    you need to enable the external display. this can be as easy as using the function key with another key on the keyboard (it will look like a teeny monitor symbol printed on it) or you may have to go into the display preferences in order to change it (right click the desktop, click Personalize or options, depending on xp/vista, and look for the display link or tab.
