Hi,

I am unable to conect an LCD Benq MP511 projector with my Acer Travelmate 4020WLMi.

Recently a friend of mine formatted it for a virus,
I thank if any one can help in setting this and rectifying it.

First of all, which cable are u using to connect the projector? Usb or Video.

There is a function where you can choose Monitor 1 and 2. you must set the screen of your laptop as Monitor 1 and the Projector as Monitor 2.

Or simple press Fn + one of the F4 F5 or the bottom that your laptop have set for projector.

Hope this information is good for you.

Try holding down the FN key while pressing F4 or the corresponding function key to toggle between your laptop monitor and an external monitor.

King Ed is right. You must make sure that the laptop sends the video signal to the VGA output. The projector will automatically detect the source then.

Check the settings of your laptop, if your graphics card is Intel then you should have no problem. No need to install the drivers of a projector as they got none. Righ click on any place of your desktop and then check if you got something like Graphics Options and from there put the output as Clone [laptop+another screen which would be your projector in this case].

If not then you have to go the advanced feature of your graphics cards and set it from there. To access this, right click into any place of your desktop, then properties then choose settings from the above tabs, then click advanced. You will see many multiple tabs, you should see something saying:Intel graphics media accelerator and from there you can click Graphic Options then change it to the desire output.

Best Regards
