EliteBook 8760w: 8760w with HDTV as second moniter Elitebook, download windows entartrés when switching from the laptop to the TV.

Graphics card: AMD over-pants M5950

TV: Insignia NS-32L240A13

I recently bought a DisplayPort to HDMI Cable to connect my laptop (with the DisplayPort) on my HDTV (with HDMI port). When I have them hooked up and extended my screen on tv, everything went well in the beginning. The operating system showed my office on tv exactly as I expected. However, when I moved one of my windows above (Google Chrome to be precise) from my laptop to the TV, the size of the window to expand. Immediately, I thought it was a problem of resolution so I opened the AMD Catalyst Control Center to check the settings on my TV. He said that the format is standard 1080 p 60 (1920x1080@60Hz), exactly what I thought it should be. Then I noticed that when I go to detect screens and click on identify, the 2 big which is supposed to appear right in the middle of the screen appeared in the lower right of the screen. On this basis, I determined that the problem must be that my graphics card think my tv screen is bigger than it actually is. The first thing I did after has been updated of my Chipset drivers and graphics, but which has no effect. After the search of all the nooks and crannies of the Catalyst Control Center and try to find someone else on the internet with this specific problem, I couldn't find any way to get my windows to the right size and get 2 (from by clicking the button all identify) to appear in the center of the screen where it is supposed to be.

Some additional notes:

  • In the screen resolution of Microsoft menu in the Control Panel, clicking on identify with my puts selected tv 2 in the Center where it should be, is only to Catalyst Control Center who gets hurt.
  • I tried using a different TV, but he had the same problem.
  • When I connect my laptop to my tv via a VGA cable, everything seems fine and has the correct size. (My VGA cable is only a few feet, so I have to buy a longer in order to to use;) I try to avoid this. And honestly, an HDMI DisplayPort connection / should work better than a VGA connection, anyway.)

If you have any ideas on how to fix this or if you would like more information, please let me know.

Thank you for your time.

Update:

I tried to get help from my friend with this and at one point during our investigation, we hung his laptop to the TV using a mini-hdmi to hdmi cable. We found that he had the same problem of sizing as me which begs the question, is simply how the hdmi connections are supposed to work? If so, it is very annoying and I expect there to be a setting somewhere to turn it off, but I can't seem to find it.

Well, I thought that the problem, and honestly I'm pretty embarrassed that I didn't understand it sooner. In the resolution of the screen control panel screen there is a link written as 'Make text and other items more or less '. That takes you to a page that has a setting for the size of all the items on the desktop with 3 smaller averages, options and more. Normally, I have this game to kids, but for some reason my DisplayPort output was the default setting of the support. I changed it to smaller and now everything looks the way I expect to. Hooray!

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

  • HP Elitebook 8570p - Windows XP USB very slow and the transfer rate performance issues.

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone else knows some performance issues with the HP Elitebook 8570p and Windows XP Pro - SP3.

    I get a VERY slow start, general poor performance (waiting time when opening files and programs).

    I asked to burn in tests that show that everything is good.

    USB transfer rates are VERY slow (tried all ports of a Seagate FreeAgent USB drive, which works fine on other laptops etc.) for example a 30-minute transfer a 7gig single file of the USB HD on the desktop. Only 3 minutes to do the same on another laptop.

    I think there are problems with the drivers, like Windows 7 works very well and does boot from a bootable USB.

    USB transfer rate are also good when starting from a Windows boot environment.

    I installed HP SoftPaq Download Manager, and all the drivers are up to date.

    Hello:

    I think outside of the box here... Select the Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller instead.

    If it does not, I raise the white flag.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash when you're back running.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Upgrading laptop with ssd. Can I use a Windows 7 system image to install the new ssd?

    Bought nww laptop with Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit and the other pre-installed software. No records have been provided. I want to replace the hard drive with ssd. No other changes. I can create a system image on a dvd and physically swap the drives. I can then install Win 7 using the system image, I created? What other software (Microsoft and elsewhere)? If this is not the case, how can I do without having to buy new software?

    You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

    See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

    Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

  • Trying to remove virus format hard drive - when booting from the Windows XP CD, don't teach me to press a button to proceed with the installation?

    Trying to remove virus, need to format the hard drive to remove all programs to remove the virus.  I ran several security programs which has not found a virus.  Taken at Best Buy, they ran their programs, could not detect viruses, but said there are something certainly on my system.  System is pegged almost 100% all the time, so I can't really use the pc.

    Reinstalling the operating system is usually not necessary to remove the malware, but if you're convinced that this is necessary (it is sometimes), this guide is a good:

    http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    (this assumes that you have the appropriate Windows XP installation CD)

    Of course, you will need to boot from the CD instead of the hard drive. This page explains that:

    http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm

    You also need to install the hardware drivers. I hope that you have them on CD, too. If this is not the case, the web site of the manufacturer of PC should have them.

    Since a clean install wipes EVERYTHING, you should have all your data copied beforehand.

  • New Document window are missing when you open the new document, along with other menu items: object style, the effect controls panel, etc.

    Miss me a lot of items, it seems that in my InDesign program.  How can this be?  I'm taking a class at the local college (inDesign CS6), and when you go through the book and steps, I keep noticing that I'm missing things.  For example: when I open a new Document - No new window does not appear on my screen, and there is no way to change the page size, etc. that appears. (2.) there is no object Styles Panel - window > Styles > Styles object - but the option object Styles does not exist.  3.) there are no available effects Panel, either. As I continue the race, things keep getting showing like that.  What is going on?  I do not have something wrong; My instructor verified that indeed these things seem to be missing.  I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium disc for Windows operating system.  Help, please!

    I had problems to install the drive, but thanks to someone in the forum, I have put everything on the desktop and installed in this way.  What why what is happening?

    In fact, you must return to the extensions Manager in all cases and make sure that all of the Adobe extensions are checked on.
