I am using a notebook to drive a projector at my local church using a couple of dual monitor programs OpenSong and PowerPoint.
The problem is that the projector is not always on when the notebook starts up and, just to confuse matters further, there is a switchbox so the preacher at the front can also use the projector.
As I am not always operating the notebook and the other users are less confident technically I need a way to force Windows to enable the second monitor regardless of whether Windows thinks it is connected.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Kind regards
