When connecting Planar projector to Dell Laptop via VGA, laptop indicates recognition of new hardware but does not project. Checked devices under Settings and does not appear there. It is not the projector as it works fine with an older laptop.
 
Solution
The resolution of the new laptop display may be greater than than resolution of the projector. Set the laptop VGA output as a 2nd display and set that to the native resolution of the projector.
