I have a Dell laptop that I use with a projector. Yesterday preparing
for a presentation I did something that made the projector display
monitor 2 and the laptop screen to show monitor 1. I wanted both to
show monitor 1. I know that I use Fn+F8 to toggle the display mode
between screen, projector, or both. If I displayed just on the
projector or just on the screen, it showed monitor 1. When I go into
Display Properties, Settings tab, it shows both monitor 1 and 2 as the
same size. On other laptops it shows a large monitor 1 and a small
monitor 2 and when I hover over monitor 2 it shows as not active. On
the laptop yesterday, it was active. How do I disable the second
monitor so that the projector or external monitor attached to the VGA
port always shows the same as the laptop display?

Thank you

It sounds like it got set to Clone mode. YOu'll have to go into your video
card properties, probably Advanced settings somewhere, since you neglected
to give any useful information, and set it to the proper mode.

Sorry, that's all I can say based on such limited input.
