Without knowing the model numbers of both it could be impossible BUT if you have a connection on the computer that you can hook the monitor to, the F4 key is the one that switches from the laptop screen to the external one. Hold down the key that says Fn and while holding press the F4 key above the number keys on the top row at the keyboard. You should get some activity on the monitor.

You need to check the device manager for any "!" symbols. They are most likely there for your audio and video drivers. This means that the current drivers installed are not compatible. See below for the correct drivers.

Need help with projector. can't get it to work, but I know it's me. Now, I can't get my remote monitor to work. I may have pushed the wrong button. I have an HP Elitebook 8350 and the new projector is...

There will be a function key that allows you to swap what monitor the display comes up on. On my HP its the blue (fn) function key with f4. This should swap display between laptop monitor and external or show up on both.
Other things to check are that the projector is powered on and plugged in before the laptop powers up.
Also check resolution of laptop display it may not be compatible with the projector.

If it's the drivers for the laptop, you can find them at Dell's support site. If it's the drivers for the monitor (some monitors need their own drivers in order to work) you can find them at the monitor manufacturer's site or driverguide.com
