    Hey everyone. I've got a FE890 and every time when I plug in my external monitor, whether it is CRT or LCD, it will auto recognize and shifts from my laptop display to the external. I don't want that to happen. Is there a way that I can turn off that feature (I'm not sure if this is Vista's fault or Sony's software) ? I want to have the ability to switch screens when I want to and when I want. Thanks.

    go startmenu- programs- vaio central- second tab(List)- External Display Detection Setting, there you go turn off the "change the external display detection method" apply.
