Could you be a bit more clear about what the initial setup was and what you changed? I don't know what you mean by 'put my 15" back in line'. 15" monitor, external, hooked up with the same cable as the 19"?
Or are you saying the internal monitor works but you can't get an external monitor to work with your laptop?
Also, I am not sure if "6400 series" means anything in and of itself. Usually there is a model name like Inspiron or Optiplex or something. Is it a new laptop or an old one? And you are using a VGA connection, and going to the display setup and selecting Extended Desktop, right?
