Thank, i tried both methods (rebooting & using the cotrol keys), but none worked. Rebooting, it just went into the regular screen, nothing never appeared in the monitor. Then I tried the function key, the monitor displayed a message saying something like "Out of Sync" (I don't recall the exact message now), and the laptop screen went blank. pressing the function keys once more, it went back to the laptop screen (the crt went blank), but now it was twice the size of a normal screen... only the let half appeared on the screen. pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 brought the screen back to normal. My question now is: should it have worked? or it will it be different with a projector? (I won't have access to a projector untill tomorrow.)
