    Hi,

    I bought a new tablet PC

    sony vaio ux 180p
    Os: Vista business 32 bit
    ram:1014 mb
    processor
    : intel(r) core (TM) solo cpu 1.33 Ghz
    graphics: mobile intel (R) 945 gm express chipset family

    I connected my tablet pc to a regular external desktop monitor
    using VGA cord.

    HCL
    OS: Win xp SP 2
    intel(R) premium (R) 4 cpu 1.50 ghz
    display: plug and play intel(r) 82845G/GL

    Siince vista did not recognize the output device automatically as soon as it was connected, Using the "Windows Mobility Center" application I clicked
    the "connect display" button but happened. It showed "display connected" and "connected". but nothing came up on monitor.

    I clicked on the "connect display" button again from the Windows
    Mobility Center -> Detecting -> pop up options for "how do you want to
    use the external display" again. I was provided with three options
    1. External display only
    2. Mirrored.
    3. Extend to external display.

    Tried all the three options but nothing happened. So i am trying to figure this thing out. Is it something to do with drivers. I dunno. I am trying to figure this thing out. Any help would be much appreciated.
