extending laptop screen to external monitor - works but question
hello,
I use external monitor with laptop (HP Compaq 6910p) and it works but... I use both laptop and external display at the same time, essentially looking for a dual display type setup. The problem is when I maximize a program window it only takes up one display, it does not use both? Can I make it do that? I can move windows between the displays but one window will not strech to use both at the same time? This is essential for me when using terminal services, maximizing the TS session so that within it I have a dual display to work with. using xp sp3 with ati mobility radeon x2300 graphics anyone know? |

extending laptop screen to external monitor - works but question
nevermind, after noticing other windows did extend accross both screens I
realized it was an mstsc.exe specific thing... and there is a switch you use to enable what I needed mstsc.exe /span this enables dual monitor support for the remote desktop client. Not sure if actually required but I also made sure to set my external monitor to the same resolution as my laptop lcd. All is well now. thanks anyway.
