Trouble getting the program to show from projector to the hitting screen

[Stingreye]

Are you getting any picture on any of the options when you cycle through them? (Extend or duplicate or only monitor 2)?

I am not familiar with your projector, but I would make sure you are on the correct input for the projector. you can hook up a DVD player or another device and verify the input works and you have it set correctly.

the other part I would do to test if it's not too difficult, hook the tv back up to your laptop and see if you can get the tv to work. If you can get the Tv to work then you will be comfortable with the steps you need to do for the projector.

check and see what graphics card you have and see if there are any updates for it or the computer, look and see if the is a frys around to run it in they will get it running other then that a round trip ticket to your computer for someone to come look at it

Thank you all for the information about getting my cascade windows back. Aeroburner, there wasn't a box that said project when I clicked on the icon in the lower right corner. There we several other boxes but not one that said project. Stringreye, I was able to shortcut and get the project panel up and I cycled down to extend but nothing happened. I tried it and when it was highlighted I hit enter but still nothing changed. Thank you all for trying to help me, is there anything else I can do to fix my problem?

Use the shortcut key. Holds the windows key button on the keyboard and press the p key to cycle through clone, extend etc. Try it the different ones. Hopefully it will detect the second monitor/ projector

I just sent you a private message. If you have teamviewer installed on your computer I could most likely resolve this in under 3 minutes.

on the main window screen with nothing open you will right click the mouse and there will be a display setting or your graphics card control panel in there you can detect what is hooked up once you show both being detected you can close window and there will be in the right hand lower corner by the clock you will have like a square with a point on the bottom click on that look for projects click that and select duplicate that should get both up and running, if I am missing anything let me know or someone in the forum will fill in the blanks hope that helps

You need to clone / duplicate the screens if you want them both to show the same image.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I disconnected everything from my lap top and started it up but I still only have 1 screen. Yes I am running windows 10. I don't know if I am running the display through the graphics card or not. How do I check that? Sorry for being non computer smart. I like to play golf! Thanks again

[aeroburner]

its cool try turning off the computer and pulling the hdmi and vga and plugging back in turn computer back on see if that gets them to be identified go to duplicate again and see if that works, a couple questions are you running your displays through your graphics card correct and are you using windows 10?

[babyboomerboy]

aeroburner, I guess I spoke too soon. Somehow I have lost the cascade of two screens on my computer. When I right click on my desktop and click on display settings all I have is 1 screen and no longer have the choice of switching to screen 2 or extending or duplicating. And of course the screen I have doesn't work with my projector.... I am sorry to bug you with my stupid mistakes but for the life of me I don't know what I did or how it happened. Did I tell you I am an old retired fart living in a world far past my time?

[aeroburner]

Aeroburner, Thinman, and BGGCurtis2nd, thank you, thank you, thank you. You have gotten me up and running. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your knowledge. It has really helped me. This will move my Sim forward and get it to look the way I was hoping. Thanks again. Now the carpeting and I should just about be finished. Just in time for some Kansas winter.

[Thinman]

sounds like you are extending, which is fine. drag something up/down/left/right and see if you can 'find' the other screen...

[BGCurtis2nd]

This should help.
