    I have an Inspiron 9100 and want to run a second and possibly a third monitor from my laptop. I have a second hooked up in the back of the laptop but right now it is playing a duplicate of the main laptop. What I want is the second to be seperate - karaoke style. The main laptop would be a working laptop and the second shows only lyrics. The software that i have helps but its not recognizing that there is a second monitor.

    thanks

    You should be able to go into properties, and select the monitors, and set one up as a desktop extension. Doubtful it can support three monitors. Only two unless your card supports eyefinity, which I doubt.
