I have looked thru the bios and no luck. Here comes the interesting part, I have managed to get it working...sort of...
If I boot up the comp without the monitor attached...then plug the monitor into the wall, and THEN plug it into the laptop it works. Provided I don't try to adjust any settings, or be in a DOS type program(not running in a window) and press the windows key...all of those things mess it up, it then either goes blank or shifts over to being monitor 2.
