Posting videos on the extended desktop.

I use a projector with my laptop with the projector set up under the extended desktop. This works with PowerPoint and other projection software that I use. However, when I try to show a video using Windows Media Player, it displays full-screen on the laptop. I know that I could use the display settings to change to extend to two copies, but I don't want to keep doing this, as much as most other operators is not as competent as users.

In Windows XP. I could set the options so vidoes would display on both; in a small window (with controls) on the laptop and the mode full screen on the projector. How can I do this in Windows 7?

Hello, I have just submitted the feedback as suggested. I referred to the Powerpoint option to select which monitor you want to run the slide show, which is what I'm after in Windows Media Player.

  • Qosmio G30: How to turn on the extended desktop?

    It is possible to extend the desktop on the screen of the laptop and and external monitor when connected to an external monitor? I see in the manual that he talks with the "simultaneous" external display and the monitor to the laptop, but I need her to be not only "reproduced" and "extended" on both monitors for both monitors.

    In addition, these two monitors can operate with different resolutions (for example, 1280 x 1024 on the resolution of the laptop standard and external)?

    It is also possible to drive two external monitors of the single monitor out (I do not, but thought I would ask)?

    Of course, it should be possible to activate the extended desktop.
    Go to the display properties. Then, choose the number of Monitor 2 and choose the option to extend my desktop on this monitor

  • M300: Don't forget the extended desktop settings

    I use my M300 with a monitor and an extended desktop (i.e. different images on both monitors). I also have the external monitor put in place for a higher resolution than the lcd (and on the left of the LCD not allowed).

    However, I have to redo the settings everytime I connect. Is there a way to get the graphical utility to remember the configuration (and even to assign to the left button of the keyboard hardware)?

  • Satellite P200 Vista Ultimate - Extended desktop does not remain on the left

    I can EXTEND my desktop to a second LCD on my Satellite P200 without problems - UNTIL I place it on the LEFT.

    It will not retain this position (I need to reposition after every restart - this I can live with that).

    But I use a KMV switch intensively, whenever I come back to the Satellite, the extended desktop is back on the right.

    Hello

    I think it s a display driver problem.
    Try to update the graphics driver to the latest version.
    If you will be late nothing on the European driver Toshiba page try to search on the site of Toshiba Canada and 3 websites of third parties such as www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

    If you will not find the latest drivers try this temporary fix.
    Don t let the Windows Vista TMM to manage your multiple monitors.
    Go to Task Scheduler, in the list of active tasks, find the line task TMM, turn it off - off on logon trigger (or delete - save/export task before you do), and then restart your windows. I hope it will work ;)

  • Extended desktop preferences reset on logout, restart or sleep.

    I have my laptop is docked to a ViewSonic monitor to the right of the laptop. I prefer to use the Extended Desktop setting. The laptop screen is my main screen and the ViewSonic monitor is my secondary display.

    I've had this laptop for only a few weeks. Whenever he goes to sleep, undocked, or restarted, it 'forgets' the display settings and returns to a default setting of cloned with the monitor (not portable) desktop computers set as primary. Curiously, before it reverts to the default settings, it briefly displays the Office extended with my favorite settings. So, I have to manually reconfigure the display properties. A real pain to do several times a day.

    I don't have this problem with this monitor with my previous laptop (running XP Pro). Is it a Windows 7 problem? It seems that Vista had a problem like this, my review of the other forums.

    Any comments would be much appreciated.

    Right click on the desktop and then click Properties.
    In the DisplayProperties dialog box, click the settings tab.
    Click the display list and select your external monitor. If you don't see more monitors listed, your hardware may not support Dualview. You can still use MaxiVista to set up a second computer as an additional screen, however.

  • Difficulty playing the video in the Desktop Application

    Hello

    I'm playing two H.264 encoded (.mov) videos in a desktop AS3 application. I tried publication Air and projector, but both have (different) problems with playback. When you test the SWF in Flash, both work very well.

    I use a simple NetStream function to play videos from a local directory. As I have said, that they both will work perfectly in Flash, so I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but have struggled to find documentation on the streaming locally.

    The application of Air works better, but can't seem to play the second video. (I have also had terrible evil to do around from safety of Air that I use LocalConnection in another part of the application, so prefer not to use it).

    The projector starts to play the two videos but soon began to stammer and choke and eventually freezes the entire application.

    The Adobe documentation states that it is possible to use NetStream locally, but maybe that's not the case?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

    Maryann

    I think you started the right way - there is no reason to suspect that this problem would exist initially. I don't have a direct solution for you, but I find that it is useful for creating small samples of what is the problem and suggest trying the following...

    Create a simple SWF file that only charge & play video. Do nothing else in this file (in the unlikely event that something else is affected video playback) and then display them in the projector and the way air.

    Also, just try to use the video component included in another simple example and see projector/air, just to see if you encounter the same problems of reading. If you do, I had initially suspec something on your computer system compared to Flash.

    I have not ran across, or noted problems such as this, in which controlling loading/video using the NetConnection and Netsrream classes... I've done a few projects with H.264 videos, but they weren't in the format MP4, MOV (I guess that there should be no difference in reading, however).

    One last thought - what is the data rate you have compressed your videos? If it is really high (2 megabits per second), maybe it is too much tax on your system (and is too high for the general display broadband, anyway).

  • window appears on the extended screen, but the screen isn't there anymore so can't get to the window (2nd screen on laptop is only when it is connected to the desktop)

    Hi... interesting problem. I use my laptop computer on a desk with a second screen and moving.

    The last time I was using my laptop on the desk, I brought an application (Quicken) on the second screen and now when I start it up it displays on-screen extended even if I use the standalone laptop. I can't demand because it appears in the second screen and I can't get it back to the main screen. I even rebooted and it seems to 'remember' where is was the last time.

    Any thoughts on how to get it back (I know I can reconnect the second screen and move it back, but what about the time when I'm not near my office and want to access an application that was last used on the extended screen.)

    Argh...

    Thanks for your thoughts, I assume that there is a simple key sequence to make it visible on the main screen once I can't find it anywhere.

    Kind regards

    Very late reply, I have the same problem and I solve it hovering over the window you want in the taskbar when the preview window displays a right-click on it.  Select optimize.  The window will appear on your screen.  No, you can enter the window and its size down, it stays on the current view

  • Problem with "Extended desktop", integrated display is disabled

    Hi all

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2011 with OSX El Capitan 10.11.4.

    Just before I upgraded to 10.11.4, I use to work with "extended desktop" using the built-in screen and the external monitor. Since the update, whenever I connect the external display it goes automatically to the external screen and completely disables the built-in screen. Sometimes removing the HDMI cable (with mini port adapter), putting the MacBook to sleep, log in again and the Mac, the awakening back on two screens, but most of the time he spends just go back to the external display only. This gets really annoying.

    When you use the external monitor display poster preferences only options of this monitor and my arrangement tab is missing (like the built-in display is temporarily disabled). By clicking on "Detect displays" (after pressing option to show) doesn't change anything. Using the brightness to toggle keys mirroring does not work either.

    Is - it there anyway that I can configure so worth by default "Extended desktop" with built-in monitor on and external display?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi there Ajgalvezm,

    It seems that your computer does not work with your monitor external because you upgrade 10.11.4. I would use these steps in the following article to help you solve problems that:

    Get help with graphical problems on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
