I want it only on External.

With my T60p running W7 pro in the docking station I leave the unit closed all the time while in the docking station. You can then start the unit from the docking station round button. You will have external display only. When shutting down I put the unit to sleep using the W7 Start Button to access. Make to sure to let unit go to sleep before removing from dock.

I was having problems with resolution changing with the unit open and locking up after removing from dock. The above procedure has seemed to work fine.

Resolution and external monitor properties are done in W7 screen resolution dialogue box (right click mouse on Desktop).

Hope that helps.

Bruce
