Need some help..

[Hessah]

For anyone that's extremely bored...

At work we've got a Toshiba TDP-P8 model projector that we've never used.

We're trying to connect it to a laptop (Windows XP)..

I've plugged in the VGA cable in, and also the USB cable into the laptop + projector...

The Projector wouldnt recognise the computer..

What can I do?

No, I can't really help you. Last time I tried to plug a projector into my computer, it caused my computer to flash every time it loads a full-screen game now... @_@!

LOL

It should be like AUTOMATIC

why isnt it working ~.~

But this is fun so I dont mind trying to get it working...

First, press F8.... if that doesn't work, hit the laptop with sledgehammer, repeat.....

[Hessah]

wat does F8 do?

Actually I got it running the projector as 2nd monitor..

but I dont know how to get a powerpoint slide show to show on the 2nd screen...

more help?

Drag the PowerPoint window to the second screen. Or set it to mirror your main desktop.

wat does F8 do?

It's called a joke.......

how do i make it mirror my main screen?

I wonder if i plugged the projector in properly, i usually see projector project wats on the computer screen, not act as a 2nd screen O_o

It's called a joke.......

aw i thought it was some magical key that would just make all my problem go away~

No, that's what the sledgehammer is for.

Some laptops cannot display the same image on both screens, so it's either one or the other. For my Acer laptop, to switch to a projector, I need to press Fn + F5. Try it.
