Hey all. I've got my Macbook Pro hooked up to my Westy 37'' in clamshell mode (so the laptop is closed). In Vista, the screen will not extend to the fullest part of my monitor, on any side. The reason I wanted this setup was to play BF2 in on my MBP and Westy, however, the display properties show 2 monitors, the closed MBP screen as 2, and the Westy as 1.

The picture isn't as clear as it should be (I've used the setup when I boot to OS X, and it fills the screen just fine and looks great), and I don't really know what the issue could be? I've installed the latest ATI drivers, and the Westy does not have monitor drivers. I just can't figure it out. Has anyone else tried this, or had this problem? Thanks for the help in advance!

P.S. This could be specific to Macs, although I doubt it is. Does anyone else have this issue using a laptop and running it on an external monitor with Vista? Thanks!
