I have been trying to mirror a second monitor to a laptop - a Dell Inspiron 8100 - running WinXP Home edition. I can connect the second monitor and extend the desktop using the standard display panel, but I can't seem to get it to mirror the laptop screen onto the CRT monitor. Is this possible using WinXP?
