S3DuoVue Screen You may not be able to display the notebook LCD screen and an external display or projector at the same time, depending on the types of computer displays and projectors you are using. The CRT option is disabled if an external computer monitor is not connected to the external monitor connector. Turn on the notebook after you turn on the peripheral devices. 67 Change to Current Document Title Using the Dual Display Function (Windows Me only) The dual display function allows you to distribute portions of your desktop across separate displays. For example, if you have an external display attached to the monitor connector, your notebook's LCD display and the external display can function as a single desktop. You can move the cursor from one display and onto the other. This allows you to drag objects, such as an open application window or a toolbar, from one display to the other. This configuration of a single desktop distributed across separate displays is referred to as a virtual desktop.

You can change colors by selecting an option from the Colors list. Use the slider in the Screen area to change the resolution. Click OK to confirm your changes. Customizing the Virtual Desktop You can customize Dual Display mode by changing the position of the two displays that form the virtual desktop. In the Display Properties screen, drag the icons of Monitor #1 or Monitor #2, to a new position that is relative to the other. The two display icons must be connected to create a virtual desktop. Click OK to apply the change. Monitor #1 is preset as your notebook's LCD display and Monitor #2 is preset for external display. Releasing the Dual Display Setting Follow steps 1-4 in the section "Selecting Dual Display Mode" . Right-click on Monitor #2, and then click on Enabled to release the setting. Some software is not compatible with Dual Display mode. 69 Change to Current Document Title 70 Adding Memory Your notebook is equipped with two memory slots, and comes with a 128 MB memory module preinstalled in one of the slots, thus providing 256 MB maximum memory capacity. In the future you may want to install an additional memory module, to expand the functionality of your notebook and increase its data processing speed, especially when several software applications are open at the same time. To upgrade memory, use only PC100(CL2) SDRAM SO-DIMM with gold lead contacts. Related Safety Guidelines Sony recommends that memory upgrades be performed by an authorized Sony Service Center.
