Sometimes you have to enable the laptop's VGA port. There may be an icon somewhere on the keyboard that looks like a computer monitor. Usually there's an "Fn" or "function" key that you hold down, and then press other keys to do specialized laptop things, like adjusting the brightness, turning the wireless radio on / off, or switching the video display mode. For example, this button will likely switch between laptop LCD only, external display only, and dual display. Further configuration of dual display mode is usually done through the video driver within Windows.
What type of graphics processor does your laptop have? You should be able to see this when you try to change your desktop resolution.
