• Adding a second monitor

  I have a HP Pavilion Slimline computer s5000 running Windows 7. I want to add a second monitor. Do I need to add another compatible video card to run the second monitor (the second monitor is a 42 '' Vizio LCD TV), or the new video card runs two screens?

  Please pay attention to the score on the video description:
  NOTE: * built into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they can not be used simultaneously.

  So, either use the usb option or choose a graphics card that supports the inputs of your monitors.
  If they are identically you need two, you cannot use your current Interior!

• Use the TV as a second monitor wireless

  I have Window vista premimum can set up a wireless connection between my computer and the television, I want to be able to use the TV as a second monitor or to be able to look at what's on TV on my computer and visa versa?

  Hello

  (1) your subject line has nothing to do with your question. If you have the glass effects, then Aero is running. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-Windows-Aero

  (2) you cannot configure a wireless connection to your TV as a monitor, it must be physically connected to an external monitor to your computer connection.

  (3) you can't watch TV on your computer unless you have the correct tuner added on or integrated to the system card.

  Please try to limit your problems to one topic per message with the subject that corresponds to the question. Different users with different types of expertise can then address all your problems.

• the taskbar appears on the second monitor

  I have a DELL XPS M1530 laptop with a GT GeForce 8600 M adapter and a second monitor running Windows Vista (fully updated). It has worked very well for more than eight months. Recently, I added a second user.

  Now, when the second user shuts down the computer and I have the later start, the taskbar will appear on monitor two. Under normal circumstances, the other user has the taskbar on the screen one (as I was). I checked and the laptop display is set to monitor a.

  How can I get the taskbar on the laptop screen when this happens?

  I tried this and many other things. The problem kept coming back without rhyme or reason. Then, one day, it just stopped happening.

• iMac 27 "5 k and second monitor

  Hi guys, I just bought iMac 27 "i5 3.3 with radeon M395 2 GB 5K, I would like to know if I can connect my monitor LCD Philips that runs at 1920 x 1080 as a second monitor 27" and if so, what cable connection should use.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  The iMac can power two external monitors, I have an imac 27 "non-retine with an external LG.

  As for cable, it depends on outings has the Philips, it can be one of the following values: VGA, DVI - D or HDMI or any combination of these. So you would need an adapter that goes from first sight to one of the foregoing. The third option as it is not not a digital connection but analog VGA.

• Suggestion menu doesn't show is not on the second monitor. Firefox 29.0.1

  After the upgrade to version 29.0.1, I see in the drop-down menus suggestion on my second monitor.

  The menus show that only a small line black.

  This seems to happen on my secondary monitor on all the fields in the search bar, websites and connections.

  The menus still function, I can move through values with the arrow keys.

  I am Windows 8.1, Intel HD Graphics 3000.

  The main monitor works well.

  Here are some examples

  This could be a bug.

  Could test you with the use of Firefox hardware acceleration disabled? There are two ways to do:

  (1) temporarily to run Firefox in Safe Mode
  
  (2) turn off in normal mode of Firefox.

  # 1 :

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Your tabs and non-private windows must be restored (unless you have configured to not save a history of Firefox).

  Any difference?

  (To return to the normal mode, exit Firefox and restart normally.)

  # 2 :

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

  In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  It takes effect after leaving and you launch Firefox, next time.
