How to set up two monitors on Lenovo T420 with docking station.
I have a T420 on a docking station (cradle ThinkPad series 3, #4333710U)- and two monitors (each aprox 24 "). I tried several variations using the NVIDIA display as well as the native Windows Display Manager (7) and am unable to render images on the two external displays. Can someone please help?
Hi John,.
Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.
I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to determine the root cause of the problem.
Did you do last changes made on your computer before this problem?
Have you tried to monitor primary as secondary and vice versa?
All device drivers are updated?
After reading your post, I understand that you want to use two monitors with extended view, then you can try the steps in the following Microsoft article and see if it helps.
Move windows between multiple monitors
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/move-Windows-between-multiple-monitors#1TC=Windows-7
If the problem persists, then pass to the below mentioned method and see if it helps.
Method 1
If you haven't tried Exchange monitors so I suggest you to try and see if the problem still occurs.
To change the settings of two monitors you can consult the links below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-display-settings-on-multiple-monitors
Note: This link is also applicable for Windows 7 .
Method 2
If the problem persists I suggest you to update the display drivers. As the display drivers for two monitors are not the same, so try to update and check the status.

How to set up two monitors on Envy 700-210
Greetings,
You want to set up two monitors on a stock like 700-210. A monitor will be a 27xi of HP with DVI and the other is a Dell with VGA.
How it accomplishes this feat?
Thank you!
Hello
Please first try the following connection:
1 VGA monitor to the VGA port
2. the other monitor to the DVI port
The video chip on your computer is not really good for both monitors. You may need to buy a better video card. Specifications:

I have therefore two monitors EliteDisplay E231 that I would use to set up a dual display screen. They have all two cables to VGA connection, but unfortunately the ultraslim dock has only a VGA port on the back. I tried to plug in the dock and the other to the computer itself, but that has not worked.
How can I go on the establishment of a dual monitor set up? Is this possible?

How to set up two monitors with screen LCD and HDTV on computer that is running Windows 7
Issues of identity and position monitor
I use a LCD and an HD TV on my computer. I have HDTV mounted to my left on the wall in my room and the LCD is on my desk in front of me. I have my monitor set as my main screen and HDTV as secondary. Windows identifies the HDTV as monitor 1 and my screen LCD 2. After starting the computer they work very well as they should. My problem is during the boot process. When the computer starts, it displays only the boot screen/POST on monitor 1 (HDTV) but not my main screen #2 (LCD). This is a problem when I don't have my HDTV now, I don't see the MESSAGE options. I don't want to always have my HDTV and crane my neck every time I need to change the BIOS settings or use the MESSAGE options. Is there any solution for this?

Hi Darth Polizei,
I hope that's not redundant but did you try to set your monitor 19 "as the main display?
- In the screen resolution window, you click the icon of the monitor that represents the secondary monitor.
- You click to select the "Make my main screen" check box, and then click OK.
- You log out of the computer.
- You log on to the computer.
Please let us know.
Thank you!

I'm trying to set up two monitors
I'm trying to set up two monitors on my computer. Currently, I use XP. I have two monitors showing the same on both. I would like to be able to use the second screen to only email or a spreadsheet. Surely I'm missing some instruction. I use two monitors with a VGA splitter.
I'm sure that when you use a separator, you won't be able to use the extended desktop mode.

Tecra M5: Double monitors with docking station?
Hello
I have a Tecra M5 with docking station, in the past with other laptops, I was able to hook up a monitor by using the analog port and the other with digital and used both with the screen down.
This seems not possible on this new, I have options to perform a monitor with the laptop or with a TV screen, but not two monitors to separate whole.
Everyone was able to get this to work if so how? Graphix is the NVIDIA Quadro NVS btw.
Thank you
Hello
It is very interesting, but all I know is not possible. I'm not sure at 100%, but for something like that you need a special graphics card that supports something like that.
The same situation is with my Tecra. But the idea with two external displays is not bad. :)

How to extend to two monitors?
I have a Macbook Pro that I bought this year. I want to connect it to my KVM DVI switch for two monitors. It will work with a bolt of lightning for two adapters to DVI ports? If so, any recommendations on what card? If option 1 is not possible, I guess I need two crush on DVI adapters. However, without worrying that we I get, I need to work in extended mode and not just mirroring. Is this possible with the MacBook Pro?
I'm looking at present one this one on Amazon. Any recommendation is also appreciated.
with the exception of the Apple ThunderBolt display NO display use ThunderBolt directly. They all pick up a subset of the ThunderBolt signals off the same connector, called Mini DisplayPort. Mini DisplayPort and its twin full size are "next generation" display interfaces.
DisplayPort family attribute this and display-decision makers interface wanted to for a long time. Refresh 'heartbeat', 60 to 100 times per second is GONE. Only changes are sent in most of the time. The display must have an internal display buffer. Talk about framerate for DisplayPort has no meaning.
The signal levels are very low, but use differential driver (or push-pull) circuits to very good noise protection.
If you choose to convert to "legacy" display protocols, you can do it on a limited basis, with constraints. Long cables or more than TWO screens "legacy" will lose the signal strength and must be stimulated with ACTIVE DVI adapters, usually around US$ 40, who re-pilots to signal them upward.
Using DVI screens larger than worms 1920 wide requires a Dual-Link, much more complicated and expensive adapter.

Lenovo T420 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit - Windows Genuine validation failure
I have directly from Lenovo Lenovo T420 bought end of 2011 which began recently to show the message that its not running Genuine Windows. He fails to pass the validation test. He also stopped treatment of the Windows updates since December 15, 2014. All fail with the error 800706F7. I don't know if that is related to the failure of the validation. I would like to get the Windows validation problem all solved first guess that they may be related. Is attached a copy of the report full diag. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: called Microsoft validation and validation of phone attempt to id software. Has been informed by the agent that the product ID has been blocked by Lenovo. Suggested I upgrade Windows, purchase a new license or call Lenovo. Release with support from Lenovo and told me that they have no way to block a product code. Suggested I try an upgrade of BIOS or reload the operating system. Have you the BIOS upgrade result has not changed. Also updated the driver Intel Rapid Storage, but again no change on the system. Read messages where that fixed similar symptoms). Latest report of diag is the same as that posted here. Operation of the system with the exception of the issue with the message on non-genuine software and updates of Windows does not not error code 800706F7. Looking for more information.
Update: 2/29/2015 KB3004394 was not as installed on this system. I ran a system scan and it shows the following missing components. There are several entries in the CBS for the latter. I have included only the first two entries in the newspaper here.

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.
According to the description of the problem, you can not install Windows updates and get a non-genuine mistake. As you have mentioned that this whole issue started since 15 December, so there might be a chance that some updates to move that could cause the problem.
The KB 3004394 which was dated December 10, 2014 update can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer. Thus, there could be a chance that this update is installed on your computer that is causing the problem.
According to my research and findings that I got to know only after you have installed the Microsoft KB3004394 update that was released on December 10, 2014 and Microsoft has disabled since the relevant updates. Some systems also provided a Windows is "not authentic" error caused by the same update.
So try to remove this update of the updates installed, if it is installed and hide so that it can be installed in the future of its own. You can check the link below to complete the task.
You can see the below mentioned steps to hide an update.
Click on start.
Now click on all programs.
And then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
Now, click on custom.
Click to clear the check box next to the update KB3004394 .
Expand the KB3004394 update you want to hide, and then click the checkbox "don't show me this update again".
Click review and install updates.
For more information please refer to the suggestion of José Antonio answered the February 10, 2012.
Additional information:
You can see the thread mentioned below for details on the error message and the resolution.

Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

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 regardsLevente
