Thanks, Elizabeth, but I was pretty much already on that path. I tried going out from laptop RGB to my newer monitor but the laptop still only showed one monitor. Restarted and all. Then I moved up to our 1 year old LG smart TV. Same thing. Even used the "out to tv" s-video port to the tv, again, laptop only shows one monitor available. Could it be a service pack issue? My desktop is 2002 Windows XP PRO SP3, yet that only shows one monitor as well.
