    I have a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop that I use at the office. At work I sit it in the docking station and work off two large dual monitors. When I bring my laptop home the laptop boots up but I'm unable to do anything with it. I'm not sure if its due to the screen display or what. I need my laptop to work off the docking station and do not have access to the docking station until Monday. Is there anyway I can reset the display? Thanks.

    So it will boot up to a "blue screen", can't find the mouse?
    Boot into safe mode, you can change the resolution there & reboot - or remove the display and reboot.

    If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
