Right click on the laptop screen. Choose Graphics Properties, and under "Display Devices" Set the Operating Mode to "Extended Desktop".
To the right of that, there will be two positions listed. Under Display selection, you can set the primary device to "Digital Display" which is your laptop, the secondary device should be set to "Monitor".
Your mouse will then be able to move/toggle over both screens. Hope this helps.

I have a windows Xp desktop that has been used.. Ehm.. it's connected to a Philips 107Ez monitor. Since i got the desktop, they've worked fine together. But, one day.. It just stopped working..

When i turn on the desktop and the monitor. I can hear the desktop working and the monitor clicks and the light turns on for a second. then it flashes on the button to signify the computer is off.. which it's not..! I was wondering is there any way to connect the two to get my old files off it? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
