2nd monitor with Vista
The monitor runs on my laptop as well as showing the idential thing on my
external monitor. That's a function of your laptop, not Vista. Look for a key with a picture of a screen & laptop on it (often F7 or F10). Press Fn + Fx on your keyboard and you will rotate through: - laptop only - external only - both |

2nd monitor with Vista
Set the laptop monitor to timeout, and set the laptop to NOT hibernate,
sleep or shut down when you close the lid, the close the lid. It will eventually timeout, run it's screen saver, and then timeout again ang go dark. Mucking with the Fn+Fx keys work, but can be a pain in the butt. -- The personal opinion of Gary G.
