Keyboard freaks out when connected to a projector

When I connect my Lenovo T400 with Windows 7 to a projector, I am able to easily share my screen.  But my keyboard does not work.  When I press the keys on my keyboard behaves as shortcut keys.  Screens to start popping up, the menu start appearing... each key triggers the other thing that type.  Help!

Hello

I'm assuming that you press the Fn key and the shortcut keys are get activated when you press other keys on the keyboard.

You can try disabing shortcut keys and check if that helps. You can consult the manual that came with your laptop or get in touch with the laptop
Reference of the manufacturer for assistance.

Kind regards

  • Laptop screen disabled when connecting to a projector

    Original title:

    Hello, I am trying to connect to a projector Acer H5360 to my computer dv9750 Pavilion laptop under Vista Home Premium using an HDMI cable.

    Whenever I connect the projector, or noting happens and typing FN + F4 I can have my proposed office or automatically after a certain time, my office is planned (without typing anything). In both cases, the office disappears from the screen of my laptop (!)
    The only way to have my laptop active screen is again by disconnecting the HDMI cable AND it's not completely deterministic: it happens that the laptop screen remains inactive after extraction of the HDMI connector and until the power is cycled
    My question is how can I configure the system to always reflect the tower to the projector screen, whenever the projector is attached, while leaving the tower still active screen? before, during and after the setting of the projector.
    I would add only that I did not imagine it's be so complicated to just fix a projector. For example, when I move the same projector with the same cable to my xoom Tablet I just see projected! without doing anything more than the * physical connection *.

    How many times do you have to press the key combination?

    FN + F4 key combination is to switch between monitors. Try pressing the fn + f4 several times until you get show both monitors ON.

    When the monitor of the laptop is turned OFF and the projector is on, press the key combination, the projector must be OFF and the monitor of the laptop must be turned on. By pressing the key combination twice turns the laptop screen and the projector. There should be no instance that both will turn OFF.

    If it does not try to activate your dual display:
    Right click on the desktop-> Output To-> Intel Dual Display Clone-> notebook + monitor. It can vary in defense on your installation, I use a laptop HP and Acer LCD as a second monitor.

  • Problem with the resolution when you connect to a projector

    I regularly used my laptop connected to a projector via a cable VGA for PowerPoint and video clips view in Windows Media Player.   It is automatically detected and adjusted for different sizes of screen of the laptop screen (1366 x 768) and projector (1024 x 768) and projected with success.   Recently I connected the laptop to a second monitor - also 1024 x 768 - instead, and even once, it fits perfectly.

    It suddenly stopped setting for the resolution of the projector; When I go to the resolution of the screen, the option to set the resolution of the second screen is grayed out.   No matter if I use extend or duplicate, he insists that the two screens are 1366 x 768.   This has happened with two projectors, all two used to work properly.   I also tried different VGA cables.  The end result is that the image of the projector is hurry to tray.

    I can connect fine to the second monitor via the VGA port and sometimes with different resolutions for both screens.   I can also connect to a TV via an HDMI cable.   I can't try a HDMI cable for the spotlight as it is ceiling mounted, and the other is old and is not an HDMI connection.

    I checked the drivers and they seem to be up to date.

    My laptop is a Dell Latitude running Windows 7.   The graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 3000.   I tried many suggestions already given on these forums without success.   The real puzzle is that it was working fine and nothing I can draw has changed except that I connected on the other monitor.

    Hope this information helps, just reply to the State of the question to get help.

    Hi Rizwan

    Unfortunately, I do not have a restore point old enough until the problem occurred.   I have not found any that was relevant in hidden devices, but in normal Device Manager mode when I clicked on "monitor" it opened a "Generic PnP" entry even when there was no extra monitor or projector fixed.   When an additional monitor has been attached, there were two of these entries.   I disabled them both, and I found that I can now adjust the resolution of a second monitor to a different setting of the laptop screen.

    Thanks for your help.

  • The Apple Magic Keyboard can operate without bluetooth when connected to an iPad with the lightning to the USB camera adapter?

    The Apple Magic Keyboard can operate without bluetooth when connected to an iPad with the lightning to the USB camera adapter?

    I love the Apple Magic Keyboard to be very light (I want it with me everywhere). I also like that I can choose the layout of the keyboard I want (Canadian multilingual), which is not available on any keyboard for any brand, with the exception of Apple iPad (and I did a ton of research). I have problems with the old model of keyboard Apple Wireless because of the Bluetooth connection: I often have trouble connecting. I want a reliable keyboard. I don't like having to plug the keyboard on the iPad, and I think that a wired keyboard can more reliable and safer than a wireless keyboard. And a wired keyboard never had battery problems.

