Heeeeelp The screen on my laptop is broken, so I've plugged in an external monitor (that is bigger). But the screen isn't totally filled- it's only as big as the laptop screen was. Is it possible to set it up to fill the external monitor?→[More:]I tried messing with settings but nothing was working.

NEVER MIND, somehow I managed to do it. I have no idea how.

Now I'm using POP to download all my e-mail ever to retrieve the last week of messages. 10,000+ e-mails to get... what, 100? 200? Oh, the lulz.

In case you didn't try it...

Right Click desktop.
Properties.
See the slider which says what the resolution of the screen is?
Move it forwards and press Apply.

Also... Restart the laptop with the monitor ?

seanyboy I've been meaning to ask you, who's this seanyboy? He looks like an extra of thirtysomething.

He's not me. I've no idea.

(Typical. Call yourself seanyboy, and suddenly everyone assumes you know all the other seanyboys. Like we live in a big seanyboy mansion. We're all different you know.)

Meh, if you've seen one seanyboy, you've seen them all ;-)

Would it help if that other seanyboy is semi-hot?
(not as hot as you, dear seanyboy, god forbid, just "extra in thirty-something/desperate housewives" kind of hot)
