[LM_NET] TECH: old projectors, new computers

[Robin Shtulman <robsht1@GPSK12.ORG>]

Hello!

This is a question for the tech savvy:

We have very old technology here.  Our old media projectors work with  
our old laptops.  However, when someone tries to use a new laptop, I  
cannot get the projector to recognize it.

I have requested that outside presenters e-mail their presentations,  
put them on flash drives, or bring their own projectors.  There is  
concern that this is unprofessional, makes the school look bad, and  
puts too much of a burden on the presenter.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?  Is there a technological fix?

Thanks so much,
Robin
