Bug dual monitor
I wanted to just pass this along to anyone with a double screen and Robohelp 7. (I have NO experience with Robohelp 5).I telework during most of the week and fly away in the Office for the rest. At the office, I have a dual monitor with a laptop docking station, and at home, I'm working on my laptop without a monitor attached.
I learned this the hard way. If you compile Robohelp or perform any function at all that displays a dialog box, Robohelp, 'remembers' that monitor this dialog box is displayed to and it displays on the same screen next time, UNLESS you drag the dialog to the other monitor. It does not matter if you go to one "monitor 1" setting.
Example: You compile your project and the dialog box publish poster on your secondary monitor. If you drag this to your main monitor dialog box, the dialog box will display on your screen main next time you compile. If you leave the dialog box where it is, it will display on your secondary display next time.
Then, to work my dialogues were all showing on my secondary monitor. I unplugged my laptop and it took home, and whenever I have compiled, I could not see the dialog box. I had this "ding" you get when a dialog is open, so I could not close Robohelp or anything. When I went to the Task Manager, the application is active. The only way I could close out of it was to end the program via the Task Manager.
I learned that Robohelp was stubbornly poster on a non-existent second monitor dialog box. My settings at home were for "monitor 1" and he ALWAYS thought that I had two and hung at my request. I could go through the process by pressing enter, but I didn't know what I was getting into because I didn't see it.
The fix was simple. When I returned to the office, I have compiled a project and the dialog box displayed on the secondary monitor. I dragged to the main screen and in the process of publication. Then I compiled again and verified that Robohelp dialogues were now or by default in the main screen. I had nothing to do, and it worked fine even when I compiled on my laptop.

The "Software Installation" window will open on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor
I have a dual display setup. A 225WS 1680 x 1050 monitor LG is connected via a VGA cable and a VGA - DVI converter to a DVI port on a Radeon 6850 video card. The second screen is a Samsung HDTV set at 1920 x 1080 and connected via HDMI on the same video card. I have set up the screen LCD as main monitor and the Samsung HDTV as the extended display. HDTV is most of the time, but I use it at least once a day. This isn't a driver problem, because it happened also when I had an old Nvidia video card and it is fixed by a new installation of windows and setting up of screens from a square.
The installer works great almost all the time except when I try to use some programs or Windows functions (7). When I try to start the MozBackup application or I pop in a new usb device and click on the notification bubble, both these windows (MozBackup and the "Driver software Installation" window) open in the center of the HDTV as opposed to the LCD (which is defined as primary). The problem is that the views are ~ 3 meters out and HDTV is mostly off.
I sent a bug report to the developer of MozBackup because this part is perhaps a problem with its software or what old Windows functions and hooks it uses, but the window "Installing the driver software" (or who knows what other program Windows Basic) has exactly the same problem and is part of Windows.
What can I do about it? I DIDN'T put the displays in any mode "clone" to have office in mirror between them. Is - this fixable somehow? I guess that is not a problem with the video card drivers because I used two different video cards with either the manufacturer or windows update drivers and the problem is the same.
I'm talking about a window similar to this one
http://jaunty-electronics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Freedom_FRDM-KL25Z_driver_install.PNGTry changing the backup.ini
you find it in
.. \Program files (x86)\MozBackup\backup.ini
Open the file backup.ini with editor
Check if you have the rights to save the changed files in this directory. You may need to change the Directory rights
Change the value of "1": monitor
wyzodir =
; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear
monitor =1
'2' or whatever the value of your primary monitor is:
wyzodir =
; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear
monitor =2
System main screen could be identified as '1 '. If you have changed the monitors, it can be used internally '2 '.

Dual monitor problems / external
I recently bought a netbook NB200/007 and want to use two monitors (mainly for display of pictures etc on larger screens)
It came preloaded with Windows 7 starter, after having found that the Starter edition did not support dual monitor that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium, but I'm still not yet to make it work.
When the external monitor is connected, the netbook picks it up and sets up two monitors, but the external screen does not light (it remains in standby mode) I tried several different resolutions and also tried to use the external monitor as a single screen by selecting the option to have it as my main screen.
If anyone has a suggestion of how I could get it to work, I would greatly appreciate.
Kind regards.

HP Compaq dx2000 format Microtour - upgrading graphic support dual monitor?
Hi, I have a question about the HP Compaq dx2000 format Microtour. The link to the form is here:
I was asked to provide a solution for this machine that will support dual monitor. Can someone tell me please on a possible graphics card I buy (probably second-hand) that will be compatible with the motherboard on this machine and will also support dual monitor?
Thank you very much!
Paul
Hello:
If you only run XP and don't have no plan to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7 and just VGA (not DVI) output, this PCI video card should work for you, and your machine has only PCI slots.
You will need to read the installation manual on the support page and the driver of your PC because I believe that you need to change a setting in the BIOS to the PCI card to the video card main.
Or you can search for a similar PCI card with a DMS-59 output with video split cable that goes to two monitors.

