I concur, try changing the cables (are you using componant, dvi, composite, or s-vid?) It could also be a dead projector, you could try attaching the cables to a normal tv or another projector and seeing if it works, if it does the cables are fine and the projector could be bad.

check the projector's options too, many have a hue-correction feature that could be set wrong, or could help the problem.
