Add the Second monitor - XPS 8100

I have a XPS8100 (June 2012) with a Radeon 7570 video card and two monitors Gateway TFT1980PS + (2006 Vintage). I have a problem connecting to the second monitor. I was told that the machine runs two on purchase. Current configuration includes primary monitor in the slot of DVI with an adapter for a VGA splitter cable. When I attach the second monitor splitter cable I get the identical to the new monitor signal but the machine does not recognize a second monitor.  Also if I connect the second VGA/SVGA cable directly on the HDMI output is there nothing more.

Question: What is the good setup or adapter needs to use two VGA monitors on this machine?

As you note, you're right, that my machine is a 8500 with map 7570. (woman machine was a 8100).

The card into the slot (probably the 7570) has the output DVI and my current monitor works through this port.  Now that I look closer, I see the HDMI port on the card. I'll have to find an adapter for the second monitor. At this point I feel quite stupid, like the location of the machine was that I couldn't really see the back that well and did not yet see the HDMI port on the card. Seeing this a few days ago would have save me embarrassment, you and your great tech team some time.

Thank you

  • Can I add a second monitor?

    I'm used to 2 monitors, and I want to keep it this way.  I hung on a samsung monitor I have via HDMI to my Sprout.  It works, except that I can't seem to operate as one extension of the other.  I have set them up as an extension, but this is only to show the same as the monitor Sprout. All duplicates. I'm doing something wrong?  Sprout supports another monitor?

    Yes, you can add a second monitor.

    Right now, the only way to get it to work is to disable the Service to germinate, and then the 'third' monitor can be used as a large monitor. But it's the only way to expand at this time. I couldn't find a document about this, but here are the steps. And don't forget, all the germs associated options will be disabled, all 3 monitors at disposal for any windows application.

    Start the Task Manager (right click on the taskbar and select Task Manager)

    under the gaze of process for the germination process

    Stop it.

    now, your monitor can be extended.

    For starters, he do the same only backwards...

  • Vista don't forget display settings; move the second monitor from top right.

    Windows Vista is often (not always) forgotten my display settings for my external monitor.

    I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT graphics card.  The laptop is running Vista Home Premium SP2 with all updates applied.  I have a Samsung LCD monitor mounted on the wall above the laptop screen that I use as a second monitor (driven by the output of the laptop).

    I updated the display settings so that my second screen is located above my main monitor. My problem is that Vista often forget this parameter after the standby or hibernation, and returns the value by default display settings of 'second monitor is to the right of the primary monitor'.  This means that I often walk in the display settings to do the right thing (pardon the pun).

    I've seen other messages to try to use 'View to connect' in the settings of Windows Mobile (win - X).  However this option only supports a second monitor is located on the left or the right of the main screen - not on it.

    Any suggestions before I have eventually give up and drill several holes in the wall to mount the external monitor to the right of the screen of my laptop?

    Thank you.

    In my case out of sleep the primary monitor (laptop) is off (still asleep) while the second monitor is on but the resolution is that the screen of the laptop and he took the position of the main monitor. I push the "fn" + 'f4' key to switch between monitors, laptop monitor turns on but the secondary display stands. Another pressure on the keys cause the laptop monitor to be shared and the secondary monitor is now on, that's what toggle keys do. On the third time that the keys have pushed the two monitors came the resolutions they were Setup.

    Try using the ToggleKeys. On some laptops the 'f' key to toggle is "" f5"key. My 'f4' key has the image of two monitors.

    I hope I could help

  • How to add a second monitor to my HP - Pavilion 500

    I am trying to add a second monitor to my desktop HP Pavilion 500 (model No. 500-189) and met with many problems. At the back of my PC there is a video output that comes with several adapters, but under a plastic cover, there is an another VGA port I have my second monitor plugged into. When I restart the computer, the loading screen appears on the screen to spare, but the lock screen then appears on the primary monitor. I went to the screen resolution setting page and discovered that the computer has not detected the second monitor at all, I pressed on detect a couple of times and he couldn't find it. If anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix it please let me know. Moreover, the second monitor I'm trying to connect to is a LG Flatron and the main monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster.

    If anyone needs my computer guru please meet demand and I'd be happy to let you know.

  • How to add a second monitor system

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion a6430f with a computer card Nvidia Geforce 6150 SE Video.  I want to add a second monitor.  I spoke with the Staples tech guy and he told me that because of the configuration of the motherboard on this system, I can not add a second video card, I need to replace the existing with a double monitor Cardinal card... is this true?  True or not, please tell me the correct map to newegg\where ever.  I don't play games, I'm a developer and must keep costs down.  Thank you.

    Yes it looks like everything you are looking for. 300W min, 512 MB, and dual display capable (as long as the monitors are video standard and the other is DVI or HDMI.) Good to go

  • Failed to add a second monitor on some computers to model because of driver VGASAVE

    Currently, using Mirage 5.1.11204. We have desktop computers and laptops Dell and HP. I have a business created for image Windows 7 Enterprise x 64.

