Yea, just get a VGA cable and run it from the back of your laptop to the monitor you want to use.





Then do this:

1. Right click your desktop and select properties.
2. Next click the settings tab.
3. If your video card supports multiple monitors, you should see a box with a 1 and a box with a 2. Those are your monitor sources.
4. Next click the box numbered 2.
5. Next check the box that reads,"Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor".

Now you should be rocken and rollen!! Don't forget to wear your poker face....oh wait, err, it's online....

Come on, ddp. Do it. The guy is an inconsiderate jerk. :( He didn't have the decency to come back, right away and let folks know that he had found a solution.

You're letting him back in, in two weeks, so you can smash him again with your "Sledge-o-matic"? LOLLOL!

Mercy, I love it. :) Some folks need to be smacked up the side of the head, more than once.
