Redirect of Laptop LCD to an External Monitor

I have an old IBM Thinkpad which still has many programs and files I would like to use. I began experiencing problems with the LCD going blank at times so I set the diplay to both LCD and External Monitor. I had not used it in a while, and when I booted up the laptop today, Windows 98 booted OK, but at the point where the Windows 98 Logo and music come on, both the LCD on the Thinkpad and the screen on my external monitor are blank. Is there any sequence of keystrokes I can use once Windows 98 is loaded to access the Control Panel, then Display, and then select dual or external monitor?
