How do you keep your computer screen from going black when you hook up to your projector?

On most laptops there is a function key to use 1. only your laptop monitor, 2. only the external monitor or 3. both laptop and external monitor It is usually a function key that makes you cycle through these options; pressing the key once makes you go from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 or 3 to 1, pressing it twice makes you go from 1 to 3, 2 to 1 or 3 to 2 etc. Please refer to your laptop's user manual. Another method is to use the "display" or "connect to projector" selection in the control panel. If you have Windows seven, before connecting the projector: 1. Open up control panel 2. Search connect to a projector 3. Click the blue text saying: "Connect to a projector" 4. Select Duplicate If you don't have Windows 7 but your provider is Microsoft then search a bit in Control Panel


Can you connect 2 monitor to 1 computer?

No, you cannot, because the one monitor only has enough ports for the wires of one computer. By itself, no you can't. You need what is called a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Monitor) switch, and the necessary cables to make it happen. You can buy KVM switches online or even electronics stores. Prices vary wildly.

How do you connect 2 PCs using large connection at rear of PCs?

For one more details is needed to determain what Port you are talking about is pins male or femail is it a jack or usb port. The only thing i can guess is a serial port and that is (old technoligy) sort of speak but if you can find a cable you just connect the two to gether and find a bridging software. The best to connect through 2 computers is really the ethernet port eaither directly or through a network then you can go into network managment and set up then
