Secondary Monitor shows desktop only



When I connect my laptop to my new Sylvania Plasma monitor as the
secondary monitor, only my desktop image shows up. The only exception
is that when I played a DVD in the DVD player of my laptop, the image
was fine. But otherwise, the secondary monitor shows the desktop image
only.
Both monitors show up when I look at Display Properties/Settings and
in the Display box, I have selected 1. (Multiple Monitors) on NVIDIA
GeForce 4 420 Go 32M.
How can I get my secondary monitor working correctly?
