Viewing on external monitor

I feel kind of lame asking this question, but I need an answer, so here it is:

I have an HP laptop with an S-Video out. I am running Windows XP. I have Vegas 7 (and am a brand new user). I want to preview my timeline on an external monitor. I've found the button which allows me to do this. When I plug in my external monitor via S-Video, as usual it mimics what is on my laptop. But, I could not get Vegas to preview anything on the monitor. So then I began messing around by 'Extending my Windows desktop on to this monitor'. Once I did that the preview would open and fill the screen...of my laptop. I could not figure out how to get it to fill the screen of the external monitor.

Any suggestions?
 
Vegas previews via Firewire port. if you plug in your laptop to your monitor via Firewire it should work.
