Before my wife's catastrophic hard drive failure her laptop worked like this... When an additional monitor was plugged in, it would display the exact same thing as her laptop. This would happen whether her laptop screen was up or down. This is how we wanted it!
After getting her laptop back from the shop with a new hard-drive, I cannot seem to duplicate the way we had it set up before. The only thing I can do is Extend the monitors so windows and cursors can be moved from one screen to another. When I uncheck "Attached" on monitor 2 the image on the stand-alone monitor goes away. Funny thing is, when I start up the computer, I see the Windows welcome page on both monitors, but after that nothing on the second monitor. I probably spent almost two hours on this last night and I'm very frustrated! My wife is running XP Home and the other monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 174v.
Wish I could figure out how I did this the first time (painlessly, as I remember). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
