Ok i bought this pocket projector off the apple site and i was really excited coz i so far can connect it to my satelitte reciever and watch tv of it and i can connect it to my iphone aswell and i now have bought the mini dvi - video cable from apple site aswell to try and use it with my IMAC it worked fine on the mac site but (by the way im using the s-video in the video cable and then it goes to a s-video - phono) im a big windows user and i have everything on my windows site games and stuff movies and so on i tryed on windows but i would not work i could activate it in the minitor settings but the screen on the projector stayed blue nothing happened i have tryed everything i think soon i cant get to update the graphics driver for some reason either i dont know what to do now
 
Are you trying to say that when booted into Mac OS X the projector works fine, but under Windows (possibly via Boot Camp?) it does not work?
 
You would need to visit the manufacturer's site (whomever makes the camera) and download the appropriate Windows drivers from their site.

"Compatible with Mac" means that a device will work on a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X (whichever versions are specified by the manufacturer). When you're running Windows, though, "Compatible with Mac" means nothing, even though you're using Mac hardware... you're still running Windows, and as such, you need to install Windows drivers for Windows to be able to utilize the device.
 
I'm thinking it's just a problem with the adapter, not with the pocket projector. I was pretty sure that the earlier boot camp drivers did not actually support the adapter, but the newer ones did. So maybe that is the problem?
 
well i have runned with a vga adaptor with a normal screen it worked fine in windows that is what i dont get im pretty sure that it has nothing to do with the projector or cables i think it has something to do with windows (once again)
 
I think that's correct. The Boot Camp drivers may not support that video adapter (the one with s-video and composite - composite video being what you need).
 
I don't think there is a way for you too, you could search Google like crazy and maybe find a third party driver for it or something?
