Re: Cult: Comp. Projector Question?

 Thanks for all the info on projector and use.

The more I get practice, things are much smoother. Even those speakers I
added for $20 were a great help. I tried them out last night in a large
setting, it worked.  YEA!!!!!!!

So now onto getting familiar w using the laptop and Vista instead of my
desktop and XP.

Linda,

The reply about the "Keystone" settings is the best option.  Most projectors
produced in the past several years have this option in the settings
(accessed by the remote on most projectors)  What kind of projector do you
have?  The first step in locating this information about keystone settings
would be to refer to the manual or online resource from the manufacturer.

I have an Optoma projector that I use for my television at home and I take
it to our meetings for slide shows and programs.  I always have to adjust
the keystone settings when I take it in.

Trivial FYI - Keystone refers to the center top stone in an arch.  The top
is wider than the bottom so it will fit properly and anchor the other
stones.  The setting gets its name from having that same shape, although it
can also be reversed with the bottom larger than the top depending on the
angle of projection.

Best of luck and let us know how it turns out.