    I read that the Apple Magic Keyboard can work wired with a Mac without bluetooth. And I read that some USB keyboards work with lightning to the USB camera adapter. There are several keyboards with a cable (Belkin or Logitech) lightning, but none with the available Canadian multilingual.

    So, if I buy a magical keyboard Apple and a Flash to the USB adapter of the camera, according to my needs, I'll be satisfied or I'm going to be disappointed?

    A better solution would be to have a male-male cable lightning between the keyboard and the iPad, but I don't find any of these products anywhere.

    Thank you.

    It will not work. And where did you read that the keyboard works wired with a Mac?

  • Connect to a projector option does not.

    Dear concerned,

    I work for an NGO, and we purchased licenses for Windows 7. Now, one day I'm in transition all computers from Windows XP to Windows 7.

    The problem I have is that on most of the PC like my computer laptop (Dell Latitude D610), Dell Optiplex GX 520, Compaq Evo D510 Small Form Factor option to connect to a project does not work. Earlier, these systems to connect with the projector when it had XP on them but since after Win 7 its does not work. Even in the resolution of the screen I can't connect to a projector or Windows + P option to connect to the external display.

    I have no idea how to solve this problem. Kindly guide me to get out of this problem.

    Kind regards

    Fahad.

    Your systems are quite old. There may be no Windows 7 graphics drivers for them.

    If you do not have Windows 7 installed for the graphics hardware that they will not work with a resolution VGA Standard and the conduct of the second monitors or projectors graphics drivers will not be possible.

  • 4th generation Apple TV connected to the projector

    I have an Apple TV 4th generation connected to a projector with a Kenex of HDMI to VGA with Audio for the 4th generation.  Whenever I want to play Netflix or HBO NOW I get a black screen. I can only here the sound and I get a black screen.  It works fine when I use other applications.

    What can I do to fix this?

    I would really enjoy HBO NOW and Netflix with this number.

    I think that your card does not support HDCP on the HDMI connection, which is required by these suppliers copy protection. Because you want to convert it to VGA, this isn't surprising, because an enterprising hacker could extract the digital video stream. Most of these adapters are sold "educational purposes", not the home entertainment, and that's why. That said, if you look diligently, you can find a suitable adapter. The educational goal of the KENIMBENI is actually mentioned on the Apple store page http://www.apple.com/shop/product/H9139VC/B/kanex-atv-pro-x-hdmi-to-vga-adapter-avec-audio-prise supported, as well as a comment by the user that it cannot handle the HDCP.

  • Tecra 8000 TV out when it is docked

    The docking station for the doen't Tecra8000 replicate the TVout connector, but I have a cable to right angle that matches the TV normal port when connected and allows the cable out the host unit. TV connector normally output is disabled when it is docked and is there a setting in the registry or something in 98SE to re - activate?

    I connect my Tecra to a TV to watch DivX movies on the big screen, with the audio goes to my stereo, but I need to use the device with the Replicator, because the server containing my video files on a network, so I need the capacity of the network. I COULD use a network adapter, but then that beats the purpose of a docking station with the LAN!

    Retro Hi

    I'm a bit confused. As much as I know some Tecra 8000 have no LAN card. If your camera has card LAN and LAN port why you n t plug it directly into the TV and LAN without Port Replicator?

    I'm not sure if the port is disabled, but you can test if you can 100%. If there is no success, you must use the PCMCIA network adapter.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A500 - battery light flashes when connected to the power supply

    Win 7 Satellite A500 PSAM3A-03P00E.

    Battery light flashes when connected to the power supply (intermittent fault), when I disconnect the sector and reconnect the flashing stops and battery (high capacity) continues to receive.

    Also, when battery light blinks the keyboard backlight stays on when it should white and if the backlight is turned off and the battery light starts to blink the keyboard backlight turns on, all other functions seem to work well.

    Charges of battery and the wedges load properly (when the battery flashes).

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem since the first day of purchase?
    Theoretically, it could be possible that your battery begins to malfunction
    On the other hand, an electrical problem could also be possible

    However, try this:
    Remove the battery and the AC adapter. Then press and hold button power 30 sec long.
    Then insert the battery and plug AC adapter still does that help?

    By the way: this is the BIOS updated? If this isn't the case, perform an update.

  • When connecting on MacMini, password is auto-complete with a myriad of points and is not the right password

    When connecting on MacMini after I click on the user, the password field is auto-complete with a myriad of points and is not the right password.

    There suddenly / maybe after the most recent update 2015-008, which I installed it on 8 January 2016.

    I need to delete points, usually I can remove them by double clicking on it and pressing the delete key, but they will not simply remove by clicking in the field and using the delete key, as would be normal. Sometimes it takes a few tries to remove the points, and then I can connect.

    Does my keyboard or a virus, my usb port, the update of security or something else...?

    I use this computer without problem for a few years.
