Re: Need Help ASAP

First of goto Tools/options and tick box reset display.
This should bring back the display to it's default position.
If then when you double click it it just fills your laptop screen check the extended monitor is showing as attached from the screen properties. This is a bit different to get to depending which operating system you have, with XP right click blank area of desktop and select properties in the next dialog select the Settings tab right click the second monitor and set "Attach" if it keeps unselecting check your connecting cables.

Windows 7 right click blank area of desktop select Screen resolution, you should see 2 monitors if so in the bottom drop down select extend these displays.
again if you are not seeing 2 monitors then your cable connection is probably at fault.

If you are using a converter box from your VGA out make sure you have the USB power cable plugged in to the computer as well as the VGA.
