    Hey guys,

    Well my laptop screen is 15" and I have a 21" LCD screen.

    I have managed to hook up the laptop to the LCD screen, but now nothing shows on the Laptop! This isn't really a huge deal, it would just look cooler is the laptop showed the screen as well :D

    So yeah, my question is how do I get both to show?

    Thanks ;)

    I know if you have a nvidia graphics adaptor in your laptop you can enable both screens using the Nvida Control Panel. But other than that i'm not sure, try looking through display options from the control panel, assuming you are using some version of Windows.

    I have a Nvida graphics adapter, can't find how to make it show on both the laptop and computer though.
    Had a look in the display settings, said something about multiple computers. Tried it and no luck. Any other options or instructions on how to do it?

    Once i have tried that,
    When You Connect The external Monitor It display Two Options,
    I think You Should Try That,
    if It Not Shows Now So try Crating a Diff User And connecting While That User is logged in

    Not really sure what I did to fix it.

    However, I tried this:
    Screw the LCD monitor into the laptop
    Restart PC in safe mode
    Properties > Settings
    Just played around in the settings
    Restart again
    It worked :p

    Sorry, but to be honest I have pretty much no idea on how I got it to work ;)
