    If you're using Vista try launching the Windows Mobility Center from the start menu and see if that doesnt help you any.

    Try reducing your screen resolution and refresh rate slightly, might help

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in the advanced display settings.

    Give me the make and model of your laptop, as well as the graphics card in the laptop, if you know it. You're looking for duelview, or something. I know ATI and nVidia cards do it, but I don't think the Intel crap can.

    Alt + F7 switches. It's what it's meant to do.

    Surely you mean Fn + F7?
