Lester, are you using the HDMI video connection? HDMI uses a different code path for detecting and setting up an attached display, so that could possibly explain the variance between you and Andy. Does D2500HN have two different video subsystems by any chance? It's crazy but happens quite often when there's a builtin GPU in the chipset and then the manufacturer decides to put in a discrete high performance GPU. In that case, sometimes there's a hardware switch (a jumper, or, e.g. on my VAIO laptop, an external switch) or a BIOS setting that selects the primary GPU. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
