**Special Note For Projectors Using USB Connections**
Users have reported experiencing difficulties when using a projector with a USB
connection, as third party software is often required to properly configure
dual monitors. If possible, it is best to use a direct output (VGA, DVI, HDMI,
S-Video) from your machine's video card. If a USB connection is your only option
please consult the manufacturer's manual for instructions on a proper setup.

OpenLP is using a large amount of RAM when showing a presentation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLP uses a large amount of RAM when showing a presentation due to the way it
handles presentations. OpenLP itself is unable to show those presentations or
load the presentation files, so it interacts with the presentation through
either Microsoft PowerPoint or LibreOffice Impress. In order to show the slides
in the slide controller, OpenLP requests that the presentation application
export the slides to images, and then uses those images as slides. This results
in a large amount of RAM being used, especially in presentations with more than
about 20 slides.
OpenLP is not displaying correctly, or is not on the correct screen
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read the documentation on :ref:`dualmonitors`. It is very important to
have dual monitors setup properly for OpenLP to function as expected.
