I've got it working, tried the BIOS and everything thing else but made it worse. Manage to do a system rstore from about 2 months ago. It seemed to fix it. Still don't know what was wrong.

Hi, I have been running a laptop with a monitor also attached, so using dual monitor/ display. The external monitor is the identified as 1 with the laptop LCD 2 when I restarted it would restart in the dual mode, no problems. Everything has been fine for over 1 year then about a week ago, on restart it starts in single monitor (LCD only) once logged in goes to dual monitor, but keeps making the laptop the primary monitor. So I change it via Display, all ok then restart and back to starting in LCD screen only.<br />
I'm running XP pro, I then a system restore, loaded new drivers, load new software from ATI for RAdeon, still not fixed. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Dual Monitor works when first set up, but when system restarted reverts to single laptop monitor

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
