    We have three E8410's on WinXP at my company and they do not switch between the internal / external displays correctly when docked / undocked to port replicators.

    There is a problem with the Fujitsu Display Manager utility. I have tried removing and reinstalling it but I get an error message when I try to launch it. a tray icon is present but when clicked it merely displays "Switching display (D)."

    On other Fujitsu Notebooks, the Fujitsu Display Manager works flawlessly by assigning the correct video configuration for a docked / undocked profile.

    Now we have to manually switch using the Nvidia tray icon, which sounds simple enough, unless we pick up on the go and forget to switch the display first, requiring a reboot to reestablish the internal display. Func F10 doesn't correctly switch it for some reason...only when it's connected to a projector and both the internal display and projector are on the same resolution.

    Suggestions?
