No VGA with dual monitor cards that have DVI?

Hello everyone!

I have two EVGA Nvidia cards, one is an FX5200, and a ti4200, both with
at least 1 vga out and 1 DVI out. I seem to have a problem with both of
them, the DVI port only wants to work! I have just recently noticed
this now, as they were given to me. I don't know how to get around
this! For the 4200, I have a DVI adapter and can use my VGA flat panel
with it, but on either card, if I wanted to use the VGA port and
completely ignore the DVI, I get no signal errors on bootup from my
monitor.

I can try to provide more info, but can anybody help me?

What if you do a hot-swap and move your flat panel from the DVI port to the
VGA port?

Those cards may have been given to you because the VGA connectors are
borked.

When I try to hot swap to vga, I still get no video from it. The cards
were both practically new when given to me, I wouldn't rule out
borkedness, but one came with a gently used workstation I got and the
other was only used for a few months before being upgraded from.

Any more ideas? There's really nothing that can be done, it seems?
