Extending laptop onto dual displays using PR03X docking station
I have a user with a Dell E5430 laptop and a Dell E-Dock PR03X docking station using Windows 8.1. This docking station has 2 monitors.
One is a widescreen VGA monitor, and it works perfect with the laptop attached.
I also have a second standard size Dell Monitor using DVI, but Windows 8.1 wont allow me to extend desktop to this 3rd monitor. When I select the third display from the Display settings, extend the monitor and click apply, it fails everytime. But I know the docking station sees the monitor connected because it powers off when i shut down the laptop.
Can someone help me fix this so both external displays extend the laptop screen correctly?

You must disable the internal screen -- you can only drive two displays at a time.

Thanks! I found that another model is available that supports multiple screens so I will look into that instead. I appreciate the help!
