I have a newer model Dell laptop (Inspiron 8100),
When i first connected a disply to the VGA connector on
the back of the laptop, i was able to see my desktop (the
same as on the LCD).
Then changed it to extend the desktop to that monitor
so i could use the desktop space. However now i would
like to go back to the way it was originally, But i am
unable to get it to work. No matter what setting i
chage, i can not get it to display both on the LCD screen
and out of the VGA port with the same desktop.

Any ideas on getting it to work again?

Thank you!

If you don't find the help you need you can post there.

The problem you are running into has to do with the
monitor you have selected when you try to change the
settings. Try changing the monitor on the Advanced
properties page. This should allow you to uncheck the box
that expands your desktop.
