Dell Inspiron 3847 Will Not Boot To A Panasonic Pt-lb50u Projector

Good Day. This is a good one. I have a Dell Inspiron 3847 that boots just fine to any display that I use on the VGA port. But when I try to boot to the Panasonic PT-LB50U Projector on the same VGA port I get a flicker and then a blank screen. If I boot to any VGA display, log in and then switch the VGA cable to the projector, then the projector works fine. So to recap: boot to and flat screen (any) = success boot to projector = flicker\black screen boot to any flat screen, then switch to projector = success Any ideas?
