Help I still cant get my projector to work!

I am new to madmapper and I cant seem to output full screen to my projector. As with a few other people in this forum I get full screen on both my projector and computer screen at the same time. I've looked at the output and madmapper doesn't seem to be seeing my projector. I just get 'none' and 'LCD' on my outputs. I am using a USB cable to connect Macbook Pro to projector, would vga and adapter make a difference? Any help would be appreciated with a gig in less than a week! Thanks

avoid usb display things, it's not a standard way to connect any projectors or display to a computer… DVI, HDMI, VGA, this is how you do

also, check that the mirroring option is disabled in your display settings of the system preferences
