• Deletion of a dual monitor desktop in Windows 7

  I am only using one monitor, but for some reason, my computer has now two screens and I cannot delete the other.  It is visible to the right of the main screen when I use screenshot. Sometimes the second screen resumes and all the hidden icons.  I first had to reboot with the power button, but then realized that I could see the icons and normal screen remotely from my phone.  I then close all programs and restart the phone, and my normal home and icons display back for a week or two, before that happens again.

  I right click on the desktop, then left click on the resolution of the screen to access the 'Change the appearance of your screens' page, but I see no way to get rid of the second display.  How should I solve this problem?  Thank you.

  Right click on the desktop

  Choose the screen resolution

  In the multiple monitors box, drop-down and choose Show Desktop 1 only

  Click OK

  ----

  Or shortcut: hold down the windows and press P until the computer 'only' is highlighted.

• Satellite Pro S300 - cannot extend the desktop to an external monitor

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro S300 and it won't extend the desktop to an external monitor / projector, but it will clone the desktop?

  so far I have tried:
  2 instructors and 1 projector all do the same thing, will clone but not extend.
  Reinstall the latest drivers to display on the Toshiba site.
  Reinstall the latest drivers of change on the Toshiba site.

  But nothing worked, I even checked my S300 colleagues to make sure that I use the same parameters and their (of 2 other s300) extend and clone office.

  Has anyone seen this before and how solve you the problem?

  Paul

  Did you first remove the old driver before you install the new driver? If this is not the case, try to reinstall the driver again. Therefore, to remove the old driver, restart the computer, use CCleaner to clean the registry and install the new version you can find on the Toshiba site.

  More I would try updating the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

  I hope it works for you.

  not a driver problem

  found the solution, I used both the computer laptop lcd and the external monitor

  This is because the graphics card offers support for playback of the video when you play the video on the internal monitor

• Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

  Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

  Yesterday I did face the following problem:

  I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

  I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

  And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

  Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

  --
  Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

  I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

  This sentence is very interesting.
  Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

  It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
  Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

  If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
  Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

• Problem with external monitor when used with the Satellite P100-434

  I'm trying to use a Vizitron L - 151 monitor flat screen connected to the VGA port on the back of my Satellite P100 - 434 (PSPADE)

  I find that the screens seem to periodically - feeding cycle windows resize themselves and then the screens settle down again. This happens with the laptop and the external monitor.

  I've updated the latest available BIOS V4.20 (November 2, 2007) I use 7.15.11.6369 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 driver version. I'm under the edition of Vista Home Premium to standard build.

  I even resorted to the use of the dvd system recovery to rebuild completely the laptop and the problem persists. In Device Manager I have generic Non - PnP monitor and below that I have a generic PnP monitor I tried and it is not possible to get specific drivers for the monitor Vizitron L-151. * NOTE * I saw dxdiag that the external display is identified the Non - PnP device

  The display configuration that I'm trying to use is to have my laptop as the main screen with the external display on my left as an extension to the desktop. In display config my computer screen appears as number 2 with the additional display in the poster as a device 1

  While typing this my screens have made this three times and the last time, this IE7 window installs itself to the external display in restored down to size.

  If anyone has a glimpse of it, I would be very grateful. There are no problems when the external display is deleted.

  _I can reproduce this problem on demand_ by uninstalling the monitor Non - PnP Device Manager.

  Sorry, mate, but you ad confuses me a little and be hones I m not 100% sure what you take on
  You have some problems with the resolution of the external display or what?

  I've found another thread on the setting of the external screen as main screen:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=96263#96263

  According to this statement:
  > In display config my computer screen appears as number 2 with the additional display in the poster as a device 1
  It seems that the external monitor has been on the main screen and display books internal as external.

  I recommend you change this settings and to use books appear as 1 and the external display form 2.

• 10.11.6 beat external monitor

  I have a MBP of 2015 the retina with a Benq 27 '' LCD monitor connected via HDMI. Everything was working just dandy and candy, until what I've updated OSX this morning and after restart - no monitor can be found. I tried SMC and NVRAM reset without success. Obviously fed the Mac and the monitor down and up several times too. Tried to "Detect displays" - nothing. Any ideas?

