• Impossible to extend the desktop to a secondary monitor

  Hello

  So I recently bought a new monitor, I have already been operating my TV.
  But now I want to be able to extend the display on my desk while watching TV on the internet, I can just do drag to my TV and sit on the couch instead of having to sit in front of my screen.
  I go to the screen resolution, and it detects that the two monitor are connected. The monitor (1920 x 1080) is connected to the TV (1280 x 720) with HDMI DVI.
  The two are connected by the GPU.
  But when I click on extend the desktop and then try to save an error message appears telling me that it is impossible to save these changes.
  I don't know what the problem is, the two screens are connected, the two works but I can not extend the display.
  My GPU is a 6950 Gigabyte, and it is updated to the latest drivers.
  If anyone can help solve me this problem I would be very grateful.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Error message "Cannot save the display settings" shows essentially that you try to extend or duplicate the Office for external monitors.  I suspect that the problem occurs because the computer remembers the two configuration for your extended monitor and TV.  To extend your monitor, you must delete the multiple configurations for your computer, then extend your display by changing your display settings. To do this, proceed as follows:

• Impossible to customize the taskbar, grayed out notification options

  Hey,.

  I have a problem with my taskbar and I need help.  I feel really uncomfortable messing around with registry keys and others, but I think that's how this problem was posed on Vista.  Can someone help me?

  After one of the updated Windows Update, my volume icon disappeared from the task bar and I had to uninstall the drivers.  Windows reinstalled the drivers, and the icon was back.  During this operation, however, I noticed that I was not able to customize the taskbar, because all the options are greyed out and I couldn't change the settings.  In addition, the wireless icon passed useful for wireless connection to a useless fork/tv screen with an 'x' graphic below (although wireless remains the same).  If someone could guide me through this, I would be grateful.  I'm not much more with computers and that any Vista upgrade to Windows 7 has been boring.  My computer used to run fine, but now it is slower to start and to run programs.  If someone had additional help on this subject, it would be a much appreciated bonus.

  Thank you

  I've updated all my drivers, including the BIOS, I've tried almost all methods I found online to solve the problem, and I would really like to avoid to restore my system simply because this Dwm.exe decided to stop working... I did not install new programs recent, nor have, I changed the parameters significantly... advice?
  I'm running a 64-bit windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1,
  If you need more information on my system, I'll be happy to provide.

  The module failed (StackHash_1dc2) is not formally identified.

  You can check the event viewer for error and see if the module failed is identified:

  Start > type eventvwr in the box "search programs and files", then press 'Enter' > expand "Custom views" > "administrative events.

  Are looking through 'administrative events' Application errors involving Dwm.exe

  Double click on each event for more details.

  The symptoms you have described as the loss of Aero, I suspect a component connected to the graphics driver may be the issue.

  For example in this link , make back the graphic driver Intel seems to help.

• Remove the shaded blue icon on the desktop

  the icons on my desktop are dark blue. They seem very irritating. I tried to remove the blue (I need transparent) but no luck. I tried all the options mentioned on the internet (i.e. the performance tab, unlock web items and remove the shadow of the menu), but none of them work. can you please help?

  Check points: -.
  1. in the performance and Maintenance/adjust Visual effects or if you use the classic theme - settings/system/advanced/performance
  'Use the shadows of the desktop icon labels -' must be checked
  2. right click on the desktop, point to arrange icons by and ensure that items Web Lock on Desktop is unchecked;
  3. If you have content web on your desktop, transparency does not do a right click on the desktop. Select properties, then go to the Desktop tab.
  Click on the button customize the desktop, and then open the Web tab.
  Uncheck everything in the box of Web Pages
  Press OK, then apply and OK again.
  4. you can't have a file html as wallpaper, it must be an image file.

  It is sometimes necessary to restart to take effect, sign out and then sign back in.
  You also sometimes have to uncheck things if they are checked, apply, restart if necessary, and then back into the re - check the items.

• Customize the icons of folders on the desktop

  I'm trying to customize the folder on the desktop icons and I know well the steps. Until today, I was able to instantly change the after clicking 'apply '. Today, I noticed that the icon will not change unless I restart the pc. However, when I repeat the steps, the 'Customize' tab shows the image of the newly selected icon.  Is this something new? If this isn't the normal course, how can I solve have changed instantly icons?

  Thank you

  DS

  If you have tried to change the shortcut icon on the desktop, by parameters change icon, sometimes do it 2 - 3 times before that change selected icon.
  If this does not work, you can try changing the addition of your account under the tabs for security and parameters.
  If this is a common problem, you can change the security for the folder Desktop (C:\Users\Your account-utilisateur\Bureau), same procedure, parameters and security, add your account with full rights to the folder.
  If dinner you can use advanced security features, change of ownership, to your account and then add the account under approval. If possible change prior to the same owner or administrators.

  NB. Version not English this name for the tabs are perhaps not leave right.
  It worked in my case.
  Instead I lost my shortcuts, and remains mesh around in the corner, so I have to get through the annual versions and rearrange them. Quit often.
  He hopes usable & understandable, explanation, despite my bad English skills.

  You can directly download the CC applications and authenticate with my adobe cloud identification information without using the desktop application? whenever I have try with the desktop app it says impossible to arrive on the same adobe servers when I'm connected to the Internet and I don't have any active anti-virus software?

  Thank you

  No application of cc, no clouds. It's the simple truth here. Programs cannot operate without him, since he controls the installation and licensing. the rest, we do not know, since you have not provided any useful technical information. Start by reading this (yet?):
