Carol,

What's the brand/model of that laptop? Some laptops have a few 
restrictions, e.g., they only work with an LCD projector if the display is 
set at a certain resolution, or the "dual display" (monitor and LCD) has to 
be manually changed in the "Settings" options, or a combination of keys has 
to be pressed to switch from video/DVD to regular screen display, etc.

Were these options checked already to rule them out as possible causes?
