Mirror of my office on my TV screen.
My roommate tinkered with some of my settings when I first connected my computer to my TV and now it acts only as an extended desktop. However, I want to my office in mirror and, despite what any forum help tell me, there is absolutely NO option in the customization only to display the settings to do this. All I can do is select my main monitor and choose to extend the desktop on a monitor. If I don't, then the second screen is disabled. How can I solve this problem and my mirrored desktop?
Hi reddragon162.
In this case, try to decrease the size of the screen by changing the display settings.
The following procedure works only for laptops. If you are using a desktop computer, you can change a view extended to a mirrored display by using the software provided with your video card or display driver.
1. open Windows Mobility Center by clicking the Start button, click on the Panel, clicking Mobile PC, and then click Mobility Center Windows.
2. on the external display tile, click Connect display.
3. in the dialog box new display detected, click on mirror, and then click OK.
More laptops use FN + F5, FN + F7 or FN + F8 to cycle through the display modes. To determine what function keyboard shortcut, you will need to use, see the documentation that came with your laptop or go to the manufacturer's Web site.
By default, when you connect an external monitor to a laptop, the same image (mirror image) of your desktop appears on the external monitor. You can try to unplug and plug the second monitor cable and see if the problem is resolved.
For more information, please see the links below.

Office and loading photo-screen saver
Recently, Mac Book Pro, my wife (2009) started acting incorrectly when we go to active corners or the timer expires and should load the photos.
If I look at the screen saver preferences, we have a relatively small designated images folder. Photos of maybe 20. In preferences, we can see many lines of small images and it may be that the number of lines continues to rise. If we use Active corners or the timer expires, the screen goes black and after a minute or two, the message loading Photos appears.
I looked at all the pictures in the folder and none are corrupt. They all will normally open in preview or Graphic Converter. I tried to change to another photo folder and get the same problem.
I think rather than Office preferences and screen saver is damaged or it is maybe something stored in a library that is corrupted.
I tried to restart the laptop with the SHIFT key is pressed twice and that did not help.
This who should I try next.
Its operating system is 10.11.4 and the Mac laptop is mid-2009.
Suggestions on what do I do then?
Howdy Gil Woolley,
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.
I understand that you run into problems when you try to use your photos as screensaver on Mac. your wife you mentioned that you have been able to open these photos on their own with no problem, so you have tried other photos also? If this isn't the case, I suggest that you try and make the desktop folder photos after your screen saver to see if the problem persists:
/ Library/screen saver by default/Collections
If Yes, then the next step that I suggest is to test this behavior in a new user account:
How to test with another user account
You can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.
Create a test user account
- In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- Click the users and groups in the System Preferences window.
- Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
- Click on the button Add (+) below the list of users.
- Choose a type of user in the new pop-up menu.
- Give the user a name and first name, account name, and password.
- Click OK.
- Close the System Preferences window.
If there are documents from your user account that you want to test with original, place a copy of these items in the shared folder in the users folder. Press the Option key while dragging a file in this folder to create a copy.
Connect to the test user account
Log out of your current user account by choosing logout in the Apple menu, and then open a session the new account that you created. If you are prompted to login with your iCloud or Apple ID account when you log in, skip this step.
Try to reproduce the problem
Try the same steps that caused the unexpected behavior to appear. For example, if you are unable to print, try printing from this user account. If you were unable to connect to the Internet, try to navigate on a website of this user account.

Please report back with your results so that we can further this issue.
Take care.

He continues to put me to upgrade to 8.1 Windows ask, but when I did the check of the system, he said that I shouldn't try to install Windows 8.1; but now it won't let me click on anything in the office. It keeps flipping back between
the desktop and screen startup and continues to do over and over again! Is this a virus?
I have turned off, then signed in and stop sign in the screen, but when I start again, it keeps flipping back. Help!

P2V Office gives a black screen in full screen
So I have a new desktop computer and I've done a P2V on my old desk. Set up on our servers from view with a trust dedicated to me.
I can sign in, however, if I put it in mode full-screen, the screen remains black.
In fact, it displays black screen if I resize the window beyond size approximately 1290 x 790. (take a guess, I'm on a monitor 22 '')
The pool is set up to allow 2 monitors and set to max resolution.
My question is, has anyone encounter this problem before and how solve you this problem? I don't mind running in a window, but it would be nice to use the full screen. I won't have this forever desktop computer, it's mostly just to ease the transition between offices.
Thanks in advance.
If you use Windows 7, set the pool field (number of screens, mem) display to the maximum options.
So that change memory to take effect, you will have to completely turn off your VM (reboot won't be enough).

How can I mirror my laptop on a second monitor screen?
I use a HP laptop, Windows XP computer and attempt to connect to a LG TV.
He let me just to extend my desktop on the TV and will not mirror, which is what I want. I've been in display - settings - advanced and fingered with all parameters, but without success. I think there must be a simple "duplicate Desktop" or "Desktop mirror", but if he doesn't want to be found!
Any help much appreciated. :)
PS, I must add that I tried to hold the Windows logo and by pressing P and using Fn + F4 too, none worked.

Microsoft Office Word 2007 (vista) screen appears black and white
I'm not really a computer person and I don't have any real problems with my laptop lately, up to what has happened. I have a Dell 1525 Insiprion, if this is useful, and I've owned it for 6-8 months now. The document appears white, but the rest is messed up. I can still type and everything it's just incredibly boring. I have installed the latest updates colors appear the same as they always have, and makes me worried to update one of my documents. Do you know what could be wrong with it? If so, how can I solve this problem? Thank you!

This just happened to new start-up of three days. Prior to this time everything worked very well. Also it some dialog boxes asking to click to launch an application platform that we know nothing about. We have looked for answers and went to the Control Panel, easy access and off Magnifier. But it is magnified. All icons and applications and the magnified programs.are. No new programs have been installed, no fonts won't changed, none of the DPI changed by us. . Some have suggested to go into the registry, but I'm not here. There are available restore points to restore. I don't know why there are no restore points. Even went in safe mode and couldn't find the restore point. Our solutions may be next = copy data, use the restore disk, and all reinstall. GOSH, there must be an easier than treatment... Or go to the computer repair shop. Suggestions? Please, I beg you!

Hi Chi,
I'll be happy to help you with the problem you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things do not work as it should.
I suggest you to connect thecable VGA/SVGA PC to TV
1. Select the PC on the TV input.
2. turn the external on the computer screen. It would be a good to consult your manual file or instructions using computers because this procedure varies from a model. On most computers, there is a F key that allows the external monitor. Generally, you will see an icon on one of the F keys that look like a monitor. Don't forget that you will also need to press the function (FN) key at the same time.
