Dear Reverend,

connecting your projector to your pc couldn't be simpler. I have enclosed below simple step by step guides to how you can achieve this.

First, set up the projector.

Connect the projector to power.
Turn on the projector.
Adjust projector's image to the screen.

This is usually done before the computer is connected to the computer.

Adjust the image size to use as much of the screen as possible.
Use the projector's adjustable front legs to raise the image to the proper elevation.(Generally the top of the image should be at the top of the screen.)
The top of the image may be lowered to avoid the keystone effect.
Center the image on the screen.
Focus the image.
Connect video cord to projector (don't connect to the computer yet).
Make sure the video connector has the correct plugs to match the computer.
Make sure the correct connector is used if a universal video connector is used.(There are several different ports that allow the projector to be connected to different computers. Some universal projectors have switches that must be set to make the correct computer connection.)

Second, set up the computer.

Set the computer screen resolution to the same resolution as the projector.
Most newer projectors have the ability to project images that are a lower resolution than the projector’s resolution. It is generally best to use the highest resolution available.
Be careful not to sacrifice the number of colors that the computer can use at high resolution. (Unexpected results could occur if the computer video used during the presentation does not support the same number of colors used during development of the slide show.)

If you must change your computer screen resolution

Place the cursor into a blank region of the desktop screen.
Right-click the mouse or pointer and select Properties.
Select Settings in the Properties box.
Select the screen setting and test before applying the new resolution.
Press Yes if the screen was properly viewed. (Note—some computers must be restarted in order for the new resolution to be used.)

Lastly, connecting the projector and the computer.

Connect the projector's connection cord to the computer's video port usually found on the back of most laptop computers, but be very careful not to bend the small pins in the video plug.
Use the computer's function keys to activate the video port. (2. Be patient when changing the settings—some projectors take time to sense the computer's video output and adjust the projected image.)

You should now be able to run and view your presentation Phillipe.
