i have hp 8740 with nvidia 3800m i want to have 3 displays, 2 external monitors and laptop monitor.

I am able to use 2 monitors and the laptop screen is blank, or use 1 monitor and laptop but not 2 monitors and laptop at the same time.  If I try I get the error "This GPU supports up to 2 displays".

 

Is there anyway I can get all 3 monitors working (preferrably without extra hardware/money involved)?

Well, no other option without $$$ and hardware

Are there any others, we have an IT department and they may have some of the stuff, but I am sure we do not have those.
