Hello,

I'm a contractor at a client site. They gave me Thinkpad T60 w separate monitor - XP Pro. Helpdesk guy came by and configured things so that I could use my desk monitors and the laptop screen. Very cool! I'd never seen that before. Anyway, when I log on and then open the laptop (in docking station) the screen remains blank. How do I activate the laptop screen? I've fooled with Fun F7 and can get both screens to show the identical view, but I can't get it to act the way he configured it where the laptop acts as a secondary screen and is blank unless I drag something over to it.

Any help muchly appreciated.

You have to configure a dual-view configuration in presentation director. Just press Fn+F7 or start Presentation Director from the Start Menu and choose to make a new entry.

A wizard will start and guide you thru the nessecary steps to configure your screens the way you like.
