Help with Powerpoint Presentation, please

I have to learn Powerpoint pretty damned quick - and I am a Luddite. Just got the hang of the Morse Key and the pigeons, to be honest.
I have got some of the basics, but need to know:
1, Photos. How do you guarantee good resolution from, say, Google Photo Library? Even selecting 'Extra Large' doesn't seem to give good enlarged picture on screen.
2. Projector. How do I make the computer (Dell Laptop) accept the projector as a second monitor? I've tried Fn+F8
3. Presenters Notes. How do I have my notes available for me to read, but not have them appear on the projected image? I saw a presenter using this last week, but he was so quick in trying to explain to me that I missed the keystrokes required. It seemed like he had his Laptop screen split into 2 halves: photos on the left and his commentary on the right, but only the photos displayed on screen. I'm Using Powerpoint 2003.
I have looked at the Microsoft website for help and even bought a 'Learn Direct' on-line tutorial thingy, but I'm still not far away from the starting blocks. I'm sure some of my query is blindingly obvious -- when you know how!
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.
