Once you're connected your second monitor the first thing that you'll notice is that it isn't doing anything. This is normal. You just need to tell the computer how it's supposed to be using this second monitor. If you're using an updated version of Vista then it will have already detected the second monitor, so there's no need to do any hardware configuration. The next thing you'll want to do is minimize all of your open windows, right click on the desktop background, and click on "Personalize". This will pull up the "Personalize appearance and sounds" window. From here you will click on "Display Settings". This will open the Display Settings program.
