Duel monitor setup on laptop - clone desktop

I would suspect a corrupt CPL file in the Control Panel. Look for some special dispaly or settings app created just for that type
laptop. See if you can reinstall it.

I don't know what your laptop might have. There should be a setup utility for the laptop that might repair it.
