    Press the Windows logo key and the p key, and then set up the PC to display on the built-in monitor only cycle through with the arrow key.  You can make this Store if you want - key Windows-p, right arrow once, paused for a few seconds & the laptop monitor should then appear normally.

    You can do so at the end of each session using the external display while you are ready for the use of the laptop on its own later.

    Hello

    The laptop supports a HDMI port and a VGA (RGB) output port.
    If you are using VGA output port, then he must connect the two machines (laptop and external monitor) using a VGA cable like this:

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • How can I change the video display Mode when the monitor mode not supported?

    While creating my new monitor, I changed the computer video display mode at 120 Hz by accident.  Now I see something on the monitor other than the words not taken in CHARGE the MODE.

    My system is a new HP Pavilion p7-1423W running Windows 8.1 with Intel i5-2320 3 ghz

    I tried the start mode by pressing ESC on power but do not help the startup options.  And the just F11 menu option makes the startup screen disapear and puts the monitor mode not supported.  Tapping F8 doen't work and tapping F12 just puts me in the bios menus that do not help.

    How can I upgrade the video card integrated with a video mode that is supported when I can't see the screen?

    I answer my own question because I found my solution, thanks to my grandson (freshman to Renselear Politech).

    I shoot to buy a monitor that displays a refresh rate of 120, so I could put my rear view.

    Here is the solution.

    My computer double exit DVI.  My grandson told me to connect my new monitor to the other output because the output does not get touched when I changed the original mode of production.  He has worked and is automatically selects the default monitors mode.  Then I've reconfigured the original output using the integrated display software. Solved!

  • Cannot use Sync to transfer them to my new laptop

    I'm trying to transfer my Firefox on my new laptop computer info. By attempting to use Sync to try to accomplish, I ran into the following sequence of problems:

    1. I went to set up sync in the drop of Firefox and received a set of three, four characters codes to enter in my laptop Firefox.
    2. I went to the Options in my laptop computer and clicked on Sync there.
    3. I clicked on the pair a device, entered my office codes and clicked OK.
    4. on the account details screen, I have entered my email address (I got no problem for more than 10 years) and was informed that the address was already in use. I assumed that this meant that I didn't actually have a sync account established.
    5. I went back to the previous screen, this time by clicking on I have an account, and then click OK.
    6. on the login screen I entered my account email address (since I'm not aware of any other account name or number to use) and that of the passwords that I sometimes used with this address.
    7. any password I entered (of those that I can remember), the next button remains greyed out, since there is no recovery key to enter.
    8. I have returned to my desktop and went to Sync under Options. However, despite what is said in the window of the connection on the laptop, there is no button or link to manage my account or my recovery key that appears in the window on my desktop. All I get is the same create a new account or I have an account options.
    9. I am not aware of ever created an account of synchronization, and even fewer have received and registered a recovery key. However, to verify that I don't actually have an account, I used Firefox to change my password, that allowed me to do so without incident. I take this as a confirmation that I don't actually have a sync account. In any case, I can't create a new account on my existing email address or access to any account that I have because I don't have a recovery key. And I have no way to identify the recovery key.

    So I'm at a loss on how to proceed from here. I usually found things setting in Firefox would we apply and simple. But it's becoming one of the most frustrating experiences I've had with computers. I tried to do this job more than a dozen times today, using different stages or levels of steps (e.g. from the laptop rather that the office, from the Options rather than configuring the synchronization menu drop-down).

    Can anyone help to understand what goes wrong, so I can get this set up?

    Have you ever set up sync on this computer?

    If you want to reset the sync data and download data synchronization server, you need to reset the key to sync or delete the account and start from scratch.

  • If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

    If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

    Original title: can anyone help please?

    Hello

    You can take a safe backup.

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.
