    I have been trying to connect my sony laptop to an external monitor and pressed the proper fn and f bottons but laptop didnt come onto the monitor. Tried a hp laptop and it came on right away. I did read somewhere that standard vga cabled dont always work with the viao range, also the 15 pin socket on the sony laptop doesnt have the 2 threaded areas to fix the cable to the machine. Can anyone shed any light.

    Don't want to thread spoil, but also don't want to start a new thread on the same topic.

    I created a PowerPoint presentation as a favour for someone, but when it came to transferring it to a projector, the only thing I could get up on the projector screen was my desktop background. Between pressing this and pressing that, I managed to get a few dialogue boxes up on the projector screen, but couldn't get PP up.

    Anything simple thing I didn't do. fn buttons, didn't do anything with that. Was using a HP laptop, Mac any handier (if I can get the right cable)?

    Thanks.

    Instead of using the HOT KEYS to connect an external monitor (projector or screen) you should try going into your dispaly setting. Depending on your laptop and graphic card you might need to do some configuration to your graphic card settings.

    Had this problem myself with a new toshiba laptop, the nVIDIA Go 7600 seemed to take control over the standard windows display properties.

    Changes a few things in the graphic card settings and solved the problem.

    Might be worth a try?
