HDMI to vga adapter help!!!!.Think i can help on this one
Best thing to do is, load up laptop as normal so desktop is on your laptops screen.
Then connect the hdmi cable via the adapter to your monitor
Then go to your desktop settings to where it shows the monitor displays.
then you can check the settings for the monitor on the laptop, as you may find that the native display needs to be altered which you obviously can't do while on the monitor because desktop is not on screen it to far left.
It can take a bit of tweaking but it best way of doing it, had to do that for my mates laptop to his tv.
Should get 3 options: Laptop display, mirror display, monitor display.
If you get constant problems you can't fix, you can do the mirror display and close laptop lid most times then it will in theory default to monitor, if you go into the power settings and turn off the suspend when lid closed feature
