What resolution are you sending to the projectors and what is the max resolution they support? Is it possible you are trying to feed a siginal that is set to a higher reolution than the LCD projectors support? Some but I suspect not all projectors will diaplay an error if you try to feed a non supported reolution. I don't know the specs on the ACER laptop. Some display adapters allow you to set different reolutions on different ports others would require you to downgrad to a non native (for the internal LCD display) in order to output a reolution your projector can support.
In the past with my old laptop, I simply hooked up the LCD cables, hit the Fn/F5 buttons and all went well. I recently purchased an Acer laptop 5002WLMI/Win XP and have tried unsuccessfully on 2 different LCD projectors to display my presentations for audience viewing. I called Acer who said that I needed to click on the ePresentation first, before any hookups, then proceed. This does not work. A message is display through the projector that says it cannot find the images to display. In addition the popup flashes on the laptop showing the three connections available ie; computer-lcd monitor but then flashes off again.
Help please as this really is supposed to be plug and play.
Thanks for any help.
