Dual monitors not working for new install of Windows 7 on Dell M2300 laptop

I recently did a brand new install of Windows 7 Professional on my Dell Precision M2300 laptop. When I connected my monitor or TV to the laptop it was not picked up by 7.

The solution was to go onto Dell.co.uk and download the Nvidia Quadro FX 360 for Vista 32bit not Windows 7 as it is not supported.
