Need Some Computer Related Help

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

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.

 

if it doesnt come up automatically
check in your display setting thats what i do
i use a 9inch laptop and connect it to a 40inch lcd

 

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?

 

get a hammer and hit it really hard
or check through help on the computer
haha

 

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

 

Woops, I forgot to mention I got it working about 4-5 hours ago

Thanks for all the help guys

 

I have been struggling myself to have dual monitor on a single pc. Can you please share how you were successful in achieving the positive result..?

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

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

 

ohh really, if you can do this then you are the best computer operator of this world!!!!
