Do you have a video card that allows two monitors to be connected, if so then
you have the monitor connected to the wrong (secondary) output.

Alternatively do you have two display adapters in which case you need to go
into the mother board BIOS (hardware configuration) and either disable the
adapter you're not using or set the order of the cards to initialize the one
you're using first. See your system manual for details.
