I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Home & Office that I recently decided to restore to factory settings to see if that would resolve some speed issues I have been having (FYI, it didn't). Prior to doing this, I never had any issues with the external monitor that I keep connected to it 100% of the time--when the laptop would go to sleep after a period of disuse, I could resume it and the external monitor (a HP w2207h) would light up with the desktop filling the screen as it is set up to do. Now, however, when I wake the laptop from sleep I get a warning that the settings are out of bounds and advising that I should adjust my screen resolution. When I then go to display settings in the control panel I see that the external monitor and laptop screen are set to "duplicate". The only way I seem to be able to get the external monitor to work correctly is to choose "Show Desktop Only on 2", but then when the computer goes to sleep that gets forgotten. Given that the laptop stays closed the entire time I use it, what is the correct way to set this up so that I don't have to reset the screen setting each and every time I start the laptop from sleep??
