Having used DELL for years I have been able to Fn F8 to toggle between my laptop screen / digital projector only / laptop screen and digitalprojector. I need this for mywork presenting PowerPoint presentations

What a shame I cannot do the same with the Fn F7 facility on my 3000 laptop. I have linked the projector to the laptop changed the display properties and can only get the background screen and none of the controls, programmes , see the mouse icon etc. when I click Fn F7 the digital projector picture disapears and can only be returned if I go back to display properties

what am I doing wrong or do I have a duff laptop??

I have the same problem. Only the blank desktop no controls or

open programs - no nothing. This cant be true? 

Try 2 things:

1) Clone display in laptop and projector, all that controls here shows same on projector

2) Extended display (shows blank desktop), run presentation, restore, drag from laptop to projector desktop and maximize there, I do this method for videos

1. I set all properties alike. Is that clone?

2. I use Danish language and I don't understand 'presentation' - is it identification?,

and restore? - I didn't find anything like that? 

I am using a second monitor for test at the moment.

On my Fujitsu I just need to set the videocard choice as 'Multiple monitors'.

Here I am only allowed to choose either

1. Primary monitor, or

2. Secondary monitor.

Does this explain anything?

thanks for your help.
