xp not recognizing DVI monitor



Need some help - On the most recent system I put together I use an XFX GF6600 DDR PCI-E board hooked to a Dell 2005FPW LCD monitor using a standard VGA cable. Installed windows XP, video board driver, motherboard nvidia drivers, and such - it all works just fine.

However, when I then I try to switch from VGA to the DVI ports (the XFX board has both VGA and DVI-I outputs and the Dell monitor has VGA and DVI-D inputs), the screen goes blank after Windows starts to load. Yes, you have to select the monitor to now work on the DVI input, but there seems to be nothing there when XP is running. In other words, using the DVI ports, the boot pages and entry screen are fine but then as boot up proceeds the screen goes blank and the monitor seems to be saying it has no input on the DVI port. I thought it might be a DVI-D versus DVI-I cabling issue but then the boot screen and initial load screens are fine. What am I missing here?
Thanks!
