Hi everyone,

I need to make a PRESENTATION using a projector which uses a VGA CABLE from laptop down to the projector plug in the wall (it's mounted on the ceiling).  Other laptops work fine and the projected picture is fantastic, but with mine the picture does show eventually however it's distorted and has some slight colour issues, and any change in my desktop will take a while to reflect on the projected image.  The projected image is also static(no motion) 99% of the time.

I've tried different cables with no improvement, and VGA is the only option.  I also know that my laptop uses VGA perfectly with my external monitor at home.

I'm using a Windows 7 HP Pavillion DV5 laptop with an NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT graphics card which has an up to date driver.


What on earth is going on??
Any help to get a clear image will be hugely appreciated!

Thank you,
MarkTry and change the resolution for the VGA output to the projector.

If this provides no change, check the refresh rate for the output to the projector.It can take some effort to find the refresh rate. Often it is not listed directly in the options. You haven to look for a things that says "show all modes" or something to tat effect.  In Windows  XP it is DISPLAY properties, settings, advanced, adapter, modes.Thanks guys, makes sense - I'm at the venue again just prior to the meeting so unfortunately I don't have much time to troubleshoot but I'll give it my best shot.  At least I've got a few more things to do on so fingers crossed!