  Hello cameronreilly,.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. Use an external monitor everyday with my MacBook Pro, so I know how useful it can be, and I will do everything I can to help. You were on your way to a very good start with resetting the SMC and the NVRAM. Here what I would recommend is starting up from your Mac in a test user to see if the problem is specific to your user account or if it is systemic.

  To do this, you can open your system preferences and select «Users & groups» Then, click the icon of a padlock at the bottom and enter your password to unlock the options. Click the plus sign (+) to add a new user. Don't forget to make the administrator user. Once the account is set up, log on your current account and in the new test user. If the monitor is not detected in the test user, I recommend reinstall the update by using the recovery mode. This will not delete the files from your mac. This article will guide you in this process: How to reinstall OS X

• 17 3200 envy: Envy 17 3200 screen flickers and dies. External monitor works. (Video included)

  Hi, I bought my laptop about two years ago. A few days ago the screen suddenly dies, and at startup, it flashes several times with the correct display, but then turns off. The backlight seems to stay on. When I use an external monitor with HDMI port, the external monitor works fine, however, the laptop screen remains empty. Here's a video of what it looks like when I first boot the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmro4P1NmyY & feature = youtu.be , how can I do to fix this problem? Thanks, Wes

  @Saichotic ,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  It is somewhat a problem when it comes to laptops that comes up from time to time.

  The reason is there is a cable connected to the motherboard that goes back through the hinge area and connects to an inverter that powers the monitor.

  Once the cable wears out, but more often just to move General around get you a loos to the inverter or the motherboard connection.

  Here is a link to your Maintenance and service guide. You can use this to help pull the cable and inspect the connections.

  Here is a video that will show you how essentially happen to things as well to test and check the cable.

  Hi mate

  I recommend using the FN + F5 key combination
  You can use it to switch to output the external monitor or TV.
  This key combination supports several options:
  -screen internal + external display
  -external display only
  -TV out
  -etc...

  You have to press FN + F5 several times in order to get the right output.

• Satellite U300 - 13 M - port external monitor (VGA port) does not work

  Dear users of Forums from Toshiba,

  I have a problem with the VGA port. I use the Windows XP operating system. Laptop, do not display on an external monitor, I tried all monitors to connect to my office, but does not solve this problem. I also tried to reinstall Windows XP, once again, and nothing has changed.

  Please help me.

  Best regards, Elbrus

  Hello

  I guess that by Satellite U300 came preinstalled with Vista. Am I right about that?
  Anyway, if you want to use external monitor and switch successfully to him you must install the utilities and tools of Toshiba. There are several of them and allows you to use the FN + F5 key combination and move your desktop to laptop LCD display to the external monitor.

  Can you please tell me one thing: have you installed all the stuff of the Toshiba download page according to document Instructions of facilities?
  The configuration of the laptop is not known to me, but try please check the Intel properties and let me know if the external monitor is recognized in properties. Usually, you can choose to use the external monitor there.

  You can also start Toshiba HWsetup utility. There must be tab display. There you can also find an option to use the LCD screen + monitor at startup.

  Check it out please and post the results.

• Tecra A9 - external monitor black after closing lid

  Greetings, I looked for answers to this but can't find so far.

  I have a Tecra A9.

  My problem: I have an external display connected. Sometimes, when I get to work in the morning and open the lid of my laptop the monitor to the laptop and external monitor are black. I can restore the laptop using the shortcut key screen, but no matter what I can not do the external monitor to view anything until I restart. I tried turning power off and then on, by disconnecting and then reconnecting the data cable.

  I leave my machine all the time, do not turn off during the night. I have the ability to shut down/hibernate/suspend on closing the lid off.
  I have disabled all the management of the power supply for the monitor so that it turns off by windows.

  I am running Vista 32 bit Ultimate Business and have a Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family. I checked Toshiba site for the latest version of the video driver Vista and have the latest installed. By checking on the Intel site, I learned that I have a custom Setup and you me advised to go to the provider's site for the latest version of the driver.

  This problem occurs only occasionally and I failed to pin what make it even except what happens sometimes all night, maybe after I have use connection remote desktop to access the remote machine.

  I think I might have a problem with the video card hardware, but of course I can't prove anything.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to how I test more?
  Thank you.

  Try to update to other drivers, such as the package added Toshiba.

  Updated the BIOS and try a new installation of Windows (run recovery) if possible.
