LCD only displays wallpaper
I have an inspiron 8200 and a Dell projecto 2200MP. I have used powerpoint slideshows successfully before...however now when I connect my laptop and projector, the LCD ONLY shows my wallpaper. None of my desktop items or PPT or anyother programs are displayed. I have played around with the settings and troubleshooting and nothing seems to work. Anyone have a suggestion?

Just so that we aren't missing anything, please verify that either of the following is performed (both cannot be done at the same time):
Option A: Disable the extended desktop in Display Properties after the projector is connected and powered up. Then use Fn+F8 to try toggling the activated monitors.
Option B: (If the extended desktop display is enabled,) in PowerPoint go to Slide Show > Set Up Show > Multiple Monitors and select Monitor 2 from the drop-down menu.
