Tnx, I found it. It's under display properties/settings/multiple monitors. It has a setting, Display: Multiple monitors on NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400, and the settings tab has icons 1 and 2 which represent the physical arrangement of the two monitors, which you can drag to change. Unique to the NVIDIA chip set in this lap top I guess. Only problem is the resolution is that of the lesser display, so I lose resolution as the LCD display is only 1024 X 768. Actually ok. Display on lap top will scroll up and down to give you a larger display. I have SDR on the main (left) display and it is full screen on the 15" LCD. On the right display which is the lap top, I have MixW and I put the 2nd through 4th new message boxes below the main screen. I can scroll down to see them.
