Do I have a setting wrong?
I have an HP laptop with XP. I used to use an external monitor but it
started saying "no signal" and stopped working. After Office 2007 ran some diagnostics (probably unrelated) when I rebooted the computer the external monitor started working and mirrored the laptop screen, apparently working again. Once the boot-up process started Windows the monitor again said "no signal" and stopped working again. (All of this with the laptop open). Any ideas? Thanks in advance... Bob

There's usually a keystroke to toggle the external video on and off. If your keyboard as a Fn button, look for keys that have an extra function printed on the front (not top) face of that button. Use the Fn key to execute that function. On this keyboard: http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/3415.jpg Fn + F7 appears to toggle the external display.

I don't know if you are a guy or girl but I'll give you a big kiss anyway. I tried a buttom previously missed and it works great! Thanks again... Bob
