Hi There,
Can anyone provide any insight here? Its a pain when you have a 19" external monitor that you cant use :)
Hi Simon,
I don't know if this relates to your problem or not, but I saved this in my personal 'troubleshooting' posts archive:
Try your laptop user's guide first. Does your laptop have a function (F1-F12) key with a picture of two monitors on it - usually F4 or F5. On many laptop, you hold down a special "Fn" key and then press the F4 or F5 (or whatever) to cycle through various output modes. Each time I press this combination on my laptop changes from LCD only - VGA only - both LCD and VGA - LCD only - VGA only - etc ...
I wish it was that easy!!! I have the feeling that my toshiba's screen choice keys (as you say above) is software driven, rather than hardware - as when i only see the 'screen menu' in windows and any number of tries only gives me both screens mirrored.
