The scoring table is showing the same things as what’s displayed on my laptop.
How do I make the table show what’s on my laptop?
How do I make the table not show what’s on my laptop?
- On your laptop’s desktop, open the program called “Display Switch Menu”. It will open up a new window with the options, “PC Screen Only”, “Duplicate”, “Extend”, “Second Screen Only”.
- Choose the Extend option. Your scoring table and laptop should now have different displays. Use Extend mode for games when you do not want the audience to see what’s on your laptop.
- Choose the Duplicate option. Your scoring table and laptop should now have the same displays. Use Duplicate option for practices and watching game film. The audience will see exactly what’s on your laptop as you work.
- If you have any problem, try rebooting your computer. It will clear out any bad settings and reset everything back to normal.
