Update the drivers from the manufacturer - make sure you have all the
utilities you had installed before reinstalled.

Depending on the laptop manufacturer, you should be able to press a key sequence such as Fn+F4 on a HP/Compaq OR Fn+F8 on a Dell to toggle through the different "screen modes" such as LCD only, Ext Monitor only or BOTH.
Do as the others suggested first & install the latest drivers from the manufacturer, reboot & try my suggestion.
Good luck!!
