Is it possible that linking a laptop to a seperate monitor can cause incompatibility issues? I broke the screen on my laptop and was advised to link it to a seperate monitor and just use the laptop as the processor and keyboard.
I've had many problems today. The internet and Windows running slow, sometimes crashing for a while whilst typing in forums and media players not working properly.
My laptop spec is:
Toshiba Satellite L100-79
Intel Celeron processor @ 1.70Ghz
896MB RAM
XP Home Edition
Graphics: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Series
At start up, everything comes up on the monitor but also distortions on the laptop screen due to the cracks in it. The screen has been disabled so I can keep it open to still use as a keyboard and could this be causing my problems?
Obviously, my processor is sending information to two screens at the same time so could this be why I'm having problems? I can't afford a new processor so would I be best just keeping the laptop closed and using a seperate keyboard?
Also, I do keep the laptop screen back as I'm worried there could be leakage from the screen due to the cracks.
Can anyone give some advice please?
