  • Using an external display and the adapter on a laptop with Vista.

    I have a Dell Latitude D830 with Mobile Intel 965 video drivers. I also have a Dell D Dock with a Nvidia Geforce 6200 graphics card in the PCI slot.

    I understand why I can't use both of these cards together at the same time on a vista machine. I wish I could use only the adapter Nvidia docked and only the adapter PC mobile native while undocked, is it possible to do?

    I don't know if this can be done automatically, but I think it's possible with a minimum number of keystrokes (and properly configure the video settings for each monitor and video card).  Here's how:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Set-up-multiple-monitors.  Check out the other articles referenced in this one to lead you through a bunch of articles on the dual display and the configuration, installation, troubleshoot and work with them.  I don't understand all the other links here - just follow those of the first and they will lead you to all the others.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite L670 - looking on the screen BRIGHTNESS and volume display

    Hello. I have a Satellite L670 and I m looking for the on-screen display of the volume and BRIGHTNESS.

    It is the first of my laptop which seems to offer not to display these key elements and it is very sinuous to find the standard 3 + 4 for the volume keys and F6 + F7 for brightness, especially in an environment dark.

    Before this Toishiba had a few DELL Latitude and Inspiron Laptops and my wife uses a Samsung and had all this laptop-screen computers or the possibility of opening the display of the volume on fn + arrow keys.

    Please excuse my English. Maybe someone can understand my problem anyway ;-)

    CU, Sascha

    Hello

    What you want to say no to the display screen?

    Different laptops have different combination of FN keys. On Toshiba laptops, you can change the display by pressing FN + F6/F7 and on other laptops, you have other F - keys for this. There is no standard for these FN keys.

    Usually, if you press the FN key only you should see at the top of the screen flash cards. You see them?

  • Why don't my PrintOut look like the screen display?

    This happens everytime I use Firefox.

    Whenever I try to print a list of Ebay, the main image is omitted from the print. Here is an example. This first link is to a (Fn and PrtSc) screenshot of a typical list on Ebay:

    http://s1176.Photobucket.com/albums/x327/xvqgp/Firefox

    Search for image FirefoxScreen.jpg PhotoBucket page

    There is an overview of the issue at the left side of the page.

    Now take a look at what I get when I use the command 'Print' to Firefox (it is a scan of the printed page):

    On the same page look PhotoBucket for FirefoxPrint.jpg

    There is a big empty space where the main image should be!

    I have not been idle and checked a few things before I ask this question:

    (1) I went to print as settings the useful Firefox article on printer troubleshoting points out. It has not cured the problem.

    (2) of the same article, I have tried the function 'Print' on Internet Explorer. Although it pains me to say, I have the correct impression of Internet Explorer.

    (3) to use Firefox in "Safe Mode" has not removed the problem.

    (4) operating in 'Normal' mode but with disabled modules did not remove the problem.

    (5) when I move the mouse over the main image on the Ebay page I

    JavaScript:;

    in the lower left corner of the screen. It is perhaps a clue, or is it a herring-saur?

    I would be very grateful for the help.

    Have you tried to use the print at the bottom if this eBay page?

    Or is that what you use?

    All in all, it is not unusual for "print" be a little different from what shows on the screen ' ", this page can use @media to"screen"and"print ". The print on this page could be the difference, or the web browser may be after that code is that you used the print button or the menu item in Firefox.

    http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types

    As a general rule, the @print CSS is used to hide the menu navigation (can not 'navigate' to an another page on a sheet of paper) and maybe ads (can not 'click' on an advertisement which is made on paper) in being printed so that the article text is printed on paper.

    Basically, it is probably not a flaw with Firefox, but rather Firefox following the commands on the page placed there by the person who wrote this page, or a standard "CSS stylesheet" used by eBay.

  • Smartphones blackBerry BB Flip external display and automatic response

    Hello

    I've had this phone for 2 weeks and I'm already having a problem - for some reason any external screen will not show incoming calls and once I have it open it automatically answers. I couldn't find the option on the phone that would allow me at least turn off the automatic reply. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Press the green phone button. Press the menu key, and select Options. Then select General Options and finally change the mode of automatic response for the option you want.

  • Have Firefox V.31 and works very well. Control Panelshows V.29

    Using Firefox v.31 and no problem. Recently installed Bitdefender and it tells me to update to Firefox. Went to the control panel and found v.29 Mozilla Firefox and it is impossible to remove. No Firefox listed v.31. Thought v.29 uninstalling and reinstalling v.31 but cannot be deleted. What is my solution to this problem? Using XP SP3
    Thank you

    Sometimes the registry entry of Firefox which is read by the control panel to create the list in Add/Remove programs is not updated correctly. It could get resolved in the next update (Firefox 32) in a few weeks. I wouldn't worry about it right now too long only you see a single folder with "Mozilla Firefox" in the name here:

  • I use a Belkin USB wireless adapter. In Device Manager, I see this same adapter listed several times... with a yellow exclamation mark over it. However, an entry for this card will not have any problems indicated and work well.

    I think that whenever this USB adapter is removed and reinstalled, the system is seen as a new USB device.  However, if I try to uninstall the list in Device Manager showing a yellow exclamation point, the system will not... I get a message saying "Uninstall failed...". This device may be required for the system startup.
    Suggestion?

  • I have an emachine Tseries desktop computer. A main menu amachine continues to Flash on the screen.

    After starting, a main menu emachine guard burst up toward the bottom in the corner right.  It blinks faster and faster. You can not click on it. From time to time a message of thanks.  How can I get rid of him.  It doesn't matter what program you are in.

    Hello, I'm sorry you have problems with your computer... I wonder if your monitor is also an eMachine? Then wonder that if this is the case, could it be where you got the Pop Up light you said you can not click on it? Sometimes, it can get a sticky button and then you have the beautiful things start to happen. I would try a few air compressed and clean your buttons on your monitor. If this isn't the problem here if message something could be found.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 close and then open the lid of the screen to start to work

    Dear community,
    A few months ago my screen has stopped working. I took an external display and worked this way. (laptop screen did not work at all, even not toshiba logo)
    All until once, I turned on my laptop, closed the lid and then he fired after 5 seconds (when all lights on), the screen worked normally.
    Since then, I realized that I have to do this procedure every time I am switch on, or way the screen does not work.

    So I have to close the lid and reopen it after 5 seconds (not less), whenever I turn on my laptop. It works like this for months already.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Hello

    The FN + F5 key combination switches between monitors.

    Have you used this combination to test the display button?
    To be honest I m not very well if this key combination would be useful because it sounds like a problem with a display ON / Off switch (sensor).

    Usually such switch turns on and off the backlight of the screen if you close the lid

    This is why I would recommend this audit, but of course it's work is a technician for laptop
