Is there a USB to VGA converter you could recommend?
How can I get my computer that only has USB ports use a digital projector that has a VGA port?
USB KVM Extender with a cat 5 cable with just the one Projector should help, there is numerous combinations.

Presumably distance is not the issue.

You need an USB to VGA converter with driver software.
An USB to VGA conversion cable alone will not work.

Please forgive me.
I didn't make my question clear. Now that I have had some sleep after being up for two days, I am ready to give you a clearer question.
I have a DELL Inspiron 15R. It does not have VGA port. I have a Epson EX3210 projector that has a USB (Type B) port. This will allow me to connect the projector to the laptop. When I connect the projector to the laptop I cannot get the get the computer to recognize/see that the projector is connected.
I've used the the OS' (Win 8.1) attempting to find the projector with no success.
* Fn F1 = brings up the options as to how to connect to the projector. None of them proved successful.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Again my apologies for sending all of you down the wrong trail.

By the way, when I look under PC and devices the PC sees the Epson EX3210. For some reason the computer and the Projector is not talking...

If the info I'm seeing about the laptop itself is correct, it has an HDMI output? And, the projector has an HDMI port?

There are several USB to VGA adapters that work. What OS is on your system?
Depending the type of outputs your system has, there are DVI to VGA, displayport to vga, hdmi to vga
