sync up after pressing it.

If the function key doesn’t let you display simultaneously on both screens, you might

LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. From the Windows Control Panel,
open the

Display

utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the

Settings

tab,

computer; you may need to click a

Monitor

tab, then make sure the external Monitor

port is set as your primary display or enabled. See your computer manual or online help

System Preferences

utility and select

If you’re displaying the same image on your computer and projector screen, try turning
off your laptop’s LCD display (see page 71).
