Help with running both monitor and overhead

Mountaineer67 · 07-10-2009, 10:59 PM

I could REALLY use someone's help with this. I have a circa 2002 Dell running updated Windows XP/3. It was REALLY high end in 2002. I am trying to use it in the configuration I have attached here (the lines represent VGA cables). In a nutshell, I am trying to be able to project EITHER the Dell OR a laptop to the projector (the amp is a must - it's about a 75' run).

Anyway - the laptop works perfectly. However, every time I try to boot up the Dell, I get the "blue screen of death" critical hardware error. Running straight to the monitor, all is well. Run it to both..and...blue screen city.

HELP??? PLEASE???

Hi Mountaineer67 and welcome to TSF,

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your PC.
What graphics card does your dell have?
