connect a 2nd monitor in order to expand the workspace

All the people who are sitting next to my wife to work hung a 2nd monitor at their consoles portable to give them the extra monitor space to work in. My wife now has a 2nd monitor and a cable which is necessary for the two screens can be connected at the same time - just as they are. They are all connected to the network at work.

But how she has set up in Windows? No work can tell her what to do to implement. Please be as specific as possible non-tech in your answer, that is, do not assume that I don't know!

Sorry if my post has been in the wrong place. It is a portable Windows XP which is a HP Elite. So, what do we do?

XP...  Make sure you have the same image on the computer laptop and external monitor by using the Fn + F toggle key that I mentioned in my previous post. Right-click on an empty area of the desktop.  Left click on properties.  Click the settings tab.  You should see two monitors.  Click on identify.  The external monitor should show that monitor 2.  Click on the representation of the screen on the screen.  You should see below just a checkbox to «Expand my screen...» ' check that, to ensure that the resolution above this area is compatible with the external monitor and OK outside.  You should now see the Office extended to the external monitor.  Windows can be slid toward the new monitor and used as an extension of the screen of the laptop.
 
Let me know if this can help, or if you have any other questions.

  • Satellite L350 - 20 d is able to connect a 2nd monitor with WLAN?

    Hello

    If I understand correctly searches there ist a function called 'widi' which goes hand in hand with Intel chips.

    Didn t update my windows because I use quite a few programms pretty expensive software update.

    My question, before I go through the process of update: is the chip of the Satellite L 350 - 20 d working with widi? Cause if not, I´ll rather try instead a wlan card.

  • Dell Inspiron 3043 All in One-2nd monitor?

    My dell is not detect a 2nd monitor when I connect it to my Acer monitor.  I tried to use the VGA cable with a HDMI adapter.  I also tried to use a DVI cable to HDMI.  The Acer monitor only has VGA and DVI - D connections?  Is there another way to connect the 2nd monitor?

    I have the Dell Inspiron 3043 all in one

    You can consider using a USB2 > DVI - D or USB2 > adapter VGA to connect the second monitor, but they are not exactly cheap.

    And if you buy one of these adapters, make sure that the one you get can clone (1) internal display, (2) extend the desktop on 2 screens and (3) show 2 different screens simultaneously and is compatible with any version of Windows that you are using.

  • 2nd monitor for laptop Dell Inspiron 5000 17.

    Can I connect a 2nd monitor to my wife's cell phone (Laptop Inspiron 5000 17 Windows 10, bought Dec 2015) - without having to buy something more (video, graphics, maps etc.), except, of course, the 2nd monitor.

    I want both screens to be active (and not to replace the screen of the laptop.

    Just checking to see if I can do this natively, without having to make changes to his / my laptop.  10 Windows natively support both screens didn't he?

    And how to connect - HDMI, USB, etc...

    Ron in round rock

    If you want to add an external display, it is not a problem - HDMI is probably the best connector to use.

    If you want to add TWO external displays, which can be a problem if your system has Intel or video hybrid.

  • HPE HP8 1360t DVI connections and two monitors

    I recently bought a new HP8 HPE 1360t directly from HP.

    I finally got around to get set up last night. I like almost everything about it, EXCEPT to try to figure out how to make it work with two monitors.

    Before buying, I contacted HP sales to confirm that this model could support two monitors in extended mode, which means that Office spans both monitors, giving me two times the workspace.

    I have two monitors (1908FP) Dell that I got as part of a severance package from my last job (Yes, I know what you think) and down them as two monitors with the office in extended mode. They have both connected via DVI to a MOLEX splitter. They seem to be of DVI - D Single Link.

    At the back of my new computer, there are three DVI ports:

    -one on its own and it is DVI - I Dual Link (photo below)

    -both grouped together and on the side. one looks like DVI - I Dual Link and the other DVI - D Dual Link

    When you configure the workstation I naturally just assumed to connect all the cables DVI mail of my monitors for each of the two DVI ports on the side. Nothing happened.

    I removed then each of them to test it on its own. Still nothing.

    Then I plugged into the port at the top, and it worked. But it has only a single port.

    So I went back and tried the other in each of the two and went to the panel display and but it does not recognize the second monitor.

    At this point I don't know what to do. They told me this computer supports two monitors, but I don't see how it's done if neither of the DVI low ports to work.

    Is there anything else I should do? Or have I not those who simply do not work?

    I am running Windows 7 family Premium 64-bit (Service Pack 1), Direct X 11, and the graphics card is GeForce GT 630.

    If it means anything NVIDIA control panel says my card and monitor are HDCP and it does not find the second monitor when I use setting up the functionality of multiple screens.

    I would be very happy for any help and advice.

    Thank you.

    Lee

    This model uses a card mother IPMMB-FM (Formosa). The built-in rear I/O below;

    (5) - DVI - I (digital and analog output) and DVI - D (digital only)

    When the computer is equipped with a dedicated graphics installed in slot PCIe x 16 card, this motherboard integrated DVI outputs are disabled. The only connections that you can use are those on GT630 discrete graphic card. This card must have at least a DVI and an HDMI output. Please post a photo of the back of your computer, centered on the graphics card. You may need to use a HDMI-DVI adapter to connect the second monitor.

    UPDATE! : I had no sound.

    Mike,

    Disable the LogMeIn driver from Device Manager and check. There are a few reported issues where LogMeIn driver has disabled the aero thus also changed the screen resolution feature.

    -Click Start, and then press on and enter type Device Manager.
    -Double click on graphics cards to expand the video drivers.
    -Right-click on the LogMeIn mirror driver and then click on disable.
    -Restart the computer and see if that helps.

    You can try to uninstall the video drivers and then install the driver from the AMD website as given in my first answer.
    Note: it is there no trouble uninstalling the video driver. When the video driver is uninstalled, Windows starts with minimum VGA drivers. The resolution of the screen (icons on the screen) may look bigger, but after installing the latest video drivers, the screen resolution will be back to normal.

    Please try the following steps and answer results.

  • Tecra Z50 - need to connect two external monitors

    * Hi-speed III Port Replicator is not an option, because it is not available in my country (Croatia).

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

    > * Hi-speed III port replicator is not an option because it is not available in my country (Croatia).
    What of the Dynadock? Its an external device connected to the s for computer laptop USB port.
    It supports own graphic unit and you can connect to another external monitor such Dynadock 2nd.
