disconnect the cable at the projector end and plug into a monitor to check that the video signal is enabled on the cable. If it is then reconnect to the projector and select a lower resolution on the pc screen setting. See if anything appears on the projector
hi, How do u do??
You must select the right resolution for your monitor, if you tell me the exact model name, I will tell you which resolution is best for your monitor. usually the last option in resolution list (windows resolution setting) is the prefect one, but sometime it's not correct.

Check the cable, to make sure that it's plugged into the monitor and the computer. After that restart the computer - some computers only detect monitors right when it turns on.
Disconnect the monitor cable from the computer tower, turn on the monitor, if no display available, the monitor gone bad, else if getting message " Check video cable", either the data cable for connecting the monitor to the tower needs to be changed or the motherboard needs to be tested thoroughly.
Assuming you have not changed the connection to your monitor (from VGA to DVI signal, for example), or that you have not messed around with the display settings, further below may be the situation. Else, you need to access your LCD menu and choose the other type of input SIGNAL.
It appears your display adapter is set to a different refresh frequency or resolution, either accidentally or due to some power glitch.
If you cannot set the resolution because this message is preventing you from getting to the display settings window, try rebooting your PC in Safe Mode. It'll take a while longer than usual, but when you're finally running, try setting your display adapter to a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels at 60Hz settings. This is available under "Advanced->Adapter->List all modes".
To reboot in safe mode, try pressing the PF8 keys repeatedly after the POST messages disappear just after turning the power on. This only works if this key is enabled to operate from the BIOS settings.
To get to the BIOS setup, Look at the first messages displayed on your screen indicating what key to press. It's usually the Delete or PF2 key, but different BIOS manufacturers use different keys.
Once inside the BIOS setup, find the way to enable the PF8, PF9, PF10, etc keys. Save your settings and reboot.
Now you may try PF8 again to go to Safe Mode.
If your PC is Ok, then you may try setting your monitor to a higher resolution, taking care not to exceed the maximum values, as stated on the user's manual.
Good Luck!
Your monitor is operating normally. After Windows starts it is setting the video resolution to something outside of the monitor's range. That's why you see the Windows splash screen, then the message from the monitor about the settings. Most likely the computer was used before with a monitor that had a wider range of resolutions available.
Restart the computer. When the manufacturer's logo screen appears, press the F8 key three or four times. This should get you a startup menu screen. Pick the option of starting in VGA mode, and Windows will start with video settings that your monitor supports.
You have to set the resolution on your computer's monitor to the minimum required to run the software. To do this, go to your desktop (no programs showing) and right click in an empty area on the desktop. Go down to "Properties" on the menu that appears and click on it. Look along the top of the window that opens for a tab named "Settings" and click on it. You should see an option (usually on the left) to change your screen resolution. Change your resolution to the minimum required for the program. Depending on your computer, you may be asked to confirm the new settings, or you may have to restart your computer (the computer will tell you). Once you have the new screen resolution set, things will appear to be smaller on the monitor, but you will be able to see more of whatever you are looking at.
Restart your computer and tap the F8 key until you get the Windows Advanced Options Screen. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard highlight Enable VGA Mode (Low Resolution Mode for Vista). Press Enter. Then Enter again. Windows will boot up in a low resolution which will make things look large. Raise your resolution to a normal level in Windows' Display Properties (in the Control Panel) The next time you restart the computer, it will boot normally.
You have set a resolution that is too high or incompatible with your monitor.
I assume you are using Windows.
Turn the computer on and immediately keep pressing F8 on the keyboard until the 'Windows Advanced Options Menu' appears.
Use the Up and Down keys to select 'Enable VGA Mode'
Press enter and your screen will work again when windows starts.
Now go to the display properties and click 'Advanced' then click the 'Monitor' tab and tick 'Hide modes that this monitor cannot display'
OK everthing and now you should be able to adjust the resolution without getting a blank screen again!
Good luck and come back to comment soon.
