External Monitor Connection Does Not Work

[Rick]

Hi,

After installing SP2 to Win XP Home edition, I can no
longer use an external monitor (Sharp or Philips
projector) to project my desktop. The best I can do is
designat the second monitor as a "second" monitor that
does not show desktop images.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Rick

Have you tried "clone" mode?

I've never heard of "clone" mode. How do I do that?

Thanks, Rick

Hello,

Have you looked into updating your video drivers? They might have released
something after SP2 came out

Thanks, yet that was one of the first things i did. I
have an NVIDIA GForce4 Go 32M in a gateway laptop.

Thanks

Select monitor 2 there is a checkbox below to span the desktop to the
2nd monitor (can't recall the exact words, don't have XP here), uncheck
that box and Apply.
