I have a Toshiba Satellite A135, running Vista Home Premium.

I am trying to connect a Samsung Syncmaster 203b monitor to it, but the

display isn't showing up right on the external monitor,

I get what's on the laptop, but have a black bar across the top & bottom.

Trying different settings in the display properties, I can get the full

screen display on external monitor, but only the toshiba spash screen.

What am I missing,?

    No VGA drivers at Toshiba's site.

    BTW, this laptop has a wide screen. I connected to my no-name laptop (with

    regular "square" screen) & it displayed fine.

    Considering the widescreen display on laptop, will that be a problem, or

    should it display correctly?
