It really has all been explained in your other thread,
You must connect one of your monitors through an active MDP to DVI adaptor,unless you have a monitor with a display port adaptor connection.
If the adaptor you have doesn't work you need to get it replaced or buy a better one.
The adaptor you have bought doesn't do the business according to reviews I've read.Last edited by vanthus; 26-09-11 at 20:02.

Alternatively google "detect third monitor" as it seems to be a common issue

This is the type of adaptor you need,

sapphire adaptors are usually pretty good,but I cant guarantee anything you get will work.
Try to get one you know you can return if it doesn't work.
