Hi all,

Few days ago i bought W7 Pro and install on my T61. My laptop is all time into dock with external monitor. When i've Xp in Presentation director i set only Monitor, atm i can do this only into W7 addon, everything work fine, but when i close the lid, mashine goes to sleep, open and i've view on lap LCD and External Monitor. I want it only on External.

What i do:
- download drivers for monitor
- set in BIOS DVI (i try VGA and DVI)
- fight with few graphic card settings and system setting

What i've:
- W7 Pro
- NVM 140M
- Advanced Mini dock 2504

Thanks for any help!

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.
