Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Toshiba laptop as secondary monitor

Hello,
I have a Toshiba laptop with a nVidia gForce 440 GO video card and a secondary/mirror monitor output. I would give a lot to be able to use the LCD as the secondary monitor when the externalmonitor is plugged in. The other monitor is a 21-inch CRT, and the LCD is about 15 inches running 1600 x 1200. Needless to say, it's a pain to see anything on that monitor, but it would make a fine secondary. Is there any way to reverse the primary/secondary monitors? I already tried the plug-in VBS script on the website, and it throws an error. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried going into Display Properties, selecting the external monitor, and selecting "make this the primary monitor"?

Tried that long ago. :)

For some reason, and I think I remember reading about it somewhere else, I think laptops with secondary outputs use a different kind of multiple monitor support. I don't pretend to understand it, but that button is disabled in my video properties box. That's probably why it doesn't work in UltraMon.
