Technical Help

So, long story short i f uped my laptop. For a while i have been running it on a monitor. Lately i go to plug the blue cable in, the screens go black then the computer pops up on the laptop scree zoomed in and not on the monitor… anyone know what is wrong?

Sounds like your priorities are wrong in your configuration. When you go in to your control panel you should have 2 monitors listed. The laptop screen that’s attached and your external monitor. The computer is using the laptop screen because the laptop is open if you were to shut it it would go to the attached monitor.

You should be able to adjust your preferences in your control panel.

Let me guess Windows Vista right?

Sounds like your res just got off, resolution changes seem to oops at times. Did you get it sorted or need more help? Rebooting should solve the problem.

Well the res has to change from screen to screen as one is much bigger. I do have it open, i will try closing it. Ya vista…
