Remote Desktop?

[Guest]

I wish to give a Powerpoint presentation in a hall with an overhead video projector. The projector is wired to a PC at the back of the hall but I will present from the front

The PC and my laptop are set up for wireless networking. Is there any way of networking my laptop with the PC so as to display my presentation through the projector via the PC, using Remote Desktop or otherwise? I find that I can control the PC with RD but that the projector displays the XP startup screen, which is what the host displays whilst under remote control

Tezza,

Try connecting to the PC by Start | Run and type 'mstsc /console' and then
connect as you normally would. This will connect to the machine and log you
on like you were at the computer physically and logging in. Hopefully the
projector will pick it up.
