7. Make sure that the Settings box "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" is
checked.
You can change the Screen area and Colors settings for the second monitor by selecting
Display #2. These settings can be different from your Pavilion Notebook display settings.
There are a few limitations with dual display mode:
• Settings cannot be changed on the second monitor if DirectDraw is enabled—for
example, if video is playing—since the display driver cannot reallocate the display
memory for dual display support.
• Under dual display mode, only the software cursor can be used. There is no hardware
cursor available under Virtual Refresh mode.
• Games that use the DirectDraw API cannot run in dual display mode. You will be
prompted to disable the second monitor before running the game.
