I have an external display connected to my laptop. I want to temporarily "freeze" the display on the external display, such that I can continue to use the laptop without changing the display on the external display.

What's the best way to go about doing this?

Acer Aspire 4937G / Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

What about a program that makes a screen-shot and then opens it? Would that be a "freeze" as you want it? – Robert Sep 8 '11 at 11:04

Use the extend mode instead of the clone mode.

Then, put whatever you want to display on the external monitor, and continue using the laptop monitor
