It worked fine using the dvi to vga adapter. Then the cable for the VGA monitor crapped out. It was causing the screen to have a purple tint on both her mac and my pc. So I purchased a replacement cable for the monitor. Works great with my pc, but now her mac will not work with it. The odd thing is if I power down the mini and restart with the monitor hooked up, it will show some stuff at 1st. The white screen with the grey apple in it. Then as it goes to the next screen it goes black and says cannot display this video mode, and never returns. I am not an apple guy, I'm a pc guy and this is getting wildy frustrating. If this was an issue with my pc I would have had it fixed hours ago....but that is probably because I am familiar with a PC and the ease of fixing issues(despite what some people seem to think). I am very unfamiliar with macs. Ever heard of this issue? My g/f’s macmini is connected to a VGA DELL monitor. It worked fine using the dvi to vga adapter.

Well, in Windows, it detects whether there’s a monitor connected, too. You can’t enable the external monitor port if there was no monitor plugged in when Windows tried to detect it.
