make sure that the you have the correct input per signal. rgb and component seem the same to the projector, but have different signals. reset the settings to factory default and select the correct input and match the resolution.

You probably have to tell the laptop to send a video signal to an external display--(i.e. <altF4 or <altF8) The proper function key will have a TV screen symbol on it. Default mode is "laptop only" By pressing and holding the alt, then pressing the appropriate function key, the laptop will switch to the next mode, laptop/external display. The last mode is external display only. By pressing the sequence again, you'll return to "laptop only" mode.

go to your computer properties and set it to have dual moniters, i dont exactly remember how to do this, just google how to set your computer for dual moniters on vista or XP or what ever OS you have then be sure that you have the cable from the computer to the projecter secured and be sure its in the "IN" slot. Good Luck

This is an SVGA projector with a max resolution of 800X600. Even though it can accept higher resolution signals, they are scaled down to 800X600 which causes degradation and artifacting of the displayed image. Obviously setting your computer's resolution to 800X600 will result in the best image the projector is capable of. Standard definition video (480i, 480p, S-Video or composite) signals should also display very well. High definition signals like 720p and 1080i get scaled down to 800X600 with the same issues as a higher resolution computer signal.

One thing that can have a dramatic impact on the quality of your display if you are using Windows XP or Vista is tuning your ClearType settings here:

First make sure your signal cable is ok and well connected.
Next check the projector input settings in the menu, and confirm that you have the correct input selected.
Also make sure your Laptop display settings allow for an external monitor.

please start your computer first and then the projector- use function key with f4 or f6 or f7 or f5-and select computer from input of the projector.
