3. In the Display Properties window, click the Settings tab.
4. Click the monitor 2 icon, click the Extend my Windows desktop... check box, and then click Apply.
5. Change Screen Area to the appropriate sizes for both displays and click Apply.
6. If prompted to restart the computer, click Apply the new color setting without restarting and click OK.
7. If prompted, click OK to resize your desktop.
8. If prompted, click Yes to keep the settings.
9. Click OK to close the Display Properties window.
To disable dual independent display mode:
1. Click the Settings tab in the Display Properties window.
2. Click the monitor 2 icon, uncheck the Extend my Windows desktop... option, and then click Apply.
If necessary, press <Fn><F8> to bring the screen image back to the computer display.
