Monitor does NOT display the icons on Start Up, after the fashion 'sleep', etc.

I recently bought my computer (last Monday) and the monitor turns on so I can see the wallpaper. However, no icons appear! If I unplug the monitor from the power supply and then plug it back it, is! the icons!

I wanted to post here before contacting HP, because it can be a quick fix and I can't sit on the phone for who-knows-how-long.

I have the HP p7-1234 and the monitor model number is HP2011-xi. I have Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

So... Guess what I learned?

How many cables you have plugged into your monitor?  All came with a white and blue, and I connected the two.  Apparently, this causes the problem, as the two cables are designed to provide both screens.

Disconnect the blue wire from the computer and the monitor, and then press the "Windows" key with the letter p at the same time.  Make sure 'computer only' is selected in the pop-up window, and then press ENTER.  This, according to an HP support technician, should fix the problem.

The instructions should make that more clear that the two cables must not be connected on a single monitor, but it can also be common sense for those who have experience with two monitors.

I've yet to leave my computer unattended to see if that solves the problem, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

  • The monitor does not display the entire desktop - having to move the mouse to see the corners of the screen.

    A part of the image on the monitor is not visible. It's as if I'm able to display an image 13 "on a 15 or 17 inch screen. The top and sides of the screen are not visible unless I move the mouse to the sides or the top or bottom. It's as if the computer is set to magnify the mode.

  • During the insert, the program monitor does not display the adjacent images

    On page 207 of the manual, it says:

    The program monitor can help you determine where to place a clip you add to a sequence. During a change of crush it, it displays the images

    in the adjacent sequence for the new clip head and tail. During a montage of the insert, it displays the adjacent images at the insertion point.

    When I drag a clip in the project Panel in a sequence, everything works as indicated in the manual. And when I drag the same clip with the program monitor, everything works still fine - but I don't see any adjacent items displayed. How to view?

    This works when you drag the movie, not the program monitor.

  • My firefox does not display the icon fonts!

    I use fontello.com for my web design project. But recently it does not display the icon.

    and the strange thing is that its OK my Firefox friends and just my PC have the problem.

    for example, this page shows icon on my friends firefox but I can't see the icons
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28793409/fontello-d3b0f38a/demo.html

    That's what I see
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28793409/shot.jpg

    If Safe Mode is good, the more likely culprits are one of your extensions or incompatibility of the graphics driver. To work around the second question, you can disable use of the hardware acceleration Firefox to see if that helps.

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    It takes effect the next time you exit and restart Firefox.

  • After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

    I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

    I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

    Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

    My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

    Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

    Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  • HP monitor does not display "DVi signal.

    My HP LP2275w monitor does not display "DVI signal" when connected with a DVI cable (supplied), but when it is connected via a VGA cable and adapter DVI/VGA (both supplied) it works but no BIOS screen. It begins immediately with the logo of the VICTORY.

    I just bought new HP Pavilion 500-158eg, Intel Core i5-4440, with AMD Radeon HD8570, 2GB processor, running on WIN7 Pro 64 b. VGA and another port of the motherboard are initially blocked so I can connect the monitor only via the output HDMI or DVI on the graphics card.

    I should note that on my old machine without a name with the graphic upgrade ATI Radeon, there is no problem and I used the same cable. There was an electric shock that causes the collapse of the motherboard so I can't even re - check on the old machine. I can't verify if there is a problem with the DVI cable because all laptops in our housing have only the VGA output...

    When I go to a website, the section of the navigation toolbar that displays the URL of the page is no longer indicates the URL http://www as he always did in the past. The size of the part has been reduced. Has expanded the area where you type URL for search engine. I have no problem with the navigation, history, bookmarks, tabs bar, etc. Only problem is that the URL does not display the page. Even this page has no URL displayed in the navigation bar.

Yes, I can to bookmark the page without any problem and can use bookmarks to return to the page. But no URL appears in fact as he always did in the past. Oh, I have an IMac and use a keyboard of razor.

    Hello.

    You should be able to resize the address bar, if the search bar is to the right by simply sliding the space between the address bar and the search bar.

    If that does not solve your problems, it is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and themes and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, tell me please, then we can work from there. Please be afraid not to follow my instructions to the line, as everything can be easily undone.
