I use an In Focus projector connected to my PC to teach my computer courses. The OS is Windows XP pro.
Currently I am unplugging the monitor and plugging in the In Focus projector then reversing the process when the lesson is over. (Yes, I know the problems this can/could cause but this is all I have for now.) What I want to do is have a display on my monitor and also projected through the projector.
I recently purchased what I thought was a "splitter" from PC Guys but all that did was expand the display to two monitors and now I am stuck with this item.
Someone at my school seemed to remember that there may be a way to do this without a special splitter using XP Pro.
The In Focus Projector has a "normal" connector to attach to the back of the PC. It also has a USB connector. I tried leaving the monitor connected and plugging in the USB connector from the projector and that did not work.
The actual "splitter" cable from In Focus or other suppliers is kind of pricey and I just spent close to $100 for the other "splitter" that does not do what I thought it would do.
Does XP Pro have the ability to display on a monitor and an In Focus, or other, projector without a special cable?
Please Advise.
Sincerely,
Daniel R. Shirley
