HP Recommended
Product: ZBook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have 2 monitors and an HP docking station on my desk.  Many times a day I have to undock and go to a conference room to run meetings.

 

When using a projector, if I connect to my ZBook with the VGA cable I am able to duplicate perfectly.  I see the same thing on the projector screen as I see on my laptop screen.  

 

But when I connect with an HDMI cable the projector screen acts as a second monitor and doesn't duplicate what's on my main screen.  I have to drag the file that I want to project off of my laptop screen and onto the projector screen.  So I'm not able to duplicate, but have to make any changes to the projected file while looking at the projector screen.  

 

So the question is why is the VGA connection doing exactly what I want and the HDMI connection not?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!
