This should add some info for a situation StevanP addressed with an user concerning a projector with a usb connection. We are looking for better info and will include it as we find it. Also added a link to the dual monitors section from the trouble shooting. And also included a note in the trouble shooting about high ram usage and power point. Apologies for my quick delete of my last merge proposal, fat fingers took me in the wrong direction.

+**Special Note For Projectors Using USB Connections**
+
+Users have reported experiencing difficulties when using a projector with a USB
+connection. It seems that third party software often is required to properly
+setup 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 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.
