The desktop background is shown through your projector? Then the laptop is just fine. It sounds like your laotop has extended desktop enabled. Go to Control Panel > Display > Settings, click the icon that represents your 2nd monitor, and uncheck "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor."
I did this, and it will not enable me to uncheck the "Extend my windows desktop on this monitor." However, I was able to get the projector to work with my Ibm thinkpad, but now it is only showing me 3/4 of the screen. The projector had problems when I first got it, then I got it to work, then it just stopped working. I can plug it into any dell computer and the projector works just fine. It just wants to mess with me! I have spent @ least 10 hours on this issue.

The User Guide doesn't list drivers. This projector should come up in Windows XP without the need for drivers.
