    Hi all,
    Have a zg5 that am trying to hook up to external monitors. Boot it up with the vga cable and see the Acer logo, then the windows load screen, but when the other acer screen flashes to bring it into windows the picture konks out and get nothing. Any clues to what could help?
    Thanks

    hm, thank you. I held F5 while booting up to enable VGA mode and now have a picture! However, its not center aligned or formatted to fit the screen. Will I have to start again and change something in Advanced?
    Thanks again

    No I meant boot normally and when Windows has loaded use either of the two combinations in my previous post to enable the secondary output of the machine.

    Also, read the quick-start guide that came with your AAO. It explains the process.
