Fn + F5 Key for toggle between monitors

I own ACER Travelmate 4602 NWLMi laptop. I have upgrades it to 1GB Ram and
loaded Vista Busniess few months ago, but after this while giving
presentation, the adjustment is done automatically, the Fn+F5 is not working,
it is now in "mirrror mode". For presentation the toggle between projector
and Laptop screen is very important. Kindly help howto enable the Fn+F5
function key.

Re: Fn + F5 Key for toggle between monitors

Create a shortcut that runs 'as administrator' and launches this script file
--F5.vbs--
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.sendkeys "{F5}"
wscript.quit
--end file--
