The answer for the Acer worked on my DELL with Vista. I did a right click on the screen of the laptop, selected Graphics Properties, and chose Monitor instead of Notebook in Display Selection, Primary Device. Yeah! I am not longer going blind!
Obviously, this may not be the solution for all of the people with this problem, but before opening the computer up or taking it to the shop, it is worth a try.

Hi, my laptop screen has broken so I conected it to a monitor as its the cheapest option and I only want to use it in the house. Ive tryed all of the button fn + f1,f2,f3,f4 and so on and also ctrl +alt+ f1 but nothing seems to be working. When the laptop starts it shows it on the external screen untill you press start windows in normal mode then it goes off, but if I start windows in safe mode it will keep showing it on the monitor and this works, but of course as u probebally know in safe mode there isnt a heck of a lot you can do, Does anyone know how can I get it to work in normal mode on the external monitor. I cant see anything on laptop screen totally broke exept a small light smudge.
Laptop details:
Acer aspire 7520
External monior:- sampo alphascan 718
thanks

I gave that shortcut , CTRL+ALT+F1 , after troubleshooting my problem with an external monitor for my acer laptop , with MOBILE INTEL GRAPHIC. I googled your model of laptop and it seems to that it has a Nvidia card ?!
You have image on the external monitor in safe mode , because no video driver is loaded.
As soon as the driver is loaded (normal windows) some setting will put your image only on the primary monitor (now broken). There is no problem with your external monitor.
1.Simplest way - try to find a fully functionaly laptop with an identical graphic card . Check the graphic card control center - there should be a menu for switching image (clone, dual, primary...etc) . Learn how to navigate to this menu just from KEYBOARD ! (IT WIL BE FUN , TRUST ME !). Pretty sure there is another shortcut , same like Ctrl Alt F1 , but specific for that video card .
Go back to your laptop and ... try to follow the steps you've just learned.
2.Another way (not guaranteed) - from safe mode , go to My computer/ Mange /Device manager and disable(dont unistall) display adapters .Restart. Normally will get image on both monitors . If this looks ok , try to uninstall the video driver , and install it with your monitor Plugged in. It should be recognized and you should get a dialog to choose the primary monitor .
