Hello,
start the connecting all over again, by following the steps below:
1. Turn your computer off.
2. Connect the cable from the computer to the projector. If you want to
have your monitor to be hooked up as well, connect a splitter to the
video out port (DVI or VGA). You can also just hook the projector up to
the second port on your video card (If you have one) or if you have a
laptop, you can connect to the video out port on the back.
3. Turn the computer on and boot into your desktop.
4. Turn on the projector. Most projectors have an auto detect function,
that will detect a video signal and auto configure the projector to
display that signal. If you have a laptop, you have to hit a function
key to activate the second display. Usually this is FN Key + F5 or one
of the F Keys across the top of the laptop keyboard. It looks like two
squares, one empty and one with something in it.
5. Adjust the focus, brightness, contrast, and color on the projector.
6. Aim the projector at something white. Try not to aim it at something highly reflective.
7. Step back ... Load up your favorite game or video ... and enjoy.
Your project should work, after following the above instruction.
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. I restarted the computer and projector as you described with the computer first and then the projector. That was the only difference in your advice vs the user manual they said projector first... and I got the same result which is the projector saying "No signal detected". I tried the FN/F5, and it did not help. I also tried the suggestions in the user manual for turning on the Toshiba video port and they did not help either.
I am not a whiz with the different ways of connecting the computer to the projector, but followed the instructions for the CableWizard Lite from the user manual. The only other connectors that came with the projector are the S cable and the video/audio cables (red,white,yellow) such as for TVs.
Do you have any other suggestions?
