Tips & Tricks

For the location of the VGA port on your computer, see the setup poster or “Back” on page 10.

If your computer’s video card supports it (it must have two video connections), you can connect an additional monitor or projector to your computer.

To use a projector or additional monitor:

1Turn off your computer.

2 Plug the projector or monitor cable into the secondary VGA port	on
your computer.

3Turn on your computer.

4Plug the projector or monitor power cord into an AC power outlet, then turn it on. Windows recognizes the new hardware and searches for its driver. You may need to install the driver from the disc supplied by the manufacturer or download the driver from the manufacturer’s Web site.

5After the driver is installed, right-click any empty space on the desktop, then click Properties. The Display Properties dialog box opens.

6Click the Settings tab.
