I'm at work--I have no prob getting the projector to project what's on MY laptop, but I can't project from the (identical) workplace laptop. Do I have to change the image output in the work one? How? I tried it with both computers, so I know it's something with the workplace computer, not with a cable or anything.

Muchos gracias.

Did you try holding down Fn key then pressing F8 or F7 key. Well, I guess it depends on which brand laptop you have. Usually, you have to hold down the Fn (function) key and then press one of the F keys on top of the keyboard. It will usually have an icon of two monitors. It works like this:

- Hit once - image goes out video port on back of laptop only
- Hit twice - image goes to video port and LCD screen of laptop
- Hit three times and image goes back to LCD only

Hope you're not at work still and you read this tomorrow.
