Once it's connected, you may need to enable it (setting in your graphic card's control panel). If given the option at this time, enable it as an "extended" monitor. Once it's enabled, you should see an image on the monitor. Now, you should see both the laptop and the monitor in the graphic card's control panel. If you right-click on the monitor, your should be able to set it as "Primary".

These are just general steps, but should steer you in the right direction. I can't get more detailed without actually having your laptop.
