HP mini 2140 notebook does not recognize external monitor

My HP mini 2140 doesn't recognize an external monitor. The green hill and clouds picture is there, but not my desktop. How do I resolve this?
Thanks
Donna

An update on my question: How do I make the external monitor primary with the HP mini 2140?
Thanks,
Donna

Hi Donna, right click on a free space on you desktop and goto 'screen resolution'. On that page you can choose to clone the desktop (same display on both) or extend the desktop (like it is probably now). You can also change which one is first and which second. Start with setting the clone mode.
