ok, so i want to hook up my laptop to a tv with a VGA connector. the problem is that my laptop wont let me make the tv my primary monitor, and thus, my laptop screen must remain on while i watch movies on my Tv. Is there a way to disable my laptop monitor so that the only display is the tv. i fooled around with the display options, but the tab that says "make this my primary monitor" is checked, and greyed out so i cant modify that field for my laptop screen. any help would be great. thanks

sorry, here is some information.

I have a ThinkPad T60 with a 15 inch display. it has a ATI mobility Radeon X1400 (128mb, max resolution 1400x1050). I am running xp home. The output from my laptop is VGA. The system specs are a T2400 Intel @1.83GHz and 1GB of ram.

You should be able to set the TV as the primary monitor via the software for the video chipset (usually a tab under advanced display properties).
