Switch Screen - Broken Laptop

Solved

Hello everyone, I'm having a big issue today.

The screen of the laptop I'm using is broken and unreadable; I managed to switch to a fixed screen using the fn+f5 shortcut.

So far, so good, until I wanted to change the resolution.
At the same time, I tried (why?) to set it to extended display... And then, the drama.
It switched back to the laptop screen, and the fixed one went to sleep.

Since then, on startup, it begins on the fixed screen, and when Windows opens, it switches to the laptop screen and the fixed one goes to sleep. I've tried fn+f5 without success.

My question is, is it possible in the BIOS (F2 when the PC starts), since it's visible on the fixed screen, to choose which screen Windows should launch on?

Thank you for your help!

Configuration: iPad / Safari 1.0b

    Hello,
    Press Fn + F3 or, depending on the brand of the laptop: Fn + F4, but be careful, this shortcut only works with dual screen mode = clone mode but not with extended display.

    Hello, thank you for your response, but no, this workaround doesn't work.
    For your information, the PC is a Toshiba.

    Is it not possible through the BIOS?
    I've searched a lot, and I feel like it's not... I'm losing hope.

    Waiting for other ideas, :/
    Thank you.

      Thank you for your response, but I didn't understand what you meant. And I am on Windows XP.
      Thank you

    Problem solved, under the BIOS, press F8 to display the startup options, safe mode, etc., and choose "start in VGA mode"

    Thanks to those who tried to provide me with a solution.

    Best regards,
