Acer monitor X223h & AL2216W not "detected" in Windows 7

I've been running Windows 7 Pro. (Clean install) as a Dual boot (XP) on my Lenovo Thinkpad R60.

There is a problem that I have not been able to fix & that's when I want to connect an external monitor Acer - X223h or AL2216W.

Windows 7 does not detect monitors.

In this post the solution was to turn off the monitor, etc...

http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en/w7hardware/thread/17aff461-512C-43A9-a3ea-e81aa214566a

This has not worked for me :)

In other posts, I read that I just need to click on the "Detect" button but it doesn't matter!

The site of Acer and Lenovo both have no Windows 7 driver for these monitors & when I rang them to aid what they told me that it is a problem with Windows 7 :(

Has anyone had this problem with Acer monitors & solved the problem?

TIA

It's the GRAPHICS drivers you are looking for.  Until your laptop has the correct drivers, Windows cannot correctly identify monitors.  Once they are installed, it should search and find two monitors Acer and install the drivers by itself.

    IM on Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I had this problem before and I managed to fix it by unplugging and reconnecting the Cd/dvd drive (nothing to lose, no more warranty), but after doing a system restore, the problem resurfaced again.

    The hard drive is a Toshiba MK1637GSX ATA Device

    I already tried with also Device Manager nothing doesn't.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Please start from the top and do it, even if you've done it before as is often the
    all operations which solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  • HP v125w 2 GB drive flash not detected by windows

    My flash drive is not detected by windows what should I do

    I have a HP v125w 4 GB flash drive that works on Windows 2000 and 7.  However, I also have a disk 16 GB flash of v125w HP which works on Windows 7, but was not recognized by my system Windows 2000.  Here's what I did to get Windows 2000 to recognize (this may not work for everyone, but it did for me).

    I plugged the flash drive to 16 GB on a Windows 2000-based USB port and ran:

    Norton SystemWorks-> Norton Utilities-> find and correct problems->

    Norton Disk Doctor-> diagnosis

    that gave me the message:

    Insert the diskette to diagnose in the E: drive.

    So, I ejected the flash player, it plugged into the USB port and you click on diagnose again.

    Norton Disk Doctor consulted the flash drive, diagnosed and gave the following report:

    There is no problem detected on drive E:
    Partition table... Jump
    Structures of files... Ok
    Surface test... Jump

    After this, the flash player was working fine on my Windows 2000 and Windows 7 computers.

    Thus, this procedure is awakened somehow the reader as much as to be recognizable by Windows 2000.  I hope this helps you.

  • Brother printer has not detected by Windows 7 64 bit.

    Brother DCP145C has not detected by Windows 7 64 bit. What port is recommended for the local printer - LPT1? Windows 7 should detect when the USB connection, but there is no activity. Similarly, the mode to scan on the printer is not responding to "check connection". Thank you.
    Checked the port LPT1 and COM on Device Manager and seem to work correctly. No updated driver needed updated port.

    Hello Richard,.

    If several USB devices are plug-and-play, printers need a print driver to work even on a USB port. I went to the Brother website and a research on the model of printer "DCP145C" increase any responses - are you sure the model number of the printer (not the part number)?

    You have a printer disk supplied with your printer? If you do, try to use that to install the print driver. As far as LPT1 goes, is for a printer with a parallel port (printer), and the COM ports are for those who use the ports series.

    Thus starts with the right model number and look for brother.com right print driver (or use the disc that came with the printer). Try and see if that solves the problem for you.

    Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

The manual of the manufacturer says that the mouse is looking to be recognized because the light will blink. I went to gigabyte.com and the only available download is the manual. Flight mode: Off and Wi - Fi: on.  I read comments before I bought it, and others said they used it with Windows 8. I always use a Wi - Fi with this Netbook. I tried to turn on network discovery and sharing, as recommended through help? Still, the operating system does not see the mouse.

    Hello

    If the device is not visible in the Device Manager, not even as an unknown device, then this means that the device does not exist or was not detected by the BIOS.

    Usually, the infrared receiver must be visible in the Device Manager under:

    In system devices, you should see the device consumer infrared.

  • X 230 Bluetooth adapter not detected on Windows 10

    I recently had the X 230 device I use put to level 10 Windows to a new facility (does not pass Lenovo restore feature). Since then, I noticed that I am no longer able to activate or to detect the bluetooth adapter after the upgrade. I tried to download the drivers, but also for Windows 10 but still power management software could activate / not detect. Things I noticed:

    1. There is no mention of a bluetooth Device Manager device (or as a category of bluetooth, nor as a network adapter.
    2. Performing with Fn + F5 does not work as it is the switch of the machine in airplane mode. Press them will take the machine off of airplane mode. (I also installed the hotkey software).

    I used to be able to manage wifi and bluetooth devices using wireless Lenovo return assistance when I was still with Windows 7 if the material is "absolutely" there.

    Thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help!

    OK, so I was able to solve my problem of bluetooth in upgradinv the BIOS/UEFI with the latest firmware. After a reboot, voila! The bluetooth device has been detected. Now, the interesting thing is that there is no option to turn off the radio, unless disable you it in Device Manager.
