Video problem with LCD projectors

I have a wierd problem whenever I connect to an LCD projector. When it comes up on the big screen my display is tiny. If I go into settings and try to adjust it, it only gets worse. My business colleagues think this is hillarious. It happens all the time when others with HPs or other models of Dell have no issues with the same projectors. Any ideas?

    What screen resolution are you sending to the projector?  Which laptop and video chipset do you have?

    My laptop is a D420. I'm not sure which chipset...DUAL CORE is what the sticker says. Is that the info you need?
     
    As for the screen res.. I have tried everything. Sometimes I can get 768x1024 to work but not always.
     
    Any ideas? Is there a BIOs update or driver update for this model that solves this problem?

    How are you outputting to the projector?  When you do the Fn+F7 it should give you two options, both internal and external display, and external only.  The easiest way is usually external only since the aspect ratio of the projector and the d420s internal displays are different.  The project has to shrink it to fit the wider display on.
