problems with new dual monitors

Today we replaced our CRT dual monitors with new anolog flat screens. A couple of the stations worked fine but the rest only one monitor will work.
Anyone have any suggestions, other than spelling.

Swap monitors and determine if the problem is the monitor/cable or the dual-head graphics card. If it's the card, make sure you have the latest drivers installed and can see the second monitor in the display settings. If necessary, swap cards to check for a bad card.

Not Worked as in how?

- Completely dead (no vendor screen appears)
- Not working because the settings were not correct?
- Missing a driver?
- Check Cables/Monitor as JD stated...it should be pretty clear on boot if you can see the POST on both...probably a simple setting. If you don't, it may be physical (card, monitor, cable, power...(Not trying to insult you, but I've seen a tech NOT plug the power cord in and another time not plug the monitor into the card because he couldn't find the adapter) etc..)
