• Error - in Windows XP the external monitor laptop becomes primary, but Explorer windows do not go to the main window.

  Original title: xp laptop lidswitch and extended mode.

  I have xp laptop. I connect external monitor and set it to the extended mode with my laptop LFP as main and external monitor as secondary. Configuration of the power for the closure of the cover option as long as "do nothing".  Open an Explorer window and drag extended display. Then close the cover. The external monitor becomes primary, but the Explorer windows do not go to the main window. They are always extend on even though the extended mode is it more. Is this a known problem with XP? Anyone know? Thanks for your help...

• Portege Z830: I want to disable internal LCD and use only the external monitor

  I have a Toshiba Portege z830.
  I use my laptop in "Extended desktop", mode with an external monitor, which is the main display.
  In this mode, the two screens are still on, but I want the built-in LCD screen to be opened only when I use it.

  Is this possible?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  In my opinion, this is not possible.
  In extended mode, you use and display internal but extended and the long part is visible on the external monitor.
  In such a case its any that your external monitor is set as main display.

  If you want to use an external monitor only, you can only export the video signal on external monitor by pressing FN + F5

• Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

  I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

  I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

  She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

  Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

  Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

  Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

  Is there a question here?

  Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.

• Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

  I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

  After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

  Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

  I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.

• What is it's ok to keep Satellite U500 closed while using the external monitor?

  Hi mate

  I have a Satellite phone as well and it s connected to the external monitor.
  I also have a USB keyboard.

  I use the external keyboard instead of the internal keyboard for laptop and the cover is too firm

• Satellite P300 - randomly turns off the power when connected to the external monitor

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P300, Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 512 MB, running Windows 7 ultimate x 64.

  Recently, I bought an AOC v22 led screen and connect my conputer via HDMI. Everything works fine, but sometimes my computer off just randomly. I might have something to do with my computer overheating, so I clean the fan, but this was not good.

  I think it has something to do with the LED screen because my computer was never off his own.

  Hello

  So this also happens if you n t connect laptop to external display? So, you can determine what is causing this problem.

  If the computer laptop doesn t turn off without external monitor, you should try to update the BIOS and the display driver. Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  You close the lid if you have connected the external monitor?
  What operating system do you use?

  In addition, it would be interesting to know how you clean the laptop. That's why I use the jet of compressed air that can blow the dust from the cooling fans and you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

  Good bye

• Satellite M30X-111 screen does not display anything but the external monitor works

  My laptop just screen does not display anything (like when the computer is turned off), but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop is displayed on this screen. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.

  Again, I must plug the external monitor, and after I tried to restart, I continue to pressing F8 but the startup mode is not come, the noise of when you press a button for too long beeps, however, the monitor of the laptop working again.

  How can I solve this problem?

  What do you do? You want to recover the laptop?
  If Yes, you n press any F8 but you will need to boot from the recovery CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

  But this question seems that you have accidentally switched to external display.
  I recommend checking the Fn + F5 option. This combination allow you to switch between the display and the external monitor.

• Cannot get T500 to display on the external monitor

  Hello
  I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T500 (type 2082.BSG), and I'm having problems after have recently updated my display on the Lenovo site software (read the list of installed software, I think that the installation of the software that is the cause of the problem is "ThinkPad features video [AMD switchable Graphics (M8x)] for Windows 7 [32/64 bit] ') version 8.752.4 - 101022 a-107489C-Lenovo). Before the update my computer has guessed what display is active (laptop screen or external monitor) and used the active display. For example, when the laptop is docked and the cover closed he used the external monitor. After the update when the laptop is connected and the lid is closed, I can't display on the external monitor. I have to open the lid and use the Fn + F7 to get the display on the external monitor. Can anyone tell me please what settings should I use to get the old behavior.

  Kind regards

  The previous is an old post, but as there was no response, and I recently solved the problem, I write in case someone else runs into the same problem.

  After having encountered the problem I restored the factory default driver (which does not show the problem). However, lately I received another message to the effect that it is recommended to install Lenovo "Thinkpad video Features (AMD Switchable Graphics...). ...". I installed the software but the problem described in my original message reappeared. However, this time, the software of (the age AMD) had a "driver update" option and my video material is correctly recognized and the correct driver has been downloaded from the AMD website, after which the problem described in my original post disappeared.

  Kind regards

  What is the problem?

  Hello

  What happens if you connect the monitor directly to the laptop without docking station? It work?

• Satellite Pro L360-14F - cannot play videos on the external monitor

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L360-14F
  Video files as avi, flv, mp4 are played with SM-player etc on the screen of the laptop, but not on the external monitor attached.
  A newspaper there is the error message: MPlayer crashed by the bath OF CPU/FPU/RAM usage.

  Which may mean that?

  You already go to the external display by using the FN + F5 keys?
  To do this.

  In addition, you must go first to the external screen and then you need to start the windows media player or other video player.

  I advise to use the VLC Player. It s free fro and plays most of the files
