SOny Vaio and Extended desktop
 

Ok I have done all the normal things like update the video drivers etc. The problem is I can not get this lappy to do an extended desktop regardless. It has a default monitor setting and it wont' budge :(

The extended monitor flashes on screen then goes. The properties are well naff cos they won't hold and extend the desktop. ANY ideas gratefully received. Even if I have to get a CHEAP pci card as its going to be used as a karaoke machine so needs to be vga to RGB or s-video.

I have the correct cable its just the laptop that doesnt like it. I've even tried altering the profiles and so on :( Basicall I would just like one of you puter guru's to help me out :)

the model is a sony vaoi B1xp.

I know nuffin about this, Sian, but did find this little snippet, which may make sense to you, with the settings 'to hand', as it were

- hope you are well, btw :wavey:
