*Shirley that is a lot of complication that should not be necessary. Once you set up the screen to extended desktop you should simply be able to minimize windows and unplug.

Most sites have monitors at their office that the laptops can be plugged into to make more screen space available.

This should only need to be set up once, your laptop should revert to the most recent settings when the same monitor is plugged in again in the future.

Instructions

To set up/modify screen settings, e.g. related to extended desktop, do the following:

  • click the "Intel(R) HD Graphics" Icon on the task bar:

File:Screen settings.png

  • click "Graphics Options", then "Output to", then "Extended Desktop", then choose the order of entries that best matches how your laptop monitor and your external monitor are arranged on your desk. Don't choose "clone", it will show the same on both the laptop and the external screen, which is not very useful.
    • Now you can Clik and DRAG whatever site you want to open up.

Extra instructions

And if that doesnt work you can do this. HOW TO MAKE A SPLIT SCREEN WITH 2 DIFFERENT SITES

  1. Right clik
  2. Clik PERSONALIZE
  3. At the bottom left side clik DISPLAY (if not there clik change display settings)
  4. Should have a picture identify 1 and 2
  5. Go into multiple display
  6. Enter EXTEND THESE DISPLAYS
  7. APPLY
  8. OK
  9. NOW THAT THIS IS COMPLETED YOUR LAPTOP SHOULD HAVE ALL THE ICONS AND THE BIG SCREEN SHOULD HAVE JUST A PICTURE OF THE FLAG WITH YOUR USER NAME AND EHEALTH AND LAPTOP ID IN LEFT LOWER CORNER or whatever your screen saver is.
  10. OPEN up for example EPR enter password once information is up minimize the information and drag it to the big screen monitor.
