Hello,
I am trying to extend my laptop computer screen onto a secondary dell
trinitron monitor that is connected to the laptop through the docking station
and running Windows XP. When I go to Control Settings, Display, Settings, I
see the two monitors, click on the second one and choose Extend my desktop.
Both screens go dark for a second and the extension works, HOWEVER, my
monitor is now the primary and my laptop is the secondary. Everything works
fine except for this feature, which makes it such that I have to reboot my
laptop when I disconnect the monitor in order to use it again. I would
really appreciate any help you may have about how to correct this problem or
why it is doing it. I have tried to deselect the "Use this computer as the
primary" for the monitor but it is grayed out.
Thank you!
