display options:

 

• Computer display only (LCD)

• External monitor only

 

Note: To switch between the computer display and an external monitor, the Win+P key

 

combination is also available.

 

For Windows XP:

 

Switch between the computer display and an external monitor. If an external monitor is

 

attached, computer output is displayed in the following three patterns by turns:

 

• External monitor (CRT display)

 

• Computer display and external monitor (LCD + CRT display

 

• Computer display (LCD)

 

Notes:

 

• This function is not supported if different desktop images are displayed on the computer

 

display and the external monitor (the Extend desktop function).

 

• This function does not work while a DVD movie or a video clip is playing.

 

To enable this function, start Presentation Director, and change the settings.

status indicator stops blinking. Moving the computer when it is entering hibernation might

 

cause corruption of the hard disk drive.

level appears.

the panel for selecting a power scheme appears. If you have logged on with another user ID in
