Is it possible to clone display on an external monitor in Windows XP only using drivers shipped with Windows? I know, it is possible with drivers shipped by NVIDIA, ATI/AMD or Intel, I know. But all my efforts led only to enlarging virtual screen to two monitors or to setting the main monitor, but not cloning

From past experience, if you are able to get it to extend your screen to a second monitor (enlarging it), you can easily change the settings to achieve a mirror or cloning effect.

To accomplish this, either hit Win + P and hold it to see a settings menu where you can change the current setup, or go to the Control Panel and change it there.

skip drivers, if you just want to clone, make this a hardware question. vga splitters are whoa cheap (link text), and s-video/etc. splitters are also available.
