Windows 8 cannot use extended display

in Off-Topic
Hey all. I just upgraded my Lenovo laptop (T430) to windows 8, and I'm having a crazy time trying to get the extended display to work properly off the dock. Whenever I switch to extended, it ends up turning off hte display on the laptop itself, and the external monitor flashes on the lower part of the screen. I have updated my video drivers to the windows 8 version and can work just fine off of the laptop itself. Any advice on how to get this to work properly?

This is the error message I'm getting now, messing around with it a bit.

You're going to need the Nvidia drivers, if so.

Always do a fresh install of Windows 8, do not do an upgrade from 7 as it will mess with a few of the settings/drivers and give you some sort of a headache. Works like a charm now and I'm pleasantly happy with 8 and how it's working now, as well as very happy with Office 2013.
