I've checked the steps mentioned here :http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/
wc/document?docname=c01369231&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&prod uct=3653674 ...but
in the Display Settings, the laptop shows one monitor even after
connecting the external display.is this a known issue with the NVIDIA
driver for Geforce 6150 ?

Unless someone has the same model, there's no way to duplicate the setup.

You could post some additional clues... examples;

Can you toggle the monitor on using the <Fn> key?

What is the resolution setting for the monitor in the dualview and what
are the resolutions supported on the external monitor?

can you post screen snap(s) of your extended desktop settings?

I can use the Fn button to use both the monitors independently, but
the windows settings shows only 1 monitor when i press the identify
button

The Three main ways to Setup Multiple Monitors

1) You can replace or add an extra video card to your existing computer,
depending on how many monitors you wish to support. Although this sounds easy
enough, this is a rather complex solution for a beginner, especially when
trying to find a compatible graphics card. For this reason, I am going to
write an entirely seperate post on that topic and will link to it here, very
soon.

2) You can get a USB to VGA Adapter, or USB to DVI Adapter that will allow
you to add an extra monitor to your computer via any USB2.0 Port. You can
also add multiple extra monitors by using multiple adapters. This is a great
option for viewing documents, surfing the web, using Microsoft Office and
many other business tasks. This is not a good option for intense graphical
situations such as HDTV, Blu-ray, Gaming and 3D / CAD Workstation
applications. For those types of scenarios, it is highly recommended that you
purchase a high-powered multi-monitor workstation or a Matrox Dual or Triple
Head2Go.

3) You can buy a pre-manufactured multiple monitor computer. The best place
to purchase a multiple monitor computer is at: http://Multi-Monitors.com.
They carry a multi-monitor computer line called SUPER PC that can support
from 2 to 12 monitors (or more if you ask).

Once you have your multiple monitor system set up and ready to use, you will
need to enable all of your monitors in your “Display Properties� Control
Panel. Here is a great link to a complete and animated walkthrough of how to
enable your multiple monitors in Windows.

Yes, MaxiVista is a really fine solution.
I had been using it the other way around with the Tablet as the input
device under XP.
Unfortunately they sin not yet have a version running under Vista
{siiiigh}.
