External Display
Using Dual-Display Mode
Windows 98
When an external display is connected, it is possible to use both the LCD of the com-
puter (i.e., internal LCD) and the external display as an extended display domain with
the Dual-Display Mode.
It is possible to drag a window from the internal LCD to the external display.
Setting Dual-Display Mode

In [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Display], select
[Settings]

Click the monitor icon of the external display [2]
The display asks you to enable this monitor, press [Yes], then press [Ap-
ply].

Set the screen area and colors
This step is to set the screen area and colors for the internal LCD and
external display. The internal LCD and external display are each as-
signed a monitor number ([1] or [2]). For the internal LCD [1] and exter-
nal display [2], click on each of them to set the screen area and colors.
To confirm the monitor numbers:
By clicking and holding down on the monitor icon in the Display Proper-
ties dialog box, the monitor number corresponding to the icon will be
displayed.
NOTE
Set the colors to 16 bits or less when setting the resolution of the
external display to 1280 x 1024 or more. The screen area will not be
properly displayed when the colors are set to 24 bits or more.

Set the position of the extension display (External Dis-
play [2])
Drag and drop the monitor icon of the external display [2]. Operations
will be facilitated when the monitor number matches the actual arrange-
ment position of the external display.

Select [OK]
NOTE
There are some applications (Panasonic Hand Writing etc.) that cannot be
used in the Dual-Display Mode.
When the button to maximize a window is pressed, one of the displays will
show the maximized display.
A window that has been maximized cannot be moved to the other display.
Fn + F3 does not work when the computer is in the Dual-Display
Mode.
When the Dual-Display mode is being utilized, the pop-up icon window is
displayed only on the display set to [Primary]. The setting of the primary
side can be changed in [Display] - [Settings] - [Advanced] - [Displays].
To end the Dual-Display mode, turn off the power and remove the external
display.
