Dual monitor configuration

• Windows Snap function does not work inside a Setup dual monitor.

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 fully updated.  So far, it's great. But I have two monitors, 1440 x 900 primary and secondary 1280 x 1024 with the secondary monitor on the right of the main screen. When I try to 'break' a window on the edge of each monitor located next to the other monitor, nothing happens.  I was wondering if it was a typical problem people have seen or if it was just me and if there is no way to do work or if there was a patch for it. (A built-in feature of Google chrome "fit" allows inside monitors). Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  The action which engages a window on the side of a monitor, when you drag a window, is when the cursor comes in contact with the last row of pixels on the edge of the screen. Since there is no physical "edge" where monitors meet on a dual monitor configuration by dragging a window to that location does not work.

  You can always break a window inside edge on a double configuration monitor using the keyboard.

• 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

• 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?

• Dual monitor - not compatible with this signal TV

  original title: dual monitor

  Hello!

  I connected my laptop to my LCD TV and chose the option to only display on the external monitor.  Unfortunately I get the error message on my TV "not compatible with this signal.  Because it does not work and I can't see I can't change all the options in the display configuration.  How can I restore my original settings so that when I connect to my TV the picture is displayed on my laptop?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Try typing the F8 key before Windows starts to appear in the start menu and select this option to start safe mode.  Make the changes to the view that you need to save and restart.  You can also try to plug an external monitor instead of your TV to see if you can see a picture then and make the necessary changes.

• Mode Dual monitor: can I extend the main display from right to left?

  I have a Setup dual monitor with

  Main screen with desktop computer: Dell S42092

  Secondary display: Inspiron notebook.

  Is there a way to extend from left to right?  I wish I had my secondary screen (laptop) positioned on my left, not the right, which seems to be the only way that the configuration of the resolution of the screen allows you to do.  I currently configured as

  Display (2) Dell s24092

  Several screens: extend these screens (this allows me to drag from left to right, which is not intuitive if the laptop is on the right.

  If I can't do it with this configuration, this work with another monitor, type?

  Trudy-o

  My OS is Windows 7, but I've been to the screen "Changes the appearance of your poster" you describe.

  It identifies the laptop as monitor 1 and the S24092 Dell Monitor 2. It allows me to do 1 or 2, my main screen, but it does allow me to pass the identity of 1 and 2.   Therefore, any screen is my main screen, management of drag forces me out of the side right of the main screen (the great Dell) before entering the screen of the computer, which I turned to the left.  I am left handed and I smile with my left hand, and I'd rather have my secondary monitor to my left.  Is it makes sense?

  The identity is to tell you, visually, that is, whose number has no significance. The computer screen will always be 1 and the outside will be always high because you can not disconnect and because it will be the first computer find at boot.

  To put secondary (2) on the other side, press the image of monitors, monitor 2 drag it to the other side of the #1 and press apply then / adjust displays are flashing and if he succeeds, it will appear a window with a 15 seconds timer to reset the display if no one pressed the Yes button.

  Basically, you want to match the image with your configuration.

  I'm left-handed too, but use the mouse with your right hand. and I have a laptop with Vista and an external monitor (primary) to the left of the laptop.

• Dual monitor installed on Inspiron 3487

  I'm reposting this question here posted with no luck in the Dell Forum of bureau-video community. BTW, my OS is Windows 8.1 64bits.

  I just bought a Dell Inspiron desktop i3847-5386BK and I am trying to achieve a Setup dual monitor with 2 monitors 24 "widescreen LED Dell E2414Hr.

  The specifications for the detailed but photos also Office of front, back and inside the computer are here:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16883156238

  Basically, the Office has 1 VGA port, 1 HDMI port and multi-port USB 2.0/3.0

  Specifications for the monitor, but also detailed photos are here:

  http://www.microcenter.com/product/420579/e2414hr_24_widescreen_led_monitor

  Basically, the monitor has 1 VGA and 1 DVI - D port

  The first monitor is already connected from the port VGA monitors to the VGA port of the desktop computer via the VGA cable supplied with the monitor.

  My question is about the best way to connect the second monitor. One option is to get a HDMI cable at one end (office) and DVI - D at the other end (monitor). The computer will be able to manage this dual output and adjust automatically to both monitors or it will require some changes of setting? The computer lacks a dedicated to my knowledge graphics card and my main goal is to use these monitors independently with occasional extended desktop display.

  Also, are there better options for the office monitor the connection in this case as a (office) HDMI to VGA (monitor)? I saw online that the HDMI cables at one end and VGA on the other end could be a scam because it is not possible to convert a digital signal to analog without converter, but also there are people who say this type of cable works fine. Are there better options to connect the second monitor using the USB ports on the computer? Given that one of my monitors is already connected via a VGA cable VGA will be the second different monitor everything in terms of brightness, readability etc if it has a DVI - D instead of VGA input? Finally, what would be a place to get the converter/cable recommended discount?

  Sorry for the post of multiple question since a long time, but any help on this would be much appreciated and will help other institutions. Thank you in advance!

  Computer output VGA--> VGA cable VGA--> #1 E2414Hr VGA in
  Output HDMI--> HDMI to DVI cable to computer--> 2 # E2414Hr DVI in

  Once connected, open the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel and configure the second monitor.

