I have setup a dual clone screen (LCD monitor + projector), but when i played a video file (eg rmvb), i can only get either the LCD or the projector to play the video with images while the other screen play the video, but no images. How do i get both video images to appear?

Hiya Wayne,
This is a known problem with rmvb real media files played on newer versions of RealPlayer and using dual monitors.
To fix it try this:
1) Launch the RealPlayer application.
2) In RealPlayer, choose Tools then Preferences.
3) Choose Hardware from the list and on the bottom right you will see the Video Card Compatibility slider.
4) Move the slider all the way left to Most reliable.
5) Click OK to exit, and quit RealPlayer.
6) Open it again and try playing the content.
GOOD LUCK!!

If your computer has a button that allows you to toggle between LCD and CRT monitors (in this case, the computer considers your projector to be a CRT monitor) keep pressing that until you see video on both. If you have a Dell, this will probably be Fn + F8.

go to the electric shop and ask for a 1 video output to 2 videos input cable.
important: note that the male and female sockets for the input and output on the ends of the cables and the lcd and projector if can join!!!

It should work. The DVI on most video cards is DVI-I which has digital and analog signals on it, so a converter that takes the analog signals of the DVI connector and put it onto a VGA connector will work. Make sure that you drive the projector at the right resolution.

Wayne, i don't know if your question has already been answered by "accessdeneyed" but if you are using XP, it is notorious for being akward and rubbish with video on dual-screen. Are you saying that although stuff appears on both, not all the stuff appears on both all of the time? which is what you want?

Can't you connect a main line from your computer to the VGA in on your projector, then connect your monitor to the VGA out on the projector?

I believe that this is a directX 'feature'.
You might try a different program to play your video files.
