The ability to have the display show on the laptop and projector
screen at the same time is a function of the laptop.  As Alan pointed
out to me in his reply, that usually requires pressing Fn + another
key on the laptop.  Dig out the laptop manual and see what it says.

We have a very old projector that we use for our children's ministry
and it projects to the screen and on a Dell laptop at the same time.
Even older projectors will work OK depending on the laptop capability.

The chopped off image indicates a problem with resolution.  What is
the maximum resolution of the projector?  If for example, you have the
projector set to use 640 x 480, try changing it to 800 x 600 if
possible.

Perhaps Alan will have some better ideas for you to try.
