It would help to know some things about your computer. What graphics card did you buy? It sounds as if one of your displays has an HDMI input and the other requires VGA, is this correct? Do you know what the make and model of your motherboard is? There are programs, such as Speccy, that will give you detailed information on your computer specifications.

Hi Soji,

I don't know if you can use this, but here's a solution that worked for us here:
If you can - try and connect two monitors to your computer so it identifies an extended screen. When this setup has been recognized, disconnect the extra and replace it with your projector. This should now function as the extended screen.
Be aware that you might have to switch between which one is screen 1 and which is screen 2.

Our solution was based on a laptop connected to the projector via HDMI cable.

Hope this helps and was kinda what you were looking for.
