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... @_@!

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