(Mine has PowerDVD, but there are a few others.) 3 My laptop does not work with Sony projectors we use in our faculty. It works with the few Sharps that are available. (So I always ask for a Sharp.) No one can tell me why; every expert likes to suggest it's my fault, but so far no one came up with a sound diagnosis, let alone a solution. So: try to work around the problem instead of solving it. Good luck, Arjen At 19:56 30-1-2004, you wrote: >--- Forwarded Message from "Carol Reitan" <[log in to unmask]> --- > > >Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 10:39:12 -0800 > >From: "Carol Reitan" <[log in to unmask]> > >To: <[log in to unmask]> > >Subject: Laptops that don't project? > >Hi, > >I've just learned that the Toshiba laptops we check out to faculty will >not project video (from a DVD or web-based video).
