Projector question.

I've linked up my laptop (Packard Bell Easy Note Windows XP) to the works projector, and as we speak, I'm typing and simultaneously viewing my prose on the blinds in the lounge.

To do so, I've had to press [Fn] and [F5], but the laptop screen has gone off.

A couple of questions:

a) can I switch both views on

b) If my nurdy mate wanted to fly a plane with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 could he possibly split the instrument view from the window view to the instument view easily?

I think you'll find that if you press the same combination again it will rotate between laptop only / projector only / both showing the same screen / projector as extension to laptop screen. You can also go to "appearance and personalization" in control panel for various settings relating to 2nd monitors (projectors).
