How would you hook up 2 monitors to a lap top running Vista?

How do you get a widescreen LCD monitor to work with an IBM ThinkPad?
If your laptop is quite old then you need the driver for the LCD to be installed onto your laptop so that the laptop can communicate with the LCD monitor. If you laptop is a later model then there shouldn't be a problem coz the drive would already be in the windows application. Or, if you have evrything connected when your laptop was on then you must restart your laptop so the laptop can reset and pick up the signal from the LCD. Assume you have the correct monitor cable (15 pins) then in the help and support window type in 'add hardware' then select 'using add hardware' and follow the instructions there.
