are u people of Chile? nice never talk to guys from South America.

lets go back to Q, what did it happen last time before pluggin into

the projector?

do u remember? u mean booting xp slow or what else?

Hi, yes i am chilean . Look , as i can not  view at the same time the laptot and the projector i used the key fn with f8 but i never view both at the same time. somebody told me meke a change in monitor setting and we select and un select some box. after that when i reseted my computer it begins with problems. I restored the computer and nothing happended. ??????

check with another vga cable.

test with external monitor to see if the vga port on laptop is working fine.

do not install latest ver of intel if it comes with intel vga chipset.

miss some feature in there. the reason is the DD , diagnostic test wont have

external monitor testing.

ciao

Let me understand. I must connect again another monitor and chek the performance. If this doesen't work, do you belive it will be neccesary reload windows xp. from your point of view the systems is traying to find an external monitor? the DD is working permanet and the time delay between when i start the computer until all direct access appears is about 5 min

if it doesnt work with external monitor , im quite sure the vga port on mb side is fault.

btw, try not using the latest driver ver cos the it cuts off some features with latest ver.

before (A12)
