I realize that it is hard to trouble shoot over the Internet so if there is anything else you need please tell me.

The laptop needs to be configured to output the display to the extra device. When it is booting, it shows on all output devices, but when Windows loads, it only outputs to what it is configure to. The blue screen with CTX logo is the projectors screen that it displays when it is receiving no data.
Try Ctrl+F5. If that fails, try this:

Right click desktop->Properties
Next you will likely goto settings, but it may be different. You are looking for an option to enable the second device.
