dual display problem

[billyo]

i friend of mine bought mtu's durabook laptop, and just last week the dual display wouldnt work, i tried to fix it and still couldn't drag the viewers screen to the tv..when playing a song both main /and viewer screen will show on a laptop, just couldnt drag it over to the tv, did everything i know how, still the same..when i went to troubleshooting there was this msg. " adobe 7 is not able or capable of running a dual monitor/display" (or something like that )..this is the first time i run into this kind of error msg..any ideas?

Did you right click on desktop, and go to propertys and settings,
and make sure extend my desktop was checked.

Have you updated video card drivers from manufactures website, and checked card settings.
also all windows updates from custom update.

i updated the video card, couldn't get the windows update, i can't access ie due to some problems with the wireless card, i get an error " turn on wireless card " and i did, then i get another error " even though wireless card is on, you must turn on your wireless card hardware" and tried to look to where to turn on, couldnt find it anywhere

there's an application called Windows Update Downloader (WUD) that you can use to get updates when you aren't able to connect to the update service for whatever reason. maybe it could help?
