Here is the deal. Right-click on desktop. Choose settings. Right-click on screen #2. Click on apply for new settings. The one additional problem you may encounter is the fact that the projector will display an area to the right of your laptop screen. In other words, move your mouse past the right edge on laptop screen. Look at projector image. See your mouse?

I think I had a similar problem- are you connecting to the right socket.? The VGA on the 3100MP socket is `VGA out` you might need to connect to the `DVI monitor in` socket ,possibly needing a male DVI connector that connects to a male VGA lead.(Maplins , if you are in UK ,sell one for about £10)

not all computers are F4 - some are F7... - If there is not a small graphic on each Function button - just press and hold your function button and I'd start with F3 then F4 then F5 and so on - often your image will appear on the projection screen and disappear from your laptop - just re press Function and the appropriate key - you may also need to change your display - go to your control panel then display then settings and you will want 1024x768 - as far as cables you will need a male VGA that will plug into (usually blue) connection on your laptop and then depends on what type of projector you are using - it may take a VGA or RGB (5pin cable ~ red green blue horizontal vertical) make sure that in your menu settings that you have it set to the same as the input you have plugged into

Hi,

Hold down Fn and tap F5, you may have to tap F5 a couple of times to get it to switch screens.
