are you trying to have a dual display? if so go to : control panel, click on display, and click on setting ,window should come with 1 and 2 monitors click on 2 and check on ext. my monitor, click apply and ok, then re-start your pc/laptop..and you should now have a dual display capabilities

How do I play the Karoake screen on the second monitor, while keeping the main laptop from changing into a Karoake screen so you can work on the laptop without interference.

You may not be in EXTENDED DESKTOP.

Assuming you have a DUAL DISPLAY video card, and not simply a DUAL OUTPUT card:

1-Have the remote t.v.(or monitor) hookeed up and turned on.

2-Righrt click anywhere on a blank spot on the pc desktop.

3-Click PROPRTIES.

4-Click on the NUMBER 2 MONITOR.

5-Click the box EXTEND MY WINDOWS DESKTOP ONTO THIS MONITOR.

6-Click APPLY, then OK.
