I have Linux. I have a 4h generation ipod nano. I tried using tripod, and the photos are in my ipod. The problom is, is that the photos don't want to be shown on full screen. is it not supposed to be on full screen. if it can be on full screen, how do you put it on full screen?

I tried to display a powerpoint presentation from a laptop onto a projector screen. It worked but the screen was cutting off part of it. (You could see most of the slide but not all of it). To fix it I think you go into the "screen properties" or something on the computer to fix it?? If anyone knows how please help! Thank you. 
Start. Settings. Control Panel. display. Settings. Screen Area. Then move the little lever toward less until it fits.
Set your display properties to 1024×768
One trick I have used on some laptops is to plug in the projector cable before booting the laptop. this way the laptop starts with the projector for an output source.
A similar thing can happen with video, you get sound, the desktop but no picture inside Windows Media Player. For that plug in the projector before starting Windows Media Player and everything should work.

I have a budget of 1500 dollars. I want to know if I should get a 720p projector or a 1080p projector. the TV only has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, but the projector has a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. I know with the projector that the image is blown up, so the definition will be worse. But I still cant decide, can anyone help me. PS I am a videophile, so I dont mind if you use technical terms and descriptions.
Correction for J M's answer: both Blu Ray and HD-DVD are 1080p sources.
For $1,500 you can get a pretty good 50+" rear projection TV or a lousy front projection. I say go for a good RP, unless you are building a dedicated HT room and have more money to spend on a nice screen, etc.
Projectors and direct view are so different in application that it's hard to compare. if you are a videophile, you know the advantages and disadvantages of projectors: great size and resolution, not too great for casual viewing, only good in near-complete darkness.
I know I wouldn't go for a projector as my "main" TV, too limited in usefulness.
As to the specs, the contrast ratio for the projector is a bit of a joke since any room light at all will wash that out immediately. In fact all contrast ratio numbers are suspect (though I think you can easily find a 42-inch HDTV with better numbers).
1080p vs. 720p is only an issue if you are plugging in a 1080p source (currently only Blu-Ray or videogames). even then, the decistion between projector and direct-view is much more of an issue than resolution.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
