The toggle should toggle out of dual screen mode if that's what she's in.

Well, I am stymied. I push fn and F8 and "Presentation Mode is OFF" and 'No external display is attached." I selected for Pre mode to be on. I suspect it has everything to do with the dock. I will try pluggging the monitor in directly (which will defeat the purpose of mobility)....

Also, I can see the mousepointer when I move it off the screen of the laptop on the monitor. So clearly, I think I've missed some instruction, or it's the dock.

In any case, hard wired to the modem, which sped things up a great deal

The wireless keyboard and mouse are a tad sluggish

Go to your display settings - if two monitors are displayed uncheck the "extend the desktop onto this monitor" box
