Addison Asked:

...but immediately after the windows welcome screen there is nothing showing up on the 15" LCD monitor attached to my laptop. The same is happening on my other CRT monitor. I am surprised If the welcome screen is visible why the window are not getting transmitted on the screen ? By the way, I am attaching this optional monitor to my 9" sony viao notebook. Are there some setting to be done on this laptop or I am forgetting something. Please advise.
Thanks

If ur using vista, right click any where on the desktop, not on an icon and go to personalize, xp its called display, go to display settings, then there should be 2 boxes, click on the one with the 2 on it and check the box that says extend my desktop to this monitor. Then hit apply, after that you can change the screen resolution or move it around. After you do this you will be able to move the mouse off the laptop screen and it will be on the extra monitor. If you want to use it as ur main monitor just click the drop down box and select it.

hope that helps
