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 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?

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.

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:

Note: This link is also applicable for Windows 7 .

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:

Two monitors with x 200 and docking station
Hello
Is it possible to use two monitors with my x 200? I use a docking station that has 1 VGA out. When I plug a second monitor into the VGA output on the laptop, the screen adjusts a car but remains empty.
Any help appreciated
Concerning
Andrew.
There is also a displayport on the ban, so you can use a dvi DisplayPort converter / for the second monitor.

My drive has been created using a windows xp windows live care and my new computer works with windows 7. How can I get information on the new computer. When I tried to download the software of microsoft it would allow me to do. Any ideas?
Hi Dorene33,
· What exactly happens when you try to download the software?
· You receive an error message?
· You are able to access drive from devices and printers?
· What happens exactly when you double click on the drive and try to open it?
I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.
Hope this information helps.

We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 with Sp1. There was the same exact problem in Windows Server 2008 (KB958596).
When you use RDP or ICA (Citrix XenApp 6), smart card login prompt at random does not appear. When we close the RDP or ICA and make a new session of the guest of the smart card is here.
Where can we get a fix, or a reg fix?

In this scenario, users are unable to connect with their card chip and instead, he is invited for their usernames and passwords. If users don't provide these details, the Terminal Services session times out and disconnects.
When this problem occurs, the option of smart card logon does not appear in the Terminal Services session. Users cannot connect by using their secret codes, and they must provide a user name and password.

Lexmark z605 printer does not work with the new computer that is running windows 7
I plugged my z605 printer (which I had already used quite happy with Windows XP) on my new PC (running Windows 7 64 bit) via a USB port but it failed to install properly, saying: he could not find the driver.
Action Center directed me to the Lexmark Web site, where he says to download the Vista driver, I did. CjrZ500 - Z600EN.exe downloaded according to the guidelines, but it still does not solve the problem.
I tried to manually point to C:\drivers\printers (which is where the Lexmark program appears to have put it), but received a message "Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered a problem trying to install it." Lexmark Z500 - Z600 Series, the system cannot find the specified file"
Problem solved. Although the site says that the driver Vista and 64-bit Vista driver were both called cjrZ500 - Z600EN.exe, in fact, select the 64-bit driver download cjsZ500 - Z600EN.exe, that worked!

I gave you the basic information. My screen is messed up since I installed version 4. The location of the lines changes while I'm typing, or I change pages. And also the areas get blackened, as I move the cursor.
Try turning off hardware acceleration. Click on the 'Tools' menu or the orange "Firefox" button, then select 'Options', go to 'Advanced' and uncheck the box next to "use hardware acceleration if available.
If that solves the problem, it means that there is probably a bug in the graphics driver. Make sure that your Windows system is updated and the updates of your computer manufacturer driver.

Two monitors with computer desktop Slimline?
Hello
I want to set up two monitors with my HP Slimline. Is this possible? I know I have to change the graphics card to accommodate two cords.

Hello
You have options:
1. install a video card that supports two monitors. -> the best performance option
2. use a video USB adapter/converter. -> What are your needs of video connection? VGA, DVI orHDMI
3. use a USB attachable monitor such as this AOC 16 "monitor.
Option #1.
Look here in HP Partsurfer for video cards that are used in the new Slimline models with a 220 Watt power supply. These cards have been made specifically for the HP Slimline PC with a 220 watt power supply.
