Greetings - Yes it may be that your graphics device driver is not installed. I have have that the standard graphics driver that comes with the OS does not offer much. I could provide you with the direct link to where you could get your driver if I knew your Win version. You should be able to have a display on a projector or any secondary monitor by holding down fn and tap f8 among other ways. Here is a link to some dell driver collection- http://dell.driversdown.com/dell-drivers-list/s_763_1.shtml

Hope that is helpful.
