If for some reason the native capability is not working, check out UltraMon. I have used this before on my laptop to extend onto an external LCD monitor (and also have the taskbar extended as well), should be able to do the opposite if you specify the external monitor as primary. It also has a lot of cool features you don't get with the standard "extend my desktop onto this monitor".

But I am sure I am selecting it right, my desktop FX4400 works as expected! jlc From: Christopher Boggs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 4:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Nvidia Go FX1400 on laptop So your option is greyed out in the Windows display properties? Are you sure you are selecting the currently non-primary monitor and it's still greyed out? Weird.

Nvidia only until now didn't provide Go drivers, they left it to the vendor, and the ones they now provide don't have this version. I will edit the ini's on nvidias driver and force it through :-) We'll see what happens, I once did this with success a few months to allow a newer driver build to resolve a problem... Thanks, jlc From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 3:52 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Nvidia Go FX1400 on laptop I would think so. I've done this on a Macintosh. Depends on the drivers though, so... If you are running the raw drivers, see if the manufacturer has a larger download package that included extra add-ons and utilities. On Jan 3, 2008 5:44 PM, Joseph L.
