    Hi

    I'm finding the sound from my M45 is so tinny even when outputted from the headphone jack into a multi thousand dollar home theatre system. My old IBM used to sound great, is this a driver or setting issue? I've used the toshiba drivers for Windows XP. Or is this just something I'm stuck with?

    The other issue I have is that I connect my projector to the VGA output and press function F5 to change modes and no matter what I try, the projector doesn't display anything. My roomies apple laptop works fine on the projector and my old IBM used to also, so it's local to the M45. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!
