right , i'm assuming that your issue is that you are only able to operate 1 separate screen along with internal laptop screen , if you set the laptop display options to not turn the laptop to sleep mode when you close the lid , the second monitor will power up.
( this setting strangely under windows 7 are in the power options in control panel)
the reason for this is usually laptops are only capable of driving two screens of the internal GPU .
to get around this you will need to offload some of the output to a device such as
