Well, that's not the problem.
It's probably the driver that can't handle the external monitor.
I reinstalled the PC this week and in the previous O/S Windows 7 I even had a special application for connecting to projectors.
The device manager could not find any other monitors.
I even tried to restart the machine with the monitor connect but that didn't help.

Hello xercan,
Windows 7 is no problem but I have switched to Windows server 2008 R2.
In that environment I can't connect to an external display.
If anyone have any idea on how to get bluetooth working in this environment that would be helpful.
