Dell 8 with Windows 8.1 place - help! -Wrong selected Second monitor only

Hello community! :

I'm in desperate here.  I tried to get my Widi to interact with my TV so I could broadcast a film... and he did not communicate.  So, as the rocket door in mind that I'm... I started to choose each display option (two monitors, extended display and then second monitor only).  When I chose "second monitor only" well, as I had no second monitor to extend to the... I completely lost the video feature... now I can't tell if my tablet is enabled, disabled, what screen is on, etc.  I don't even know if it works.  I tried all the function keys with a wireless keyboard that I have, I tried control/alt/delete to reboot, tried to turn off and restart but nothing... can't even say if its enabled or disabled.  It started last night.  I plugged in to charge overnight and hope maybe he would zero or something... but no dice.  Same thing today.  At one point last night after losing the video features and after pressing a lot too many buttons on the keyboard... I heard some orders from the speaker as a sort of handicap help but then he disappeared and nothing more.  I was hoping there would be a key like FN F4 combination or something I could press to return to the PC only.  I tried the Windows key and P..but nothing happened.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

St. Lamar:

I learned to never say never and never say always.  Windows has not reinstated the return... where the problem I had.  And no reboot, long hand on the power button, ctrl/alt/del or any other method of restart seemed to work.  Believe me... I tried these obvious things thinking he should be back... but he wouldn't even restart.  Work with any computer in the dark isn't easy... the only thing you can use is the keyboard... so my thoughts were to use the keyboard commands.  The keyboard command to bring up the menu that allows you to switch between monitors is the windows key and the "P"... I tried several times... but he still do nothing.

I post the same question on forum Windows 8 and got a response from a user who was told to use the windows and 'p' key, then wait a couple seconds and then press "enter" as if the screen was on, these commands should bring up the menu and then the default would be the 'screen of the PC only"and hit then"enter"would complement the selection back to the tablet screen.  I fiddled with that for a minute or two and still no dice.  Because I have no screen and after so many keys and trying to restart... it's anyone guess what my computer screen was in.  But then I thought, maybe the default selection was not "Just the PC screen"... so I thought maybe if I tried the windows key and 'P', then use my arrow keys and press on enter... maybe I could bring it back like that.  Well after several attempts... I guess I got the right of association and it has actually come back.

Thanks for your advice... and you reply to my message.

  • Computer Dell laptop with Windows 7, upgrade to IE9 and now the computer is slow

    Original title: did someone really knows what I need to do?

    I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 (I have set accidetally to level internet explorer to 9 widows. I need to Java and Adobe. But my computer is slow. I do not know what prorams that I need to run start or to uninstall... Someone really knows what I need to do?

    FYI: with a topic like this, you have 2 strikes against you. Most of the people don't bother wasting time looking to see what your problem...  Next time be brief and specific about your problem, is to give an application (with version) and the code error or describe your problem briefly.

    If you don't want to be a Guinea pig, you can follow these instructions to uninstall Explorer 9:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/help/IE-9/How-do-i-install-or-uninstall-Internet-Explorer-9

    Looks like you want to control the programs that run at startup, right? It is always a good thing to do. You can run MSCONFIG (type in the search window on the start menu).  See the "Startup" tab  So, you can use other applications to display the same information. For example, CCleaner has a 'tool' that does the same thing.  NirSoft does: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_run_in_startup.html

    Browse the list of questions, and if you decide all. For example many applications load stub apps to speed up their startup. If you do not use all the days of the app, uncheck the box and it does not load.  If you do not recognize, this is often the case, track the location of path or to register 'Command' to try to understand what program it is for.  Use google to search for file names. Other people have asked the same question and got answers on the importance of the application is.

    Related, another thing to work is 'Services' (new type who, in the start menu, look for the window). They are a special software that runs in the background to provide services such as faxing or printing. Yet once, often you need not all services.  You can find a lot of information on how to do this in Google search for "Harden Win XP" or related expressions. They call it "Soak" because in this context deactivation of services makes your computer safer, more 'hard' hack by eliminating the places to be hacked.  Don't you worry that many of the articles are 5 or more years, they will be still valid.  Here are some links to help you get started:

  • I had to buy the computer Dell laptop with Windows preinstalled 8

    I bought Dell Inspiron with windows preinstalled 8.  Now, I want to add functionality in windows, but it requires that my Windows product key and I have no product key. Society doesn't give me any card or sticker with key... Is it possible to find my laptop computer product key?

    and sorry for my BAD English...!

    Hello Shoaib,

    Your computer comes pre-installed with Windows 8. You can extract the product key on the basis of good records, but it will not help you add functionality to your edition of Windows. To add features (Windows 8 Pro Pack or Media Center Pack) to your existing windows, you must purchase a product key that is completely different from your product key of Windows 8.

    Hope this helps,

  • laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc.

    I heard that after a few years of use, Windows-based computers lose their ability to function. This happened to me before and I bought a new laptop. Now, I think that it happens again. The laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc... He is also declining my VPN connection occasionally, but also my direct connection is very slow. Latency shows speedtest software provided by the ISP in addition of 250 ms, download speed of 1 MB/s (compared with 8 planned) and 0.05Mbps download. The ISP has corrected this once, but I'm wondering now if it is the computer which is slow rather than on the network because my laptop works well on the same network/router. Is there one solution to this other than another new laptop?

    Jonathan,

    You say that your computer is slow, but all of the examples you give are rather than slow computer operations slow network communications.  To avoid any unnecessary work, check how fast the computer is on the tasks that don't use any network.

    If it works fine for tasks not network then you can concentrate on the problems of network as being the only concern.

    It has also become very slow for no network tasks you should study other causes.  Just as an example: If, like me, you sleep / turn off the computer when you are not using it then defrag will never work, so you can run it manually to make sure that doesn't cause problems.   Describe your symptoms in this thread so that someone can advise on the best course of action.

    In the unlikely case where you must run Dell Factory Image Restore, then the instructions are in your manual PC *.  Before doing this, run Dell Datasafe Local Backup then click on Backup, recovery to create - media allows you to create a bootable USB of the partition that you can use the normal procedure that failing Dell Factory Image Restore [to do this, even if you have already solved your problems so that you could face if the hard drive has failed never completely].

  • Have a Dell PC with Windows XP Home Edition with restoration, internet and the program of the questions that I went into the details in the body of the present.

    I have a Dell with Windows XP Home Edition system that uses the internet connection. Friday, he had a problem with images in line being "pixel-ed", which means that the image was blurred and boxes. So I did a restore of the system back as much as she would in July and concluded that the IAF has a program called accelerator that had been implemented to go faster, but eventually would make very good images. Then, I got that part fixed but now a game that I play "Mahjongg" won't play right and when I go to the area "help and support" to try to reschedule, so it don't open even now. Can someone help me please? Thank you

    Thanks for the help. I returned and reinstalled everything, even if it was already installed and now everything works.
