After my computer blocked the secondary screen turns black.

Former title: Second monitor fades when locking computer

Hello

I scoured the interwebs for a solution or even an explanation of this problem and have not found a thing. When I lock my workstation at the office, at the forefront of my second monitor turns black (however I can still see my cursor) and I see the screen of my computer locked on my primary monitor.

It was like that, because they put me on Windows 7 and I would like to disable it if I could, if for no other reason it takes absolute ages to get the screen to respond to the keyboard entry, then takes even more time to restore my desktop computer.

Also, I think that it a little ruin the aesthetics of the workstation and sometimes I return to my office and am still wondering if anyone has played a trick my unplug my monitor or turn it off.

Thank you.

Hello
 

If you lock the computer, the primary monitor will display the lock screen and the secondary monitor will remain black. This behavior is by design in Windows 7. Because your computer is locked, so your data is safe on the computer.

Hope this information is useful.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Hello!

    I think, I missconfigurated my camera... I put the automatic light (auto light) options, then the LCD is turned off. OK, its light of day here, but how can she Cook?

    And - perhaps because of the thing said? -its LCD screen turns off every time, when I push the power on button. I'm tired of using the reset switch, but she has - at least, in the LCD - no effect.

    Device is reset, then lights up the screen, I see him starting, I can touch control "buttons" on the right side (I can see the blue lights), but after only 2-3 seconds, the LCD display turns off again.

    Although I can do anything on my camera - attach PC files, copy or dele (ordered from Windows) etc. I just don't see anything in the LCD screen.

    What's wrong?

    If it still does not work after resetting it, then it may be a hardware problem.

  • Editing screen turns black after you apply the curves in CS6

    Screen Shot 2013-08-20 at 2.51.48 PM.png

    I've recently updated CS6 and now whenever I try to apply a curves layer, the editing screen becomes black.  If I have another open photographs I don't see them either, please help!

    First suggestion is to go to the site of the manufacturer of your video card and see if you have updated drivers for your particular model video card.

    Otherwise, you may need to enter in Photoshop > Preferences > and set the GPU on Basic mode, or disable the GPU feature and see if that clears it.

  • BlackBerry smartphone screen turns black in the Blackberry Bold 9900, but everything else, keys, touchpad screen and keyboard still works.

    It is a problem, I think that many have known, but there is no real solution to the problem. However, initially all of a sudden phone has begun to show an error (can't remember not exactly what, but something related to something does not turn) and the screen locked with constantly showing loading circling constantly clock and the narrowing of the battery quickly. what I've done; Hold the alt + right shift + del (twice) to restart the phone. Restarting the phone, the screen turns black (which indicates there is neither power or the screen itself issue and it's just a matter of graphics functionality). The phone restarts you black screen, the phone clearly charged the software couple received messages (indicating the phone works and the network also works). The phone rings again and the touchpad works if you know by heart, keyboard and the short keys for speed dial works (which means that yo can call), but the screen turned black. I think it's graphic material rather software number. I tried to do all sorts of stuff and things, did not work. Finally, I decided to restore the Blackberry software (running the latest version 7.1) so I plugged it in to the computer and run terminal BlackBerry Desktop to perform an update failed with this error: "an error occurred when downloading the BlackBerry® Desktop software. Please try again. "and offered to launch the"regsvr32 ole32.dll"in order to connect to the Blackberry server to do the update. tried, restarted my PC, plug the unit again removing battery, replacement and tried again, keep showing the same error. I tried all the advice forums, youtube videos and even troubleshooting I contacted Microsoft (running windows 7 64-bit), server connection module installed and works perfectly still having the same problem.

    I hope that blackberry had a clear answer to these questions and have someone in the customer service who can solve the problem instead referring users to the forum!

    Anyone who had experienced the same problem and found a solution, please respond. your help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    The GPU is integrated into the cpu, so the phone would not ring or the touchpad does not work. It is possible that the phone fell or anything that could cause the connections on the motherboard to disconnect, I gave up my 9930 and causes the connector unplugs. Would you feel comfortable taking apart? It's easy, I think you could look up how do on YouTube. I could help you if you are on Central time or Pacific.

  • Why is my screen turning black temporarily, then the screen saver turning blue, when using hotmail?

