DVi worked at work, VGA won't work at home

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help!

At work my computer is hooked up to two monitors via DVi cables. I brought my computer home and plugged it into my monitor with a VGA cable, and nothing appears.

I don't know the OS or anything about the computer really, I show up draft and leave. But thought I'd get some work done at home.

The computer seems to start up just fine, there's just no display. And it's not the cable or the monitor, I've checked both with different things and they work just fine. Does anyone know what my problem could be or how to fix it?

Were the 2 monitors at work connected to a DVI port in a graphic card?
Is the monitor at home connected to a VGA port in the motherboard panel?

Yes. Looking at the back it's pretty clear that the monitors were hooked up to a graphics card. And yes it looks like the vga port I'm trying to use is the stock motherboard output.

You will have to go into the BIos and set it to use the onboard graphics or remove the grahics card to get the VGA output to work.

That's what I suspected, but I had to ask to be sure.

It's too bad you don't have an appropriate DVI-to-VGA adapter for that graphic card.

If you remove the graphic card, the integrated graphic device should re-enable itself and the monitor should work okay.

Unless it's already installed, you'll need to install the driver for the integrated graphic device.
