From what I understand, you want to connect your laptop to an external monitor to extend your total screen space. Right click on the desktop, go to screen resolution, then you should be able to see both your laptop's display options as well as your external monitor's display options. Try changing the "Multiple Displays" option. You can choose from extend these displays and duplicate these displays. The problem may be that this setting is set to show desktop on monitor 1 or 2.
