I can't get my computer screen to project through the projector.

Your projector setting needs to be changed from the ceiling mount projection option. It is in setup menu.

Hi Connect your computer monitor out VGA connector to Computer input VGA connector of projector. Select source in projector (with remote) as computer/RGB/VGA as terminology used on the projector..
The projector will work as large screen projection monitor for the projector.
If you want to use monitor and projector both, you can use 1IN-2 OUT VGA distribution amplifier (Commonly called as "VGA Splitter"

Here's what the User's Manual says:

Using the Remote Control

To advance PowerPoint slides with the projector's remote, you

must connect the USB cable on the projector's computer cable to

the computer. See page 8 for more information.

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or

rear of the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum

operation is about 30 feet. If you point the remote at the

projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector

must be less than or equal to 30 feet. For best results, point

the remote directly at the projector.

If you are displaying presentations in Microsoft® PowerPoint®,

you can use the remote's Previous and Next buttons to navigate

through your presentation while in Slide Show mode.

Blue screen is usually a default screen when there is no signal. Check to be sure that you have selected the correct input and that the computer resolution is not beyond what the projector can handle. If you still have problems, please update this and we'll look further.

Change the chord with a chord with a new one preffered by that laptop.

Solution for Sharp projector

with the function button on the laptop and the lcd button, F5 for toshiba, the screen will display both sides. if not then give the details of ur laptop.

Make sure that your computer was turned on first (don't ask me why). Then hold down the Fn key while pressing F8. Hope that helps.

first try a new vga cable. if the problem persists, go into the menu and find the settings to that computer output. chances are it's on component. set it to vga. if that doesn't help, reset back to factory default, then set it to vga.

as long as nobody has physically changed the lens poition, you can go into the menu on the projector and do a factory reset. this should default the settings back to where the installer put them.
