Answer 1

To connect an external display to a BenQ projector and watch movies in Windows Media Player 10 on Windows XP, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Projector:

   • Plug the projector into your computer's VGA or HDMI port using the appropriate cable.
   • Turn on the projector and the computer.

2. Configure Display Settings:

   • Right-click on the desktop and select "Properties."
   • Go to the "Settings" tab.
   • You should see two monitor icons. Click on the second monitor and check "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" if you wish to operate in extended mode. Alternatively, you can use "Duplicate" for mirroring your desktop.
   • Click "Apply" and then "OK."

3. Play Movies in Windows Media Player:

   • Open Windows Media Player 10.
   • Load the movie file you want to watch.
   • Ensure that the projector is displaying the content by dragging the media player to the projector screen if you're in extended mode.
   • You may need to adjust the display resolution settings to match the projector's native resolution for the best picture quality.

By following these steps, you should be able to watch your movies on the projector using Windows Media Player.
