Well normally in a situation like this my first question is:
"Is it plugged in?"

I'm not sure where USB will come into it?
External display, probably when you said CTRL+F4, thats what will switch to external display. It will activate the rear monitor port rather than the laptops LCD. Or rather than using the CRTL+F4 shortcut you could right click on the desktop, click properties, then goto settings. You should be able to set up the 2nd monitor there, depending on your graphics driver, it may be under an advanced setting.
If you have another monitor you can plug that in and then we can tell whether you need to mess with the laptop settings or the projector settings...

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

If you are using a laptop you will need to press a combination of Fn + probably F7........Look at the F keys at the top of the keyboard and look for the one with a picture of an external display and as they say it should be Bob's your uncle.

So was that a no to having another monitor to test it with? Another PC would mean you could test the projector on it too, but easier with another monitor.

Yeah, if you had one now, then you could check whether the laptop, its external port, the settings etc, are all in order. Which would narrow it down to the projector and no more messing about with ALT+F4 or the display settings are required. Then you can focus your attention on the settings of the projector.
I looked up the manual but the english one unfortunately is a dead link, if you can speak any of the other languages then you are in luck

From reading the German one (looking at the pictures), activate external display on your laptop 1st. Then change the source to input 2, then do a re-scan.
You could also plug it into your TV using s-video or composite to test it.
The USB cable and device install that you mentioned will be so you can use the remote as a mouse to change slides etc.
Not that much snow here, NE Wales, not enough to stop you getting to your presentation anyway