E-mail and calendar will not connect on a dual monitor system.
I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) running on Yosemite 10.10.5. I currently have a system of dual monitor hooked up with an Acer monitor (version: AL1916W Abd ~ Jan. 2008). When I use this monitor as Desktop 2 and move my apps to email and calendar to this office, I suddenly find that mail will not receive any new messages very well and the calendar will often lose the connection and does not update to mobile. I thought maybe of interference on the WiFi, but Google Chrome runs on the desktop at the same speed as on my laptop. Perhaps it is still a form of interference, but I don't know what is the cause or how to fix it. Perhaps the monitor is too old and now is not compatible with my operating system? The monitor is connected with a VGA XAVIER to converter Thunderbolt and a VGA cable normal VGA.
The internet I use is the internet at the University where I work, so reset the router or something like that is not an option. Help?
Please open the Mission control pane in system preferences and uncheck the box marked
Viewers have separate spaces
Log off or restart the computer.

HP 251-a123w: I have a Setup dual monitor using VGA and DVI - D ports?
I want to connect my HP 22uh monitor to my office using a DVI - D to DVI - D configuration. Then I would like to complete a Setup dual monitor by connecting an Acer X193w monitor to my office using a VGA VGA configuration.
Is this possible? Two ports on my desktop computer can be used at the same time to support dual monitor?
I see that the cables double monitor are in the form of Y and I thought that maybe a single port may be used simultaneously. If someone knew this information then it would save some time & money on experimentation...
Monitor HP 22uh was bundled with my new desktop PC and I cleaned the Acer to my now deceased Vista system. It is in very good condition, would like to add.
Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
I read your post about the use of the video taken two DVI and VGA and wanted to help.According to the technical specifications of HP for your PC, both of these jacks can be used at the same time.
Good luck

Dual monitor on HP Pavilion p6610f
I would use two monitors on my HP Pavilion p6610f desktop computer. I have two lcd monitors. I buy a vga adapter digital and connected a monitor to the VGA in the back of the computer and plugged the adapter connected to the other lcd screen in the digital output on the back of the computer. The monitor connected to the digital output signals no signal.
Can I use a Setup dual monitor on a pavilion p6610f using video output that is on the motherboard, or do I need an additional video card?
Thank you

Graphics card dual monitor will fit in an HP Pavilion Slimline s3600z
I need to run two monitors to my HP Pavilion Slimline s3600z.
My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit.
I'm not a gamer; I teach in virtual classes and need to spread out the screen on two monitors.
My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE.
The card offers the ability to set multiple views, so I bought a splitter.
Unfortunately, this does solve the problem.
I bought a low profile with two connections graphics card, but it was too big for the case.
Is there a card dual monitor low profile that fits the business slimline?
Here are the specifications of your HP CTO Slimline s3600z desktop. According to specifications, your computer has a power of 160 watts. This power supply is unlikely to fuel a retail graphics card. The simplest method to use two screens with your computer is probably a adapter USB-to-video EVGA + 19.

Do I need a dedicated video card to run a Setup dual monitor with HP 700-327c?
Recently replaced an old HP Desktop with the envy of 700 running Windows 7 Professional.
Old facility had a Setup to dual monitor with a video card that had two monitors - one HDMI and a DVI connectors. The standard connectors on the old PC were VGA and DVI, but both have been capped to prevent use.
I wanted to set up monitors on this new PC to do the same thing and wanted to know if a video card with the two input connectors dedicated was the best set-up or simply use a mute adapter for VGA or DVI on the new PC ports. The new PC has two video connectors standard - one VGA and one DVI currently.
FYI: Using an Intel i7-4770 with 16 GB of RAM and a video card using an Intel HD Graphics 4600.
An update as promised - not a problem - used another cord with the right connector and setting up monitors using Windows device settings and they work perfectly. No need for a separate or higher video card as I am not in the game application for video features. Thanks BH.

HP G42-415DX: in a Setup dual monitor, perhaps armored secondary monitor white screen?
I have a Setup dual monitor, where the laptop is tied to a 2nd monitor (TV) via HDMI. I mainly use the 2nd monitor. Can I empty the 1st monitor (laptop screen) screen, yet still use the 2nd monitor with lid open to access the keyboard?
(I noticed with parameters changed in the Panel of Win7, I can close the lid without cutting [sleep, Hibernate or shutdown] computer and had to lower the monitor display 2nd to adapt to the screen.) But to use the keyboard, open the lid of the portable computer, which involved the 1st screen)
Thank you
Hi Kalad,
I think the same as you do sometimes, especially when I watch a movie and you want that it will display on the bigger screen and the simultaneouly have the laptop screen is off.
As you need to use the keyboard of the laptop and want the second poster only, which suggests to select the "Projector" only option in the pop-up menu by pressing the Fn + F4 key.
& to come back again having two screens or single screen press Fn Key & F4 on your keyboard and select "Extend" or 'Unplug the projector' options respectively.
I am an employee of HP.
Kind regards

The dual monitor settings not remembered
I just added a second monitor (same size and resolution as the first monitor). After using "personalize > display settings", activating the second monitor in the mode double screen, monitor the position and resolution, then selecting "apply > Save Settings > OK" the new monitor will work fine. However, when I restart the PC, Windows knows more on the second monitor and I have to redo all the settings more. It's ALWAYS happening (and not sporadically). I've never had this happen before in configurations dual monitor. I don't do something correctly?
I'm under Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 2-24 "1920 x 1280 Digital monitors, graphic adapter advanced ATI HD 4850 with dual output DVI, 8 GB of memory.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Then adjust your settings of dual monitor since the display under chart type Manager, here you can set the desktop, the refresh rate resolution and you want 1 of a possible 5 modes (press F1 to get help with their applicaton) display. Make sure that save you after having selected the desired configuration. Rami
