How to connect a projector to a laptop?

This guide is meant to help all those who seek your projector to the laptop to connect but it just does not want to work. 

1 Notebook and projector stand up as they should stand later.

Beamer and laptop are still off.

2 Make the cable connections.

Some laptops and projectors still called a DVI connector, this one has a slightly better quality. If such connections are present, between projector and laptop  and a DVI cables are connected. This is done on the same white as the VGA cable. 

So the VGA connector looks.

3 Switch devices

First, turn on the projector and then turn on the laptop, in most cases, the projector then projected the image onto the canvas. If this is not the case, you can try the following.

4 Troubleshooting

- All check cable connections, especially the VGA cable is plugged into the correct socket on the projector (always pay attention to input or input or PC).  

- Check if the projector to the input signal "PC" or "Computer" is set. Many projectors have a button on the cabinet or the remote control where a search can be started. When this button is called Epson for example (source or Search) and looks like this. Now the projector investigated whether a signal is present at the socket or not.

- The most laptops have a hotkey to control the projector. Most need to FN and a further buttons are pressed simultaneously.Depending on the PC are the F5, F7, or F8, which is usually a symbol like the under on the keys. Depending on the manufacture must F. .. Button is pressed for a few seconds or two times pressed successively, that must try and read it.

- After her on double or the FN key + F. .. have pressed allow the projector once again looking for an input signal. 

If it still does not now then you really need to ask someone who knows.

5 Working with the extended desktop

Windows 7

The extended desktop is a great feature leaky it will briefly explain here. If you connect your projector to the notebook is normally your screen simply copied to the screen. That is all see what you are doing, you have on the desktop (your PC) which symbols or what picture. But that can be really stupid at Yugos, presentations or other situations. For the audience to be distracted and  unfocused.  

Since Advanced Desktop helps. In this mode, the PC does not simply copy your screen special shows only what you want.This makes especially in powerpoint or if you work with song Beamer, meaningful. 

With Windows 7, this is done using the command "Connect to a projector make the Start menu, then this window Öfent and you simply select" Extended "from. 

Now you can with PowerPoint or http://www.songbeamer.de/  just start your presentation, and no one sees her as she starts.photos must be clicked with the mouse and placed over the right edge of the screen to the big screen.
