Is it possible to use a second monitor with Windows 7 starter edition.

Original title: I want to thank my screen on a second monitor, but my pack to boot windows 7 does not give me this option. Should I upgrade to Windows 7 only for this, or are there free tools/downloads available?

It does not recognize the monitor, but it's simply not show the option "extend the screens/monitors" in the menu dropdown.

Hello

Unfortunately, you have not the possibility to extend your desktop to an external monitor or projector in Windows 7 Starter edition. It would be best to upgrade to Windows 7 family premium, professional, Ultimate or enterprise.

For more information, see the following links:

Upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 by using Windows Anytime Upgrade

Hope the information is useful.

  • PC HP 8560w: second monitor with Windows 10

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 and my second monitor will not work. On Windows 7, I was running my second monitor with a USB 3.0 port. Apparently, 10 Windows does not support this configuration. How can I feed my second monitor in Windows 10 using either a USB 3.0 or MIC port?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm running an additional monitor in Win10 to a USB connection, but it uses a USB adapter / VGA, and to make it work, I had to install the drivers that came with the card.  Before that I did, Win10 has not even seen the monitor.

    Good luck

  • Is possible to use the second HDD in PPM81E Portege M800-105

    Hello!

    Does anyone know, if it is possible to extend a Portege M800 - 105 model No. PPM81E with a second HDD?
    Is there a MediaBay for the DVD player to install a second hard drive?

    My goal is to use a Solid State Disk (64GByte) as the first disc (System only) and store all user data on the second drive.

    Best regards

    Hello

    To my knowledge it is not possible to use a second HDD Portege M800.

    The laptop supports eSATA connection so you can connect an external HARD drive.

  • Lightroom CC crashes when you use the second monitor

    I use Lightroom CC on a core 6 2010 Mac Pro with 24 GB of RAM and the application running on an SSD with OS10.9.5.

    Until the other day, I've been using Lightroom 5.7.

    I have two NEC 24 "monitors connected to my computer.

    I paid about $1,000 for each, and I was happy with their color rendering and performance.

    In the last two weeks, I had repeatedly when Lightroom stops working.

    Usually after using edit in Photoshop command, or creating a web gallery, once the order has been issued, LR will go to one screen and frozen at this time, most of the controls does not work. Then I have to select exit from the menu and reopen the application. Needless to say it's a lousy way to work.

    Tonight, I discovered that if I run Lightroom on a monitor, the gel that happens after having a web gallery, or help edit in Photoshop, does not happen. However, if I start with just one monitor, use edit in Photoshop, then click to use my second monitor, then frost.

    Having 2 monitors is very useful, so having to limit myself to 1 monitor is pretty disappointing, not to mention a waste of investment.

    I've been using Lightroom 5 long on this system without these problems.

    I installed Lightroom CC as a way to solve my problem.

    But there is the same problem with it.

    I thought about updating the operating system to 10.11, but I expect to do.

    I've read of people having problems with OS 10.11 (El Capitan), and I need to upgrade backup software, if I switch to 10.11.

    It seems to me that there may be some type of bug or problem with Lightroom and the Mac OS when it comes to use 2 monitors.

    Everyone knows this freeze or lock up Lightroom?

    Has anyone else had him freezes related to the use of two monitors?

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    A Mac savvy friend suggested that I create a new user account to see if the problem of gel with the second monitor would also with a new user account.

    I created a new user account, and Lightroom works fine.

    Then, I had to migrate all the settings for the various programs to the new user.

    I also decided to improve the operating system of 10.9 Mavericks at El Captian, 10.11.

    I also changed 5.7 Lightroom at Lightroom CC 2015.

    All these computing has taken a lot of time, but now everything works fine.

  • How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

    Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

  • How to set up a second monitor with a different view than the one on my laptop? [was: ron]

    I'm trying to set up a second monitor with a different view than the one on my laptop.  I have a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop and a secondary monitor View Sonic UP2365-LED.  They are connected with a cable 15 pin... my only choice on the laptop.  When I select the second monitor, it displays a box of a second on my laptop and the secondary monitor.  My pointer moves on both screens at the same time, no matter what display, I select the monitor 2.

    It depends on the whther the laptop can support both points of view.

    Somewhere with the right button on the desktop, choose "screen resolution" and that there should be only a drop down menu entitled "multiple displays".  Looks like you have "displays a duplicate" choose (if it will leave you) "to extend these screens.

  • I have a Dell computer that came with Windows XP Home edition. When I start my computer the monitoring of ERROR appears: RUNDLL error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll

    Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll

    I have a Dell computer that came with Windows XP Home edition.  When I start my computer the monitoring of ERROR appears: RUNDLL error loading specified not found \3\DLBUtime.dll module

    I just click 'ok' and he goes, but, as for what it stop popping up everytime I start my computer.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Aprilm,

    You are LuLu5119, who posted a question last August?

    If this isn't the case, you should have started your own thread.  If so (and even if not), you should have responded to questions about Dell printers.

    Assuming that you complain of a "Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll" message that appears when you start your computer, you should know that the DLBUtime.dll file probably has something to do with the software from Dell which has been partially deleted, but could also be indicative of malware as well as partially withdrawn.

    In both cases, the best way for start you to prevent the message at windows is to download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Install the Autoruns and let it complete the scan of your computer.  Then click on the "Connection" tab and uncheck the following entry:

    Look for an entry that has 'DLBUCATS' in the first column.  If you do not see that, look for "rundll32 \3\dlbutime.dll" in the last column ("path of the Image).

    Uncheck that entry, close Autoruns and restart your computer.  You should get is no longer the message.

    If for any reason, you find later that you need dlbutime.dll running, run Autoruns and check the box. If you decide that you need never again, run Autoruns, right-click on the entry and select Delete.

    As General precautionary measure, in case your entry dlbutime.dll was related to malicious software, rather than the Dell printing software, download the following free scanners:

    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware Portable: http://superantispyware.com/portablescanner.html

    For MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, download, install, update and run.
    For Portable SAS, follow the instructions on the Web page (note that the instructions assume that you use a different computer to download; if you're not, just make a note of the name of the file).

  • Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

    I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

    Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

    If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

    Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.
