I've never had a problem with using a projector but you mentioned something
that might be a clue as to what's going on. You said "...works in dual
screen configuration in my docking station." Do you mean you're using the
Win XP ability to have two monitors active at once, each displaying
independently of the other? Or are you talking about the more conventional
practice of plugging an external monitor into the video port on the laptop
and simultaneously displaying the same image on both the monitor and the
laptop's screen?
