    When I boot up my system it says that my external display isn't working, but I haven't done anything towards that! Is this because my computer looks for external monitors on start up, and wont work if one was hooked up? Any advice will help because this probably isn't a serious problem by far. Just really curious!

    How about re-installing the video drivers and the lenovo presentation director?

    There is an issue if you connect your laptop to another monitor. There is no driver fix just out yet, hoping for one soon.
