Hello,
I have a Dell Laptop with Vista. I plugged in an external monitor and closed the laptop lid. The screen saver will not come on in this configuration. I went into the control panel and tried to connect to an external monitor but it said that there is no monitor connected. Is there any other settings that I am missing?

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

Yes, I connected the ext monitor to the only plug that would frit on the lap top. The monitor works fine, except for the screen saver.
