I have a HP 17in laptop running XP and used to be able to attach a second monitor which displayed my desktop.

I then needed to extend my desltop and was talked through the changes, now I need to revert back to one desktop duplicated on second monitor.

been into properties clicked on monitor 2, unchecked `extend desktop to this monitor`, apply etc, second desktop goes off then back on but nothing changes. Unchecking this appears to just disable the second monitor.

Basically I want to go from having one desktop across both screens to having my laptops desktop duplicated on the second monitor as it used to be.

Anyone se what I am missing?

Thanks
