problems using two monitors. both screens show the same thing.

I use the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX integrated graphics.  I need to use the monitors at the same time, but with a capacity for dragging from one monitor to the wire to the other.

Hi Denise,

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307873 to learn how to configure and use multiple monitors in Windows XP.

To view the same desktop in multiple Monitors (Extending the displays)

-In the settings of the display properties dialog box tab, click the icon of the monitor that represents the monitor you want to use in addition to your primary monitor.
-Click to select the checkbox extend my desktop on this monitor . After enabling this feature, you can drag items across your screen on alternative screens. Or, you can resize a window to stretch it on several monitors.

Hope this information helps.  Let us know if you have any questions.

  • How can Photoshop zooms in on both screens at the same time, I fix?

    I had a second monitor connected to my Macbook. When I opened two separate documents, one on each screen at the same time and I want to zoom in to A Document, photoshop simultaneously zooms in Document B on the second screen. It's really annoying. After the update yesterday, it worked perfectly still for two hours, and now the same problem occurs. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello

    The question is what that jack the external display supports?
    I think that you can connect each external monitor, but you must be sure that the laptop will support the cable from the laptop.
    In addition, the resolution of the screen may be different. As far as I can remember that some screen resolutions are not listed in the properties of the graphics card. But I think that you don't need to use the resolution of the screen exactly one.

    I recommend taking the laptop at the dealership to monitor and its connection. You can check the output quality of monitor and what resolutions are available and taken care of. I think that testing before buying something are very useful.

  • iCloud sync for notes - two sets of notes on the same account

    Hi, I have something very unusual. In short, some time last year, it looks like notes on an account, which are synchronized in iCloud, split: now, the notes synced to iPhone/iOS or iCloud.com are the same, but they are different from the notes synced on two different Macs (MBA and MBP). Both Mac show the same set of notes - which, again, is different from the whole shown in iCloud and iOS.

    I tried disabling sync on Macs, disabling Notes containers and disabling sync on the iPhone. In cases that made a difference, tried separately and simultaneously. In each case, when the notes are synchronized to iCloud, they continue on this divergent synchronization.

    New changes made on a mac show on another mac, but not iCloud.com or iPhone.

    Changes made on the issuance of iCloud.com/iPhone on the other, but not the MacBooks.

    100% here is the same iCloud account and notes in the Notes application are notes belonging to this iCloud account (indeed, no other account cannot synchronize the notes, besides I have cleared the cache / deleted to force containers). And yet once, it is reproduced on the 2 devices.

    If this account could have really two streams of Notes being synced? What can I do to get it to one on all devices (no need to merge)? Thank you.

    WHAT IOS and OS are you using? If your IOS is the version 9 and Notes iCloud you upgraded, then the computers must be using 10.11 and Notes iCloud upgraded.

    Hi Paolo,.

    Adobe Comp brings some of the features of Adobe InDesign on your mobile device. There is no model for the laptop Desk/computer version, you can expect to use InDesign (and in fact your Comp creations can be opened directly in InDesign to continue your work).

  • When you use two monitors Media Player will not playback on screen #2 video (not a problem with the monitor #1).

    I'm sorry for the long post, but this is the type of problem that is easy to explain in person but if transported by writing it might take a little longer for the sake of the definition. Please read on without fear because this problem is not as complicated as you might think, I hope.

    I use two (2) screens of computers with the same system but why Media Player does not work on a single monitor and not the other monitor?

    I use two monitors with my PC thanks to the CLONE function and things last a lot. #1 monitor is a computer 19 "monitor. Monitor #2 is at the end of the piece. VIZIO, the manufacturer, markets a monitor #2 as a computer screen, nope, it's a 47 '' Vizio HDTV that I use as a computer screen. I use the installation without any problems for over a year now until yesterday. The problem: now, when I use two monitors to play a video, the sound will play but not the video. What I see is a black screen empty. This negative situation applies to only monitor the #2 and does NOT monitor #1.

    > very important Please note... when I have both monitors running and I play a video that you can actually see the video play on the #1, the 19-inch video monitor! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the video player when it runs on the small computer screen 19 inch. But when you turn your head to look through the living room where I Monitor #2 placed you won't see the video running on #1 monitor as you normally would before that dysfunction appeared. (No, instead of this you will see the Windows Media Player (or Nero or RealPlayer) readers 'playing' a black screen blank even if 1) both monitors are indeed cloned and 2) video plays without any problem on monitor # 1. Monitor #2 with media work (sort of) because the volume level is adjustable, and you can see the bar jump up and down and all around media player progression but the problem is that there is simply no video when you try watching the video on a monitor #2.

