• How to add a second monitor to my HP - Pavilion 500

  I am trying to add a second monitor to my desktop HP Pavilion 500 (model No. 500-189) and met with many problems. At the back of my PC there is a video output that comes with several adapters, but under a plastic cover, there is an another VGA port I have my second monitor plugged into. When I restart the computer, the loading screen appears on the screen to spare, but the lock screen then appears on the primary monitor. I went to the screen resolution setting page and discovered that the computer has not detected the second monitor at all, I pressed on detect a couple of times and he couldn't find it. If anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix it please let me know. Moreover, the second monitor I'm trying to connect to is a LG Flatron and the main monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster.

  If anyone needs my computer guru please meet demand and I'd be happy to let you know.

  Thank you!

• How to activate only the monitor and disable laptop external display?

  I have a widescreen monitor Setup at work and to activate the external monitor, however always want to use the keyboard of the laptop for all my typing. Is there a way to disable the screen of my laptop (since no matter what single arrangement will cause some RSI) and have only the display of the external monitor?

  I was able to do this under windows, with an option to display 'Extended '.

  I'm not sure there is an OS X equivalent to 'Extended screen only', but if I understand what you want to try it properly:

  With the external monitor connected, in the Apple menu > System Preferences > displays click the Arrangement tab move the bar on the external display. Then position the laptop screen so that the upper right corner is aligned with the lower-left corner of the outside (it's evil to make you hover over accidentally to the wrong screen):

  

  Close the preferences window by clicking on the red button at the top left.

  Now on your laptop, turn off your laptop screen brightness completely.

• ENVY Beats All - In - One Desktop: how to connect a second monitor/TV to HP ENVY Beats all-in-One

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is even possible to plug a second monitor HP ENVY Beats all-in-one desktop PC, because I'm trying to connect my TV as a second monitor via HDMI, and I tried everything I could, but came empty-handed?

  Hello

  What is the product/model of your AIO machine? I have a lot of cases, you cannot use HDMI port to connect to a TV, because it's the HDMI IN port. You need USB - HDMI converter/adapter to connect to a TV (or monitor).

  Kind regards.

• How to activate a second video card?

  I bought my laptop with an upgrade to a NVIDIA GeForce GT 525 M video card. After you download an architectural program, the program said that it detects both 2 video cards. The manufacturer of the program said that the video card, I use Intel(r) HD Graphics Family, is not powerful enough for the graphic design of the program. and I have to activate the NVIDIA card. I had no idea I was not running with the GeForce card I have speced. How can I go on the activation of the card NVIDIA I want to use, and disable the other?

  Hi GoldJr,

  As a first step, you need to connect the cable from the monitor to the new video card and check if it helps.

  If the problem persists, you then need to enable from BIOS, for this you need to contact the computer manufacturer for assistance.

  Hi Fraser

  As far as I know it of not possible to set the external monitor as the main screen on startup.
  But what the graphics card is installed on your laptop?
  On the Toshiba site I found a new version of the Intel display driver.
  But is it possible to automatically activate the external display and set it to the main monitor without using the docking station?
