You need to mirror your displays. With your computer connected to the projector...

1. Open your system preferences
2. Choose 'displays'
3. You need to be connected to your projector to see all of these options. Choose "Arrangement" and the click the "Mirror Displays" box. Now what you see on the projector screen should match your computer screen.

4. Play around with the settings in the next window (Best for display and scaled) to change how your screen looks on the projector screen. Right now, it appears that many projectors screens are not being filled. If that is a major concern we can look into it. When you change these display settings, the way your computer screen may also change (you may see black edges to your screen)--do not worry it will go back to normal when you unplug your VGA cable. To get out of this screen press "esc" (escape) or close the box behind this window.
