You don’t give enough information

But we’ll assume you are running Windows XP or later.

Attach the external monitor and update the display drivers from the Compaq website.

If that doesn’t work, change your display type in Windows to a generic 1024×768 display.

When you have the external monitor on, go to your Desktop Properties → Settings and make the the other monitor the active one.

Doh!