• Dual monitor problems

  I have been using two monitors (1 monitor my primary monitor, 2 monitor showing an extension of monitor 1) for several years now. All of a sudden, monitor 2 links is no longer. I swapped the connections from the cables to the back of my Tower. When I started my computer, startup began the 2 monitor, but as soon as Windows is fully booted, 1 monitor again became the primary monitor and 2 the screen went black. I guess this isn't a hardware problem.

  After some tinkering on the video card Control Panel, I could get 2 monitor to display, but it is no longer made reference the name of the 2 monitor (Asus) as a monitor. It refers to the second screen as "Digital Display" and considers it a generic Non - PnP monitor. I don't understand how it happened, why it happened or how to get my second screen displays correctly again. Currently, monitor 2 a haywire resolution, and I can't improve it (my own, its because he does not recognize the Asus monitor properly and does not know the capabilities of resolution of it).

  I hope someone can understand my problem and is able to help, because I simply can't understand it.

• The main screen becomes secondary in a Setup dual monitor (DVI-HDMI)

  Original title: WINDOWS PROGRAMMERS: problem with OS Windows7 not being not able change the numbers of identifiers when using multiple screens and HDMI

  To be clear... This problem is with the Win7 OS - no video card GUI that allow to change number ID display on multiple monitors.

  Problem with several screens and the use of HDMI cables substituent and #1 assuming that for its corresponding display view identifier.

  Not always ID desired.

  But there is no way to change this.

  EXAMPLE:

  Monitor is configured as primary display (ID #1) using a DVI cable

  Then I connect my SONY Bravia or my LG HDTV displays using HDMI cables, the new screen automatically takes over as the display identifier #1 and the monitor becomes identifier #2.

  -This introduces to the identifiers is not something I want, need or want to deal with every time I use several displays. And it creates problems.

  There is NO way to correct or modify the identifiers.

  Please provide a FIX as soon as possible if you have an ounce of concern for the customer service.

  The solution can be as simple as:

  GO to THE control panel - appearance and customization - display - change display settings:

  Right CLICK... on one of the displays in the window to the left of "Detect" / "identify."

  Then the OPTION 'Change display login' with a list of relevant identifier numbers according to the number of multiple connected screens.

  Click 'apply '.

  CLICK ON 'OK '.

  and Voila! View identifiers are defined.

  We, your customers, look forward to the difficulty of Windows update that contains this fix a lot expected and necessary.

  Hi Jean-Pierre.

  Thank you for all the information related to the issue.

  This problem may occur if the display of the configuration settings dual monitor retain the configuration. Possible reasons could be installed on the computer outdated display driver.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer or the graphics card?
  2. Are you using double display card? Sometimes changing the display settings for the display cards might solve the problem.

  First of all, if you have a display of the map or media panel installed on the computer, go to the control panel and change the setting under multiple display change. Assign the identity number according to the status monitor, then check if it retains the configuration when you restart the computer.

  Additionally, make sure that you have installed the latest version of the display driver for Windows 7 from the website of the manufacturer of the computer. Sometimes, if the driver is not being updated, the setting may not keep the entire installation. See the link to know how to update the driver on Windows 7:

  Please keep us informed.

• Dual display configuration

  I think I have 2 monitors for my next PC. However, the question I have is that I want the primary monitor to be right and the second monitor to be on the left. That means I want the start menu and taskbar on the right screen. There is no way for me to test now if that goal is achievable. Is it possible to configure this in Windows 7?

  The main display has to get the taskbar - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/10388-display-change-main-display.html

  Additional information - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/move-windows-between-multiple-monitors#1TC=windows-7

  But there seems to be a limit in certain circumstances - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2002029/en-us

  There are 3rd party apps (I have not tried) that can put a taskbar on each monitor if the worst happens. Applications like - http://www.howtogeek.com/94920/dual-monitor-taskbar-is-an-open-source-taskbar-extender-for-windows-7/ there are others. As I say I did not tried them so not say how good or bad they are.

• I have a Setup dual monitor.  When I paste develop settings from one image to the other, Lightroom going on the active window.

  Strange problem.  5.5 Lightroom.  Windows 8.1. Setting up dual monitor.

  I am processing a lot important photos.  I have #1 monitor set as my main to develop the window with #2 monitor configured only to display a larger version of the image, I work with. If I copy the parameters of development out of a picture and try to paste them on another image, Lightroom will increase from the #1 to the monitor #2 monitor in the main window to develop and does not display anything on the monitor #1.

  If I then try to paste develop settings on another image on the monitor #2, LR then displays a larger version of the image, I have been working with the #1 monitor.

  To work like I want to, I have to constantly drag my develop the window back to the #1 monitor whenever I try to paste the settings on a new image of development. How can I make this stop?

  I have similar (but different) problems dual monitor. Just posted this on my thread unanswered. It may be useful:

  Blessed excrement! After frustrating months of bi-ecrans LR questions and a month of waiting for an answer on this forum, I called Adobe technical support.

It is a stretch... a biiiiig stretch... but he is feels/figure/seems that PhotoShop CC update has fixed my bi-ecrans LR problems! I'll keep track of what other programs I use and open while LR - ing to see if they are relaxing, but for now, everything is quite in front of two monitors.
