    Hi,
    What isn't fitting properly ?
    The connection or the screen size ?

    vga to vga works fine all you need to possibly do is connect the two and use Winkey+P keys
    Select duplicate displays

    Hi,
    Okay lower the resolution and see what happens,
    Right click the desktop back ground and click on screen resolution
    Post what it was set on and lower it
    Or use windows snap
    Snap a Window to a Side

    Not sure what you mean there's no monitor socket ?
