Title: C79EGMST CreationDate: 02/10/98 09:24:42 Frequently Asked Questions Why do I not get the highest possible resolution out of my external monitor when I am using the LCD and external monitor at the same time? You can set any resolution for either the ThinkPad LCD or the external monitor. When you use both at the same time, the resolution of both is the same. If you set a higher resolution for the ThinkPad LCD, you can see only part of the screen at a time. You can see other parts by moving the image with the TrackPoint or other pointing device. You can change the display output type to the LCD, external monitor, or both with the Display Device buttons of the ThinkPad Configuration program or with Fn+F7. You can set up the external monitor as follows: 1 Double-click on My Computer, Control Panel; then Display. 2 Click on the Properties... button. The "Display Properties" window appears. 3 Click on the Settings tab. 4 Click on Advanced Properties. 5 Click on Monitor. 6 Click on the Change button. 7 Select Show All Devices. 8 Select Manufacturers and Models in the next window. 9 Click on OK; then Close. 10 Set Color palette and Desktop area in the "Display Properties" windows. 11 Click on OK. 108 IBM ThinkPad 600 User's Reference
