Laptop computer connection directly to a projector and cannot see the screen of my laptop

I'm trying to figure out how to display the screen of my laptop via a projector and also be able to see the screen of my laptop.  When I hit the function key for display on the big screen, my laptop darkens.  I found a post on this forum on the connection of additional views or projector (Set Up Multiple displays). When I go to Mobile PC and display to choose settings listed in the answer (mirrored, extended, etc.) aren't there.  My laptop is running Vista Business Service Pack 2 and two weeks.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello Shawn,

Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to turn on the visible screen (for example Fn + F5). Try these until you can see the image on the laptop monitor.

Also, follow the steps and try to set the screen parameter as follows:

(1) right click on the desktop, click Properties, and on the display settings, choose monitor as your main graphics card 1.

(2) setup that monitor the as a 2nd external display (projector).

(3) click on apply and Ok.

Restart the computer to see if you are able to see the screen on laptop and projector.

You can also check with the computer manufacturer to check if they have additional parameters to be changed.

It will be useful.

Thank you and best regards,

Srinivas

    Hello, I have a little problem...

    What happens is that, in my group, I can not share my screen or use my webcam because the video button is gray and "Screen sharing" is not there. He said I can't have more than 10 people in the call, but I have only about 5-7 at the time and they can share screens or turn on their webcam. I'm the only person who can not.

  • Reading full drive and cannot see the files! Mac OSX 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 - 32 GB Cruzer USB Glide

    I just bought the Sandisc Cruzer Glide 32 GB flash drive to move photos from one MAC to another.

    -J' have plugged my MAC running 10.4.11 and slipped the records on that I wanted to move. I have not install or use the software Sandisc because it was compatible with 10.5

    -J' I plgged the disc in my MAC running 10.6.8 and flies files

    -J' then slipped the files on the USB in my dustbin of Macs, it looked as if they were out of it

    -J' then plugged the USB in my old MAC and the player complete bed

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for answer. Most of the responsed that I found on the forum are related to Wndows machines

    On Mac if you do not empty the trash before the USB is disconnected, it will not actually free up space. can solve the problem 2 ways.

    1. If the files are still in the trash, connect the USB drive and empty the trash. This should free up space

    2. connect the USB drive and use disk utility to erase the drive. Make sure that you use the type of file MSDOS or exFAT for the filesystem for maximum compatibility.

  • How can I connect my Mac to a network server? As in windows yo go to my computer / connection to a network drive, and then you select a letter and write the name of the server that you want to be logged

    I'm trying to adapt Windows to my new MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan.

    I work remotely for a company and I want to connect my Mac to the server of the company.

    My question is how to connect a MAc to a network drive with the permanently available connection.  For example, in my old HP I went to my computer / connection to a network drive. I've selected a letter and note the name of the server that I wanted to be connected to. The connection was then shown with my other drive hard 'sections '; I want to say C:, D: (for recovery), e: (for tools) and then connecting to the external server has been shown with the selected letter.

    There is no "letter" under OS X. It's a hangover very old of BACK, devices of mapping and volumes labeled mailbox.

    If you are connected to your corporate network, you should see the available network volumes listed in the Finder, in ' my computer > network ", or with the command K to connect to a server.

    You can create an alias for the volume and put it in the Dock, or leave on the desktop or put it somewhere else, and the next time you want to connect to this subject, simply double-click on it. You can also add the server address to your "favourites" in the connect to Server dialog box.

  • Pavilion dv6: computer HP pavilion laptop does not start and I do not see the screen because it's broken

    I have the HP pavilion computer laptop windows 7 and I broke the screen about a year, I can't see the start menus. I have been using an external monitor and it has always worked well, but now I can't see how to fix my computer to boot.  I did a hard boot but nothing happened, and with a broken screen, I can't see any of my options on how to fix it.  It does not start.  Looks like it is, but because I don't see the menu F8 or Boot, I can't call themselves that the screen can be done.  Help, please.

    Hello @SPKaler,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to draw your attention to the HP Forums Guide first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I read your post on the issue with the laptop won't start does not and wanted to help you!  I understand that the screen is damaged and you are using the external monitor to view the screen.  However, now that the laptop does not start, you can see is more of the external screen to see what is happening.

    From my understanding, you should not be able to see an image on the external monitor, until you start the operating system.  You can try to perform a system restore by using this document:

    HP computers - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)

    You may be able to follow along, long enough until the image is displayed on the external monitor.  Otherwise, you can contact HP support by phone, for additional options.

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

    Salvation in Ottawa Canada.  I am using the above in my laptop.  I was given Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 running Micro cover and the disc that comes with it.  Disk would not properly charge during installation.  I went to the Microsoft website and tried to download this product, and I got the same results.  Sometimes I plug my head game, and it works for a long time.


    I am trying to set up my computer, so I can send emails, write letters nothing complicated.  I use speech RECOGNITION Microsoft,.

    Hi Bryan,.

     
    You can use your voice to control your computer. You can say commands that the computer responds to, and you can dictate text to your computer. Before you start using Windows speech recognition, you must have a microphone attached to your computer.
     
    I suggest you to see the links and check if it helps.

     
     
     
     
     
     
  • every time I erase content and settings on my iphone 6 after reset at the start of my phone and after crossing the screen as Hello > select language > Connect wifi > my iphone doesnot ask me activation lock even if my unit is also found on

    every time I erase content and settings on my iphone 6 after reset at the start of my phone and after crossing the screen as Hello > select language > wifi connection > my iphone doesnot ask me lock activation that says that your iphone is connected with the old apple ID, please enter the id and password

    I always reset on find my optional equipment please tell me how to activate locking activation so that whenever I have factory reset my phone with finding my camera so my phone always ask an old apple and password

    I do not understand your question, but let me go with what I believe. Looks like you entered in iCloud and erased all the content and settings on the iPhone, and once you go by assigning back up again, you do not see something that you expect to see, for example, a request for an Apple ID. When you go through the installation process to select the language, etc., it must, at some point, ask you to identify yourself with your Apple ID. are you not see this?

    It would be better if you try to describe exactly what you do again. Also, without the help of any sign of punctuation, it is difficult to track everything you ask. Try providing the steps of what you do, and then what you see when you get to the point that you believe that something is going wrong. You mention both an old and new Apple ID, which is rather confusing.

  • I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.

    I was running Mozilla firefox on my computer until two weeks ago. At that time, the screen went black and now I am not able to use it.  When I click on the icon and open to the top it says cannot load xp.com and a flag of resolution comes up saying it can't run a resolution less than 1930 x 2300. I have no idea what this means and how I can solve this problem.  I thought that maybe the application was bad, so I deleted and then added it back on and it does the same thing.  I even did a restore of the system to try hard but nothing I did the work.  So, how can I solve this problem.  I'm not a computer genius, so he must be explained in simple easy to understand instructions.

    Hello

    I suggest that you view in Mozilla Firefox community because there seems to be a Firefox problem.

    It is stated in "How to obtain the latest service pack XP" is.

    If you have problems obtaining the service pack from Windows Update, you can download the package of standalone update from the Download Center.

    This page will say that this installation package is intended for it professionals and developers. However, you can download this file safely.

    The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

    Download the Windows XP Service Pack 3 package now

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.
