• External monitor like main screen for M200 with docking station

  Hi all

  I have a Tablet M200 with GeForce FX go 5200. I have a Toshiba docking station and an external LCD display. When it is docked, I would use the external LCD as main display and the LCD builtin as the secondary display. (I want the taskbar, icons and newly opened windows on the external screen when it is docked.)

  Unfortunately, I can't find the right combination of settings of this. If I put Windows to extend the desktop on the external screen, "use it as primary display" option is grayed out. I don't get the span horizontally or vertically options in the nView utility, just the Standard and the Clone (and this only if I do not extend to the office.)

  How can I get the external screen be the main while being the internal school?

  Thanks in advance!
  Kind regards

• Satellite A200-1AE: how to set external monitor like main screen on Win XP

  Model: A200-1AE
  OPERATING SYSTEM: XP SP2

  I want to use the external display in Windows XP. It would be necessary that the external display is the main thing and office expansion took place on the computer screen. The driver, downloaded from your site do not do... If this possibility is, in Windows Vista.

  How it is possible to solve my problem?

  Hello

  As far as I know that's not possible. In my case, this option is grayed out!

  But maybe it is possible on your laptop. In this case, you must Access the properties of the graphics card. Then go to the last tab called settings.

  There, you must mark the 2 screen and activate the option called use this device as the primary monitor.
  But if this option is not available you will not be able to settle this!

• Tecra S2: Definition of external monitor like main display

  Hi all

  last week I got a new laptop Tecra S2 and I have the problem to my external monitor like main screen in dual display mode. The section in the window is grayed out.

  Anyone know how can I enable this feature?

  On my old laptop (Tecra S1 with ATI graphics card) there was no problem to move the main exit from the internal to the external display.

  Sincerely,
  Martin

  Hi Martin

  As much as I know it is not possible to set the external monitor as primary. The LCD cell is always set as primary. I use Tecra M1 (similar to S1) and this option is grayed out too.

  In my Office I use it with docking station and external monitor. When Windows starts the first appears on the external display, but the log in window is still shown at laptop LCD.

  Sorry, but it's like it was. Designed Toshiba display driver has been installed on your old Tecra S1?

• Cannot set external monitor like main window on T500

  How can I configure my external monitor as the main in Vista window when it is connected to the docking station DVI port mini?
  "My problem is that the check box ' this is my main monitor" is always disabled after having extended my desktop to monitor 4.

  The external monitor is loaded as screen 4. (Screen 3 is the T500 and 1 & 2 is assigned to the internal Intel screen card that is not in use)

  Thank you
  Philippe

  Vista because of grief in this regard and we have never seen a good answer about why.

  The good news is the utility Thinkpad Presentation Director - fire just that upward and step through the wizard. It will allow you to set up your monitors as you wish and save it as a profile. In most of the situations that the configuration will be available when anchor you, but worst case are you just select the profile of the PD icon in the task bar (or the value of the checkbox to automatically apply whenever the laptop is connected).

  I want to emphasize however that we have to make these options - the great victory is the ability to put primary watching for whatever reason Microsoft has grayed out in regular checkups.

  Best,

  Kevin

  P.S. If you really don't want to see the configuration of four screens and that you will not use the switchable graphics in the BIOS you can set discrete graphics (only) display rather than switchable. You will still likely PD to define primary/Main.

  PPS you should also be able to do through the ATI Catalyst Control Center, but in some cases that makes you stop more than the PD Assistant.

• Inspiron 7720 SE 17 ": how to connect two external monitor?

  Is possible to connect this laptop external monitor 7720 to two (don't mind if computer screen is disabled or duplicate).

  I have two samsung 21 '' monitor (HD).

  If so, how?

  Hi, I would like to participate.

  I wonder if one of you can confirm that it is impossible to use this inspiron 7720 in a configuration triple monitor (no duplication but only stretching from the screen)? I wonder because it is usually possible with maps of optimus and win7/8 but not this time - could only manage to run 2 of the three.

  And to answer riscy00: Why use a splitter? Simply use HDMI and vga, and turn off the screen of the laptop. I did it today.

• CQ60-207EL, how to see BIOS external monitor?

  Hello

  I have an old laptop CQ60-207EL that has a broken screen, then I connected to an external monitor, and when the operating system is loaded, everything works fine.  However, I want to install Windows 7 from USB and I need to get into the BIOS to change the boot order (hard drive is now first). If I press F10 when tha laptop is turned on, I can see that the boot process stops, so I think it penetrates into the BIOS, but I do not see in the external monitor. I tried fn + F4, but nothing happens. The external monitor is defined as primary, but it only works when the operating system starts.

  Any idea on how to display the BIOS on the external screen?

  Thank you!

• Portege R600 - how to use the external monitor on the docking automatically

  Hi - I just got a new Portege; R600-102. It's a great machine - very light and fast.

  I connect to a Slim port replicator to the office and I wish I could anchor and automatically use the external monitor without opening the laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it? This process has worked well on my recently retired Dell X 300.

  More precisely:
  # I have the laptop closed Portégé and standby mode
  # I anchor in the Slim Port Replicator (SPR)
  # I press the button 'on' on the SPR
  # I see the message "recovery windows" and the bars of the countdown on the external monitor. (So I know it's connected and you can see the external monitor)
  # The laptop turns on but use the laptop screen (private) LCD
  # I have to open it and manually tell it 'out to watch.
  What can be automatically?

  Thanks for the tips.

• How to connect an external monitor to the hp slate 21 pro

  I have a HP Slate 21 Pro. Anyone know how I can connect an external monitor to reflect what's on my tab

  Hello

  There is no way to connect an external cable monitor such that HDMI port is entered only.

  Your only solution would be to use the wireless display option in the settings, but you would need a monitor/TV/adapter that would work as a Miracast receiver.  I'm not sure specific screens that function as receptors, but I used adapters are the PTV3000 Netgear and Actiontec SBWD100A01,.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards
