    Need help switching from my Laptop monitor to regular CRT

    Hey all, just found these forums so let me just say hi first

    I just reinstalled vista on my laptop, whose screen is completely destroyed except for one little corner and i was able to do most of it through using the magnifier. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to change my primary monitor to my CRT that is plugged in. Never had this problem with XP. Can anyone help me out?

    Thanks,
    -Brian

    There are several vendors that sell replacement laptop screens at reasonable
    prices. They are not difficult to install.
