    Hello everyone,
    I have an Acer Aspire One AOA150-1786.
    I have a Picko Pocket Projector “PK101” and I have a VGA -> MALE TO MALE RCA -> The projector.
    I know the cables work because I have used them elsewhere.
    I connect it to the VGA port on my laptop and nothing happens.
    I have tried the FN+F5 feature, holding it down only shows a little laptop. No additional source.
    How do I get my VGA port working so I can output to my projector?
    I have spent the last 45minutes looking through the search feature at previous threads related to my situation. I have found nothing giving me a resolution. Can anyone please help me out?
    I am running Windows XP
    V/R
    Rob

    You have to select it when connected via the Intel Graphics control panel. It may be in your task bar or otherwise in the control panel.

    I have tried many options.

    I looked into the Graphics properties, and nothing there allows me to even enable a secondary monitor.

    I go to the properties tab where I can set multiple monitors, and enable the Second output device; and i still get nothing. I have no idea why I can not connect to my projector. Is there a way to force the VGA port on?

    Or new graphics drivers?

    This sucks so bad that I can not even use my new PK101 projector.

    Connect a vga device, unplug it it, then plug in the adapter + your projector.

    Composite devices cannot be detected by the laptop.
