Hi I'd like to have an extended desktop on my laptop where the addtional monitor is above the laptop - does vista support this arrangement - if so how please?

It does.

Plug in the external monitor.

r-click on the desktop > personalize > Display Settings

Click on the external monitor and select 'extend desktop to this display'.

You can now configure it's resolution and drag the image of the external monitor to match it's physical location.

Curiously - when I googled for this before - the answer was no where (not in the traditional 1st 3 pages anyway. I (re-)googled the terms and this page was the top hit... I've done a few screen grabs (may be gilding the Lily) They are here on my agency and staff bank software site: here...
