I have a Samsung SyncMaster 204B flat screen monitor and I would like to be able to use my laptop with it for faster image processing. My Laptop is a PM1.7ghz while the tower usually connected to the 204B screen is only a PIII 800mhz.
When I plug the 204B screen into my laptop using the analogue cable I use with the tower and turn on the laptop I am having trouble getting it recognised as the screen I want to use. I have played in Control Panel > Display of XP and I can get it recognised as a second screen but the laptop screen is still the main screen and the 204B will only show the screen saver. The mouse will move from the laptop screen to the 204B but I can't get any software to be seen running on the 204B monitor..?
For image processing I just want to be able to use the 204B screen with the laptop as the CPU and keyboard only.
It's probably obvious... but any pointers..?
Cheers heaps
Mike
