Dual Monitors

[lostsoul62]

I plug in a monitor to my Toshiba laptop and went to Display and it recognized my monitor but I couldn't get anything on it so I called up Toshiba and they didn't even know what I was talking about and wanted to charge me so I know my monitor is good and my laptop knows it's there but I can't get anything on it so I must be doing something wrong? I'll say I did something wrong. This monitors VGA don't work so I hook up a HDMI ot DVI and now it works.

Did you hit the FN key + the F key that has the display on it?

What OS are you running, What model of laptop is this?

try fn + f4 key together? forces the conection through the display adapter?
if your running win 7 press the (windows button) + p
this should bring up a window that has different connection modes?
all really depends on what laptop and what os
