Why won't the video clip show on the projected screen when I can see it on the computer screen?

It sounds like you may be using a laptop. They have keystoke routines that toggle the video from the screen to a projector. If this is a laptop, on the bottom left side of your keyboard look for a key marked Fn. Hold it down and press and release your LCD key. It will be either F5, F8 or possibly F7. The key shoulld be marked LCD or VGA or both. Keep repeating this procedure till your picture shows up on both screens. Another thing that helps is to have the projector running before you start your machine. If the above doesn't work another possibility is that your video display is set to a higher resolution than the projector can handle. If it's above 1028 X 764 then it's too high. If it's 1024 X 768 then lower it to 800 X 600. Then to 640 X 480 if it's an older projector.

Great job! I had this problem before and couldn't remember how I fixed it. Brain cells lost!
Thank you
