I am attempting to use my projector as a display for my computer. I have connected my computer to the projector digitally (dvi-hdmi connection from an ati hd4670 on my computer - hdmi cable - hdmi input on projector). My projector is 720p while my computer monitor is 1080. I have different resolution settings for both monitors to adjust it as necessary. No resolution that I have tried will show the image on the projector even though the computer recognizes the projector. For some odd reason, when I restart the computer, the projector will show the beginning boot of the computer on the screen, but then it will go to the blank blue screen once my computer is up and running.

Dell Support has accessed my computer remotely and had no luck and recommended I contacted a SERVICE I would have to pay for.

Any suggestions?

Computer: Dell Studio 540

Projector: Mitsubishi HC1600J2, See if this helps. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/31687-35-projector-laptop truenorthThanks for your help, unfortunately I had no luck. I do not have a function key on my keyboard but I attempted to find other hotkeys that might do the same thing to set it to another display, still to no avail. I make SURE everything is set up, plugged in, projector on before I start my computer.

Attached is a screenshot of what I am SHOWING, as it recognizes the projector but will only display at startup of the computer until it hits bluescreen.



[attachment deleted by admin]Updated drivers, tried different setups, nothing worked via HDMI......there goes a cable.

Connected via Computer DVI - VGA Converter - VGA Cable - VGA Input on projector and received image.

Unfortunately if I have both displays setup upon startup, my computer will attempt to startup but both screens won't show anything. Therefore I have to unplug the DVI from my computer everytime I startup if I want to connect to the projector.

Any suggestions on why the displays are not showing anything and my computer won't start up? It is frustrating as this is a brand new computer.
