To connect your computer to the Panasonic PT-DW5100U projector for presentations, you will need a VGA cable or a VGA to HDMI/DVI adapter, depending on the available ports on your computer. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Ensure that both your computer and the projector are powered off.
2. Locate the VGA or HDMI/DVI port on your computer. If your computer has a VGA port, you can directly connect a VGA cable from the computer to the projector. If your computer has an HDMI or DVI port, you will need a VGA to HDMI/DVI adapter to connect the VGA cable to the computer.
3. Connect one end of the VGA cable to the VGA port on your computer or the VGA to HDMI/DVI adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the VGA input port on the back of the PT-DW5100U projector.
5. Power on your computer and the PT-DW5100U projector.
6. On your computer, go to the display settings. In Windows, right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings." On a Mac, go to "System Preferences" and click on "Displays."
7. In the display settings, select the option to detect external displays or extend your desktop to the projector.
8. The PT-DW5100U projector should now be recognized as an external display. Adjust the display settings as desired, such as resolution and screen orientation.
9. Start your presentation on your computer, and the content should be displayed on the PT-DW5100U projector.
