Projector problem

Hi,

I need your help. When I connect my Inspiron laptop to my projector, the image displays perfectly on the wall, but the screen of my laptop is blank!
Can anyone help? It is much harder to navigate this way.

Thanks!

Thanks Ken!! Unfortunately I am a bit thick with computers - can you tell me in more detail? What is the Win key? Will options come up on the display on the wall or on my laptop screen?

Re: Projector problem

I'm sure Ken has it down. I always use the Function (Fn) key in conjunction with the CRT key (that's on one of the top numbers - it may vary). This toggles from pc only, output video only, both pc and output.

The Win key Ken mentioned is the key with the Microsoft logo on it. Usually bottom left of keyboard.
