupported Video Configuration Detected


This computer has an add-in graphics card, but hte monitor cable is plugged into the integrated vieo card" ...
Then it goes into *explaining* how to connect the monitor cable to the "add-in" video card.


....


Ok. Sooo .. I do a search on Google


Seems that running BOTH the integrated and discrete (add-on) video card is a no no. There is some talk about possibly running both via the BIOS .. but .. what the heck?


Have I completely misunderstood .. well .. everything?


Got to admit I am a little .. ticked off at the moment.
