    Hello

    I just bought an external monitor to use with my 6625WD. But i have a problem. I can get the image cloned to my external but when i close the lid on the laptop the external screen goes out of range. Same thing happens if i preff FN+F4 to change to the mode were only external monitor is suppose to me on. I have installed the newest drivers from Laptopvide2go.com.

    Anyone know a fix for this problem?

    Best Regards Fredrik

    Can you set the external monitor to be the primary display?

    Can I ask why you need to close the screen?

    And about external screen, Iv allways had trouble with them, I never get them to work straight away, I allways need to go standby and resume for it to work (or have it plugged in at startup). No idea if this is hardware related or Vista related

    I just dont like having the top up right beside the external :p feels wrong to me hehe.

    guess im gonna have to just keep trying. Stupid Vista/Nvidia/Zepto, someone of them must have done something wrong.
