HINTS FOR DATA PROJECTOR PRESENTATION Your presentation must display properly at either 1024 X 768 or 800 x 600 resolution (SVGA or XGA). 1024 x 768 is the maximum resolution. To set the resolution on your laptop: start menu - settings - control panel - display - settings - "screen area" should read 1024 x 768 pixels or 800 x 600 pixels. You should set your screen saver to "none." This prevents your screen saver from activating during your presentation. Power settings (AC, battery) should be set so that the LCD, hard disk, etc. does not shut down due to inactivity. start menu - settings - control panel - power management Suggestions to speed your Power Point presentation: Your presentation will run faster if it is loaded on your hard disk (desktop) Your presentation will run faster if there are no other programs running (anti virus software, office start bar, RealPlayer, etc.) Remove these from your startup folder or change their "preferences" or "options" to not start when Windows starts.
