Anyone else had issues with projection truncations or input problems when using Dell laptops with Win 2000? Is it the video driver or is it something worse? Software people say it is the projectors problem while LCD manufacurers aren't buying that Any opinions/ Thanks

Ive had some of the same problems. It will be really easy if you have the GeForce 2 card in the dell laptop. Chances are that you need to go into your control panel, then into video. When you scavenge around in there you should be able to find a place thats allows you to "clone" your screen into the lcd projector. The option will not say that exactly, but it says "Clone desktop onto Seperate Monitor" and then choose the type of monitor to be a projector. Hope that helps

It also give you another option to clone in a horizontal or vertical fashion, choose the one that duplicates the monitor and doesnt extend it.

Our video guys have had this problem for a couple of years when matching monitor output to a projector. Their workaround is to use a powered splitter instead of the "sharing" cable that came with the projector. They have standardized on an Extron unit that works well with our computers and their projectors.
