See if your graphics driver settings are properly configured for dual monitor output.

You may have to enable in the graphic cards console.
Its disabled as default.

There is a hot key on the keyboard, which has a DVI / VGA Connector symbol. Press that and the signal will start to the external device.

You too have this laptop?
