    Macbook + Vista + External LCD

    After doing some searching, I still haven't found an answer, so I hope the Sharks can help. I can't get the Macbook to work in Vista and my external LCD. Is this a driver problem or am I doing something wrong?

    Let's start at step 1... so you CAN get Vista to load and boot off Macbook itself?

    I've been using Vista for a couple of weeks under Boot Camp. My problem is I can't get the LCD to display off of the Macbook (mirror). I think it's a driver problem since Vista is so new but maybe it's not.

    Well, can you get a hold of another monitor for you to rule that out?

    I don't think it's the monitor since it works fine in OSX. I just had to adjust the resolution.
