    You can just start windows normally. You do not have to boot into safe mode, to get the screen to display on the external monitor.
    If you start the pc normally, and then plug in the vga cable to the laptop, the computer will figure out that its an external monitor, and it will configure itself to post onto the external monitor.

    andy81, G.L.A. TRYER only ahs one post, and has not viewed nbr in like 4 months, so he is not going to respond unless you click on his username and send him a Personal Message.
    Try what I stated in the post above yours, and if you are still having problems report back and we can help you out.
