I have an HP laptop and an external LCD. Windows 7 is configured for dual monitor extended operations. When I first set it up the dual monitor works fine; however when I shutdown windows 7 and use my laptop in stand-alone mode the monitor remains blank. When I plug in the external LCD the desktop display on the LCD monitor only. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Try using the Windows+p hotkey and see what that does.

Did you try to cycle monitor outputs between Notebook only / Both / External only ? It is a keyboard kombination, often Fn-F8 (at least on my Dell) ?