    Sometimes when you use Hotmail - specifically, put the cursor in the e-mail box - Mac color wheel starts to turn. It is quickly followed by the entire screen goes black for a few moments. This is followed by the screen back, but the background changing default screen saver is blue that usually appears temporarily when I boot. This happens not all the time, but it happens. I visited the 'genius bar' Apple Store and they checked on my machine. They cleaned up some disk problems, and it is always the case. Their thought is that it is a Firefox problem, because they did not experience to date, and it didn't happen when I use hotmail with Google Chrome.

  • On the Satellite A210-14 t LCD screen turns black randomly

    For several days, I have the problem, my lcd screen turns black all of a sudden, the 'photo' is just disappearing. but the backlight is still and the system is still running (which happens most of the time in battery mode)
    When I close the laptop, pc goes into stand-by mode and so I open the pc again and the screen works again
    But this isn't really a solution.
    What can I do? Fresh grafix drivers are installed.

    BTW:
    I use WinXP

    HM, how long do you want the machine. Maybe you should check the powersaver for battery operation parameters when the display is sharp because it can be a characteristic powersaver the screen turns off.

    If please check your powersaver settings and set the time when the screen turns off at maximum or turn it off, then check if the error appears again.

    Would appreciate the your part feedaback. :)

  • My laptop screen turn black while it ' s always running

    I had virus of the FBI three weeks ago, fortunately I have restored my laptop with safe mode. I used it normally until a few days before, its screen turned black after that Vaio logo appeared a few seconds. I can only press F2 to go into Bios and do nothing. My Vaio of series is VPCSE1AFX. Please help me!

    Hello

    It is very rare for not working. Make sure that the computer is completely shut down. To make sure that the computer is shutdown, you can try to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds straight, and once done. Press the power button once and keep tapping F8 or F10 as many times as you can.

    If it still does not work.

    Based on the specifications of your computer, you should have a Help button on the top of your keyboard. While the computer is completely shut down. Press the Assist.

    If all else fails, I fear that already corrupt FBI Virus even your recovery partition then its time to get a recovery media disk. You can contact - parts and accessories for the 800-488-7669.

  • Movie Maker: saved big screen turns black during playback

    A few things that might help...

    There may be a compatibility issue with some of your
    source files. Convert your audio files to the. WMA
    format before you import into Movie Maker can be useful to
    a try.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    Also, before you save it... go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility
    tab and disable all filters / OK.

    It may be interesting to try to save the project in DV - AVI format...
    (the file size will be much larger, but the result may be better)

    XP Windows Movie Maker 2.1...
    To save a DV - AVI movie file...

    There may be a compatibility problem with music
    files. Convert to WMA format before importing
    worth try in Movie Maker.

    There are to many converters available on the net...
    Some are free - some details... the following freeware
    is but one example. :

  • I downloaded an update and restarted my computer, received the blue screen of death shortly after the computer restarts. Now it does not start

    I don't know when the downloaded update, the computer has been restarted on September 10, 2010 to install updates. Shortlyl once the computer is restarted, I got the blue screen of death.  with the details of error like:

    Stop 0 x 000000050 (0 x 000000000000000, 0xFFFFF88001DCAE4, 0xFFFFF8A00B490027, 0 x 00000000000002) do not know if the number of zeros is exactly right in one of those, but it's super frustrating.

    I tried to restart my computer in repair as recommended (get blue screen of death), I tried to reboot normally, loop just restart procedures asking if I want to restart in repair mode.  I tried SafeMode (BSOD), I tried to restart with last working restart (restart loops), I tried to choose the "Computer repair" BSOD I tried a diagnosis and all past.

    Help!

    Thank you.

    So yes actually hear nothing helped me.  Seems that, given that the computer is not stopped correctly and my hard drive was not recognized there starting the cycle upward or give me the BSOD.  Put it in my Ubuntu CD spare which I've had since my last PC hard drive became corrupt and force back across my hard drive.  After doing this, I was able to do a boot repair, who led for the BSOD.  Not sure how that actually fixed, lost about 10 hours of my day.  So I guess I can chalk up to Microsoft and a reminder on why I should buy Mac for now on... an update shouldn't really cause such problems.

    I get that not everyone has the same PC, so it is difficult to tell if an update is bad, but he should not do this and if an update is the cause of a certain segment of consumers who are updating must be taken down for everyone, or at least the users with the configuration that is known to have problems with an update.

    Problem is solved, had to go back to a previous version of good boot where I have not install updates again.  Now, I'm trying to understand who was was bad, so I can leave my computer knows to ignore.

    Nice day.
