    Hi All,

    I just got a T61, and this is my first Lenovo.

    I have an external 22" monitor, and am trying to use their Presentation Manager to manage the different combos I can have ( laptop only, 22" only, laptop + 22" extended desktop ).

    It worked fine the first few times, but now it seems to be getting confused. The setup I used most is laptop + 22" with the desktop extended across. But when I reboot it keeps putting the 22" external as the only display. When I try to switch it back to laptop + 22" it gives an error, and then goes back to the 22". Now if I switch to just laptop it works.

    Anyone familiar with Presentation Manager - Is there a better software to handle this? I really like how easy it makes setting up the features, but since it stopped working a day later, just makes me wonder.
