Laptop and data projector

    I connected my laptop to a data projector with a cable at work but the screen on the laptop then goes blank. What should be visible on the laptop screen does appear alright on the whiteboard. Can I do something to stop my laptop screen going blank like this when I connect it to the data projector ?

    Yes if you have Windows you can set it either in Windows Display properties (right-click on desktop and choose display properties), some laptop models also have a "hotkey" for this, e.g. Function-F8. You can then rotate between using just the projector, both at the same time, or having them as 2 separate screens (different content on both projector and laptop display). The latter can be handy when you give a powerpoint presentation: You can put up your notes on the built-in screen and have the slides fullscreen on the projector.

    If you can specify the exact laptop model it'd be easier to figure out which key combo it is.

    On a Mac it's in the system settings, Display panel.