    > except to play videos through a Player multimedia, I can use my Vizio TV as a monitor for what is related to the computer, there is no another negative question. I can surf the web, edit videos, etc. When I run a video from Youtube to my computer the monitor #2 TV Vizio, the Youtube video plays well. Ditto for Netflix, no complaints there. In fact, I just typed this post on and displayed using Monitor #2... But if I want to watch a video that I saved in a folder XP then the only option is to use the #1 monitor.

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

    Do restore of the system as a first step. If this fails,

    1. uninstall all software of Monitor 2

    2. unplug the monitor 2

    3. restart the computer

    4. connect the monitor 2

    5. install all the software monitor

    Double "stacked" on first desktop on one monitor - desktop screen came just after using two monitors (Netflix on TV extended

    My computer kept crashing after I had hung a dual monitor.  The second monitor was my television, playing a Netflix movie while I also used my computer to work on.  After splitting the two, I kept crashing for a few days.  I tried to delete the second monitor in the display settings, but does not know how to do this, if it's possible, but I think it's the problem and the cause of the double view of the desktop on my computer now.

    Does anyone know how to confirm what the problem is for some, and/or instructions how to solve this problem if you already know what can cause this problem.  No assistance at all would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to understand this two days...

  • Using two monitors - application continues to pass to the other monitor

    I use two monitors.  Whenever I press the '2' key (or key keyboard 10) program that I work moves to the second monitor.  If I press '1' he moves back to the monitor 1.  I don't want to move!  Sometimes when using Quickbooks, Word, Excel, but not Internet Explorer (?).   I don't know when this started and what happened to do - so I can't "Cancel."  Help, please! :)

  • Some subtle problems with two monitors on Windows 7

    I used two monitors with your Windows 7 Desktop for quite awhile and I just had to replace a.  This is a problem which is probably easy to fix, but I don't know how to do it.

    I figured out which monitor, I wanted to just in front of the keyboard (the larger one) and that I wanted on my right.  The new is more.  They both work very well, but there are two problems:

    1. the office and the taskbar are in the older monitor to the right - I do not know how to move.

    2. the mouse is confused.  He considers that the monitors are in the reverse position.  In other words, when the mouse is moved on the screen to the right, I have to move it OFF THE RIGHT EDGE OF the SCREEN to enter the screen on the left.  I know that I can get used to this, but I'd rather not have to.

    Thanks in advance.

    DK

    Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and choose "Screen Resolution."

    (or Panel of-> screen-> the resolution).

    Above under 'Change the appearance of your screens', you should see two icons of the screen display.  Simply slide one on the right to the left of the icon on the left (so that they switch positions). Then press "OK" your way out.

    To select the screen that contains the task bar, select the icon for this monitor in the same screen as above and a small box should appear below the "Multiple displays" line that says 'Make this my primary monitor '.  Just check this box and OK your way out.

  • Compare Windows (Snap) using two monitors

    Using Vista and XP Pro, I open two instances of Windows Explorer and organize their visualization side by side, allowing me to move conveniently files manually.

    Windows 7 automates this task through its component feature snap, a feature that allows windows to be compared next by simply dragging an instance of the window on one side of the screen.

    I use two monitors 24 ".

    When I drag a window, like a version of the Windows Explorer, on the left side of the screen of the monitor 1, it fits perfectly and has a width of about 1/2 of the monitor on my left. Allows me to save a lot of time.

    When I drag another window on the right side of the monitor 1, he continues to travel to monitor 2. The window I want to compare not follow until it reaches the right side of the monitor 2.

    Is there a setting that allows the functionality of the component snap to recognize I want the additional window to align on the same screen as the window broken - left?

    Hello Stephenbuck415,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.
    Breaking of Windows works as expected, it will jump to the left edge and the right edge of the desktop. As you said, you extended your desktop on both screens, so the left edge of your desktop on the left edge of the display 1 and the right edge of your office is the right edge of display 2.
    You can use the WIN + l/r arrow in order to place your windows on each monitor.
    Hope this helps

  • using two monitors in Lightroom CC2015

    Forgive me if this is really basic but looking for clarity.  When you use two monitors, is the mode of the second monitor always match that of the primary?  In other words, if I'm in the grid of the main library, I can have secondary in magnifying glass and I guess it's still library.  So if I spend primary to develop, the Loupe view on secondary reflects also develop or it always shows the preview of the library?

    I ask this question because something's happening currently with a new computer.  Today, that develop on primary and magnifying glass on secondary, I clicked on secondary to zoom to 100% and she was never completely.  There is always a slight delay that the picture blurs then strong snaps but today he never did.  Just go in the primary and changing to the library, 100% view on secondary became strong.  Then it confusion is this primary switching to develop, zooms now secondary to 100% back fine?

    Thanks for the ideas.

    JR

    So whatever the image is selected on the main monitor will show on the secondary screen with normal eyesight.

    And that's regardless of the module.
