• questions of two monitors

  Hello

  I have a hp pavilion model s5310f with windows 7.

  I am trying to connect two monitors to my system using a powered by usb 2 port VGA splitter.

  the problem I encounter is that the computer is not picking up on the fact that I have to the monitors hooked up.  When I go to appearance and personalization - poster - resloution that's not recongize there are two monitors attached to the top of the screen. Assumed to be an element of the line indicating 'several screens' and it isn't here. However, two of them work they reflect just between them. Could you please help me with this diagnosis? I monitors, separator or a problem of outdated system?

  Any help would be wonderful, because I am at a loss.

  Thank you

  Cory

  Both of the above positions are correct. Your form (here) show that you have only one video output.  In order to have two screens you want (extended mode), you will need to do this: adding a monitor using a HP USB graphics card.

  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.

• Two monitors does not

  I've set up two monitors on my laptop.  I went to the settings and changed its expansion just as they said in the help section.  It is said that I should now be able to drag a window to the other monitor.  BUT, everytime I try, it puts just this window on that side of my screen.  It goes to the other monitor.  My other monitor is just my wallpaper showing and nothing else.  How can I change this?

  Hello

  These should contribute. You can set the monitors to work as a single office (can drag and drop across
  also the programs cannot be fullscreen - reduce the size) or they can be set to work as
  two separate monitors where you open the programs you want on each.

  You may need to update your display and video driver

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• Cannot connect two monitors

  For three years, I was able to have two monitors connected using Windows 7. Recently, I tried the upgrade to Windows 8 without success and returned to Windows 7. Now I am unable to get my monitors to work together. I watched the videos here to help me, but I'm unable to drag the pages or even my cursor

  for the second monitor. The connections at the back of the computer appear to be correct. The second monitor is suited with a VGA cable for the connection.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello Joseph,.

  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.

  1. What is the number and model of your computer and the graphics card?

  2. Have you tried to monitor primary as secondary and vice versa?

  3. All device drivers are updated?

  Windows can detect automatically that an additional screen. If you connect two or more monitors, you must manually designate the primary display, arrange your desktop, and apply display settings, such as color depth and screen resolution. So, the next time that you connect these monitors, Windows automatically identifies the primary display and applies the settings that you previously specified for each additional display.

  Try the methods mentioned below and see if it helps.

• Dell Precision M6600 - two monitors

  I have a laptop Dell Precision M6600.  I would like to connect up to two external monitors and do not use the laptop monitor (so the lid will be closed).  There is only a single VBA port at the back, so I can't connect two monitors to it directly.

  I did research on the internet and find that it looks like this can be done by using a Port Replicator, but it seems that those who run more than $200, and I think I would have a hard time getting my company to approve that.  Is it possible that this can be done using a kind of dispatcher (VBA-> 2 x VGA Splitter, or using the HDMI port)?

  I found some discussions about it on the internet, but some speak only to duplicate the single to multiple monitors output, which is not what I want.  Many of these items were laptop specific, so I don't know how that would apply to my specific model.  So I thought that the best place to ask would be the Dell support site.

  Thank you

  Hi JoeLBS,

  Thanks for your question. DisplayPort is another standard to connect screens. Here's more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort

  A DisplayPort to VGA adapter will work for you that should a HDMI to VGA. Here is an example:

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You can connect just as an external monitor to the computer without any additional device.
  I connected my external monitor to the laptop and activated the option called: extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.

  This allows to use the external monitor as extended desktop and I can still move my documents or windows browser to the external monitor.

  If you want to use two external monitors then I advise to use a device such as Toshiba Dynadock.

• two monitors for HP Pavilion 500-007 a

  I am considering buying desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a little time. I already have two monitors TeamViewer, two support DVI - I and VGA I'm running just one of the monitors on a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop (laptop current ongoing died after 3 years continuous use).  The current system gives me two monitors to view, computer laptop 17 '' monitor and the Samsung 24 "monitor. I have also a 19 '' Samsung monitor with the same characteristics as the 24 "monitor.

  I want to know if I can use both monitors Samsung on the new office at the same time with good results.

  Both monitors have no HDMI, only DVI - I and VGA connections.

  The new system, I would like to start the monitor 24 "using the DVI - I format and the same thing with a 19" monitor, but the specs of the 500-007 a give only 1 DVI-I have the graphics card or via a connection through HDMI, and then on the motherboard, it shows a VGA port.

  What is the best: run 24 '' via DVI - I and the 19 "via VGA or execution 24" via DVI - I and get a DVI - I to HDMI converstion and run two monitors to the graphics card, or alternatively the 24 "on DVI - I and 19" on VGA.

  I use photoshop for photo editing, as I do a lot of photography work. Videos etc are not a primary, or games, but as also older in order to use the 24 "to better on Visual acuity.

  Thanks Ailsa

  This is the original factory specifications for the desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a. According to the specification, this model has an AMD Radeon HD 8570 discrete graphics card that supports the use of two simultaneous displays. That this computer is equipped with a discreet graphics card, the video ports on-board integrated are disabled. The AMD Radeon HD 8570 graphics card has a HDMI and DVI - I output and can take care of two digital monitors or a digital and an analog monitor. The supported formats are HDMI, DVI - D and VGA (via a dongle, DVI / VGA).

  Please provide the model number of monitors you want to use with this computer. Two additional DVI - D and VGA monitors as you have indicated, here are some of the possible combinations of connection supported;

  BEST

  Computer > DVI - D cable > monitor

  Technology > cable HDMI-DVI or adapter > monitor

  or

  GOOD

  Technology > cable HDMI-DVI or adapter > monitor

  Computer > adapter DVI / VGA > VGA cable > monitor

• Use two monitors on Mac Mini end of 2012

  Hello

  I am currently using only a single monitor (A Dell S2340M 23 "") with my Mac Mini end of 2012 (with these ports: Mac mini (end of 2012): external ports and connectors - Apple Support), and I am interested in adding a second monitor, something around the same size as my current. How to connect two monitors on my Mac? Thanks in advance.

  The support for the Mac Mini shows article (end of 2012) and details which ports can do.

  So you would probably need to get an adapter Thunderbolt using a second screen, seems.

  See the items listed to connect to the Thunderbolt port in the link you posted. I have the same

  link to my favorites for more than a year...

  I have an i7 Mac Mini end of 2012, using only a screen Apple Cinema (aluminium).

  Another option would also buy a bolt of lightning multiple port dock. Some allow others

  products and ports in double. (Upward to 12 points, USB3.0, Thundebolt, etc) not cheap. A

  A few screens can allow a Garland; Note looks like a bolt of lightning MiniDisplay port but can

  not act like one. Adapters can allow minidisplay run Thunderbolt. See supported

  Article and then see the page of the Apple store in graphics cards.

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/Thunderbolt/

  OWC has also an external optical drive with several ports integrated (with additional HARD disk).

  Good luck!
