I added a AOC 2036S to my laptop system because it has a larger screen.
The AOC monitor looks good and shows all my desktop icons.
But the laptop has many icons missing when running Windows.
(This may not be germain, but I am having similar issues when running Linux.)
Is there something I can check or adjust ?
Thanks fellas,

Running clone or span or mirror mode ?
If the two monitors are spanning the desktop, most
of the icons will end up on one of the monitors. Where
graphical decorations appear, changes depending on what
mode the desktop and two monitors are in.
There is a function key on the laptop, for throwing it in
various modes. One mode would even disable the laptop
display and make the AOC the only monitor, in terms
of icons. So that's a mode as such, over and above the
multi-monitor set of modes.
If you do a Print Screen, and paste into an image editor,
it may give you a way to review what mode you're in.

For ATI graphics, they provided a manual for using the
Catalyst Control Panel. Page 14 shows a picture of the
custom control panel for Windows. I don't think I have
anything useful for the other companies. But they will
offer similar functions.