    Corp image was created on a HP ProBook 640 G1. I use this for our standard image. It works on all our models. I have a question on a couple of the Dell models where I can't add a second monitor. It seems that the correct video driver is installed in Device ManagerDevice Manager.png

    , but if you go into the display properties and select Advanced, all card information is displayed so that isn't available or n/a.

    Display Properties.png

    If you check the properties of the adapter, it shows VGASAVE.

    Adapter Properties.png

    I tried everything, reinstall the drivers using the driver library, by not applying is not the library of drivers without result. If I take a vanilla Windows 7 x 64 using the Windows Deployment Services image fine. If its something in the base image Mirage I guess.

    This occurs in particular on our laptop Dell Latitude E6400 and our Dell Optiplex 780.  I don't want to create separate images for these two models, especially since they retired in the new year.

    Thanks in advance

    Thus, it seems that I solved the problem. I went back to my machine to reference that I created my main image on and uninstalled the video drivers of 2 HP, and set the backup as Standard VGA adapters. I took the picture and it made for a Dell Latitude E6400. It is a machine that I could not install an external monitor in and it worked like a charm.

    I shouldn't of remove these video drivers Mirage is supposed to do it himself, but the bottom line is that his work once again without having to create a separate image. I hope this helps someone else who falls on this issue.

  • The second monitor connected to the Satellite Pro A100 "disconnect" himself

    Hello

    I use my laptop - Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE) - with a second monitor with no problems until I did an upgrade to Windows Vista. After installation, the second monitor starts to show problems, i.e. that works intermittedly. Every 5 seconds or so the monitor "unplug" itelf and caps again. I hear the (UN) plug sound when she did this and the two displays flickers during this period.

    Can someone suggest a solution to this problem?

    I put t know what can be the problem but it sounds like the connection problem. Make sure that the monitor is connected correctly. Also try to test it with another external monitor. Is perhaps the cable or connector defective.

  • Satellite 1130-Z31: impossible to get 1600 x 900 on the second monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1130-Z31 (an old, but everything works well).

    Now, I have attached a second monitor with a native resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels.

    I put the second screen resolution to 1600 x 900, it is accepted.

    However, the image on the second monitor is ugly, and the external monitor´s what OSD says it gets 1440 x 900 pixel laptop computer signals.

    It seems that Toshiba sends an image with a lower resolution on the whole.

    I installed the latest graphic driver - no change.

    Or would it be a problem with a bad quality VGA cable or almost?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
    Turtle

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the info which resolutions are supported for external screens, but if you can't get 1600 x 900 pixels which means that this resolution is not supported by the graphics card.

    What video port are you using? VGA 15 pins port maybe?

  • Scrolling Web page very slow on the second monitor

    I have two monitors. When I move the window of firefox for the second monitor - scrolling of web pages is very slow. Sometimes he computer freeze (I can't move the mouse cursor).
    I checked the other applications such as MS Word, Chrome.
    This problem is only firefox problem.

    This problem apears when the part of the firefox window shows on the second monitor (or even 50 pixels)

    Hey, I had the same problem and I solved it:
    1. - in the Firefox menu, display the Tools/Options.
    2. - unselect the checkbox "use hardware acceleration when available.
    This should work better now. Apparently the hardware acceleration makes the problems only when the windows of Firefox appears in a non-primary screen (don't know why). I suppose you know, but if you want to change your primary monitor you can do it from settings (right click on the desktop, then properties).
    Good luck!

  • iMac 27 "with the second monitor boots black with cursor

    I can't seem to find another discussion altogether as my problem starting special 'black screen ':

    New iMac 27 "retina 5K (end of 2015) running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 with second monitor Samsung connected by Mini DP - DVI.  When starting, the two screens are displayed in black, but the cursor is available and can be moved.

    I have to make a hard stop and disconnect the second monitor to start at the login screen. Then I can reconnect the monitor and everything works.

    Any suggestions for a fix?

    So, I spent some time with Apple customer support. Several of the standard troubleshooting for problems of mystery, they came to the conclusion that there was an incompatibility of driver with the Samsung monitor at startup which is mucking things up, and I just have to accept starting with the second disconnected monitor then plug it in again after a successful login.

    Samsung does not write the monitor for Mac drivers (for some reason any), that's why the customer support figures that there is a hangup at startup. But why OS X recognize the monitor and run fine otherwise? Why only hang at boot time? And why my Mac Book Pro 2007 running the same version of El Capitan boot fine with the connected monitor? It has something to do with the Thunderbolt/mini-DP-to-DVI connection? I don't know, and I guess that Apple's Support is not either.

    I fell on a hack, which is as follows:

    1. start with the second monitor connected

    2. in the "black screen with cursor" hold the power button quite long to put the computer to sleep

    3 wake up the computer with the keyboard or trackpad or other

    4 and now the login screen will appear.

    5 log in as usual.

    6.

    I hope this helps someone. One day I'll get a more compatible monitor and it will not be a Samsung.

    They make nice dish, however.

    Thank you

    Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.
