I?m trying to connect a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop (os XP) to a Samsung LCD (2007 model) with a VGA cable. When the laptop starts, I can see the all process (windows logo, etc.) on the LCD but afterwards, in 'Windows mode', the screen (of the TV) turns black.
I guess windows does not recognize the plug & play LCD because when I go to Display Properties/Settings I only see one icon instead of 2.
What am I doing wrong???Thanks

As the NB should have 2 displayes no matter weather or not both are connected. This is basic Hardware and relates to the Video Display installed in the NB.

If you have the Users Manual available you can look in that for the Key Combination that you use to switch between the NB Screen and the External Screen and that may cure your current problem.

Though I'm not sure what is happening with the Display Proprieties.

I also tryed that but nothing happens when I use the key combination to switch between screens (Fn + F4)

Everything works after an update of the display adapter!
Thanks
