Most projectors have a freeze button. This allows you to freeze the projected image and continue working on your computer. That way your students see one screen shot, whilst you work on something else.
Image clarity in Windows 7
If you want to make sure that the image on your screen or projector is optimal type cttune.exe into the start menu’s search box. Open the cttune program. You then get a series of screens that shows you a variety of different versions (altered by clarity) of the same text. You select the version that looks the best and head to the next page. Once completed your screen will adjust and display will be best suited to what selections you made.
