Hey all
Seem to be having a problem with this in that when I connect
my projector for presentation the connect continually drops off.
The screen on both projector and laptop will blink black then back
on and the mouse cursor returns to the centre of the screen with a
load circle. From the windows mobility centre I can see the connection
to a display but as the screen blanks out the connection to a
new display will drop off also. I also get a windows bleep as if I have
done something wrong. Any help would be great as I am out of ideas. Thanks.
