    Hi. I have hooked up my Acer Aspire 5570Z to both an HDTV using an S-Video cable and also have tried to hook it up to an In-Focus projector using the standard 9 pin monitor cable that came with the projector. I have pressed Fn + F5 and nothing happens. I can't get the laptop image to show up on the other devices. If I restart the computer, it shows the start up screens and the Windows logo on the projector for a few seconds then the laptop reverts back to it's own image and I have nothing on the remote. Please help. My other Fn keys seem to work well. Please help. Thanks -Jim
