Assuming that most video cards have 2 monitor outs (2 DVI or 1 DVI/1 analog) + 1 SVID/Component out:
Normally video cards in clone mode take into account what an attached display device reports as it's supported video modes and then either lowers the resolution to match on all cloned displays or uses pan & scan to show a window of the higher res video on the lesser capable display. For aspect ratio differences I imagine a 4:3 projector would react by displaying top/bottom letterboxed video. Question would be can the projector do 16:9? How is it attached DVI, Analog (db15), TV out? Are you using a splitter box? If so is it 16:9 capable? If not the splitter would likely report it can only do 4:3 to the video card which would force your 16:9 monitor attached through it down to 4:3 anyway. Time to review the capabilities of the projector AND whatever you are using to attach it to the video card. If you post more detail about how you are setup we could offer better assistance.
