Toshiba Satellite Pro A40. External Monitor problem - help needed km 09-15-2007

When connected to a n external monitor there is DOS Boot Up
information shown and WinXP loading screen but after that all that
appears is the Desktop image with no icons and nothing of what is
being done on the Laptop screen.

When checking which monitor is which the Number 2 comes up on the
remote screen. Clearly a signal is passing between the Laptop and
external monitor but can anyone suggest the way to solve this problem?

Have posted this message in Toshiba Forums but activity in this
Newsgroup is higher.

Will clarify that it shows only the Desktop BMP image not even the
taskbar at the bottom.
