From: Jerry West on 1 Dec 2009 12:05 I'm running Windows XP on a Dell Insipron 8600. I tried hooking up an external monitor to the VGA connector on the back and no display showed. Should it automatically? Without the need to make some change in Device Properties to make it happen? I should say that the laptop monitor itself has gone all white so that is why I'm trying to hook up an external monitor. JW

You need to press Fn plus one of the function keys (the one that looks like a monitor) to toggle the display to another monitor. Or use the display properties. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |
