Your projector is a second monitor to the computer, most likely you have the screens duplicated instead of extended.
Right-click on your desktop, somewhere where there are no icons... a menu will pop up, choose Display Settings.
Look for the settings for multiple displays and choose the option from Duplicate to Extend these displays.
This should then show both monitors in the image at the top as being side by side. Make sure the laptop is the primary display.
You may have to restart your computer, but when you launch your presentation you should find that the laptop is now in presenter mode.
Charles - does the laptop have an alternate function button that allows for different displays? Similar to the presentation mode, this will manually tell the laptop to use either the native screen, an extension screen (the projector or monitor) or both. Typically this is triggered with the Function (Fn) button and maybe one of the F7 keys at the top. You'll see writing on it that will say LCD/CRT or have a little box like a monitor. Let me know if this helps!

Hi!
The Presentation Mode feature is NOT included in windows 7 starter, but only in Professional or above editions. (Some reviews about Home Premium say it is included also in this edition but that's not the case).
Instead of presentation mode I use another software, it's a small program called Caffeine (what it does is best described by it's name: it keep the computer "awake", not entering screen saver or standby).
A download link for you is here:

Hope it helped,
