• Cannot set external monitor like main window on T500

  How can I configure my external monitor as the main in Vista window when it is connected to the docking station DVI port mini?
  "My problem is that the check box ' this is my main monitor" is always disabled after having extended my desktop to monitor 4.

  The external monitor is loaded as screen 4. (Screen 3 is the T500 and 1 & 2 is assigned to the internal Intel screen card that is not in use)

  Thank you

  Vista because of grief in this regard and we have never seen a good answer about why.

  The good news is the utility Thinkpad Presentation Director - fire just that upward and step through the wizard. It will allow you to set up your monitors as you wish and save it as a profile. In most of the situations that the configuration will be available when anchor you, but worst case are you just select the profile of the PD icon in the task bar (or the value of the checkbox to automatically apply whenever the laptop is connected).

  I want to emphasize however that we have to make these options - the great victory is the ability to put primary watching for whatever reason Microsoft has grayed out in regular checkups.

  Best,

  Kevin

  P.S. If you really don't want to see the configuration of four screens and that you will not use the switchable graphics in the BIOS you can set discrete graphics (only) display rather than switchable. You will still likely PD to define primary/Main.

  PPS you should also be able to do through the ATI Catalyst Control Center, but in some cases that makes you stop more than the PD Assistant.

• How to get an external monitor like main screen...

  Hello...

  The monitor on my HP Pavilion dv9830us PC laptop has not worked for some time and I had to use an external CRT monitor for my screen. A few nights ago my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 10.04) failed to load and because I can not get flow to my external monitor until the video drivers on video Ubuntu loads, I am unable to run the repair of Ubuntu and the beginning of the start feature.

  Is it possible that I can get my laptop to use my external monitor at all times, even in the BIOS screen? Is there a setting in the BIOS for this?

  Thank you!

  Hi all...

  Nevermind, problem solved... Praise be to God!

  He made the screen on my laptop work long enough where I could press the needed button to get Ubuntu running and upward. This is literally the first time I saw him work in more than a year, no matter what I tried... seriously!

  Whatever your beliefs, (whose son is Jesus Christ) there is a God and he wonders!

  Thank you again...

• External monitor like main screen for M200 with docking station

  Hi all

  I have a Tablet M200 with GeForce FX go 5200. I have a Toshiba docking station and an external LCD display. When it is docked, I would use the external LCD as main display and the LCD builtin as the secondary display. (I want the taskbar, icons and newly opened windows on the external screen when it is docked.)

  Unfortunately, I can't find the right combination of settings of this. If I put Windows to extend the desktop on the external screen, "use it as primary display" option is grayed out. I don't get the span horizontally or vertically options in the nView utility, just the Standard and the Clone (and this only if I do not extend to the office.)

  How can I get the external screen be the main while being the internal school?

  Thanks in advance!
  Kind regards

• Tecra S2: Definition of external monitor like main display

  Hi all

  last week I got a new laptop Tecra S2 and I have the problem to my external monitor like main screen in dual display mode. The section in the window is grayed out.

  Anyone know how can I enable this feature?

  On my old laptop (Tecra S1 with ATI graphics card) there was no problem to move the main exit from the internal to the external display.

  Sincerely,
  Martin

  Hi Martin

  As much as I know it is not possible to set the external monitor as primary. The LCD cell is always set as primary. I use Tecra M1 (similar to S1) and this option is grayed out too.

  In my Office I use it with docking station and external monitor. When Windows starts the first appears on the external display, but the log in window is still shown at laptop LCD.

  Sorry, but it's like it was. Designed Toshiba display driver has been installed on your old Tecra S1?

• Satellite A200-1AE: How can I configure the settings of buttons Dual Mode Pad?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A200-1AE. I tried to configure the default first button on my touch pad (lower left) so that I can fire up MSWord, but it did not work.

  Now every time I have set the mode button and press this button, that nothing not to pass - I lost practically this button.

  My question is how can I configure the mode button on the touch pad settings? Even if I was able to start a program by using the 3 buttons how can I modify these programs?

  Thanks for your help!

  p.s. I read the extended version of the manual for my laptop. There is no explanation of my problem - it says I should look "Synaptics Dual Mode Pad properties.

  I don't know where are these properties.

  Hello

  It s is not so difficult as you think, the properties of the synaptics are in the "mouse properties" of your "Control Panel" of windows. When you reach the 'mouse', then click on the "Advanced" tab and you should find a button 'Advanced functionality settings'.
  It could be that the button is not named as mine, but it must be identical.
  After clicking on it, you should look for this 'easy' Launcher in one of the tabs.

  I think that you will make it, but I'd like some feedback from you.

• Satellite A200-1BJ - no display on external monitor

  Hello

  I have a display problem with my laptop, which is:

  When I connect my computer to an external display (projector - data show - using the rgb or s-video cable), the contents of my computer are not displayed.
  I used F5, Catalyst Control Center, but without success.
  When I connect it with a TV using s-video, I get the message "no signal".
  I think of the existence of the other devices, but the content is not sent to the external display.

  I don't know what the problem is. I need to use my computer and the screen using a projector for my presentations, which is very common.
  The problem is that he used to work, then suddenly it stopped display on external displays.
  I could not understand the problem, then I thought that the settings have been changed accidentally.
  So I formatted my computer back to the factory setting, but my attempt failed and it still does not display on the external monitor.

  My computer specs:
  -Toshiba Satellite A200-1BJ
  -Processor: Intel Core2 Duo
  -OS: Windows Vista editions Home Premium
  -Graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

  Does anyone know the solution?

  Thanks in advance.

  In your case I would update the BIOS and the display driver. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Have you tried different cables? Maybe it s faulty or too long.

  Also, be sure to use a rate of resolution and refresh supported for the external monitor display. You can change that in Catalyst Control Center.

• Satellite A200-1AE: Toshiba hardware utility - "serial number is invalid '.

  Dear Sirs,

  I have install Vista Business on my A200-1AE (origin, it was the home of top). I have install all the drivers except TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility. Then I try to install it says 'serial number is invalid '.

  Help how to install it and what can be a problem?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, this error message might appear for different reasons.
  First this error by using applications that was not designed for this series of laptop.
  Satellite A200-1AE belongs to the PSAECE series. Have you downloaded the tools and drivers for this series?

  Please check this!

  Second, the error of incorrect serial number appears if the wrong DMI information was stored on the system board.
  This could happen for example if a technician has not updated the DMI after a motherboard replacement.

  Finally and above all, it s that you have not installed all the drivers and applications in the right order.
  You must check the installation instruction txt file and need to install the drivers in the order mentioned in this file.

  Good luck

  I've updated Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE from Vista Home to Vista Enterprise, but now I can't find TOSHIBA Disc Creator and DVD MovieFactory for TOSHIBA software.

  No idea how to get this software?

  It seems that your Vista upgrade crashed the previous settings and therefore applications such as TOSHIBA Disc Creator and DVD Movie Factory has disappeared

• Satellite A200-1AE (PSAEC) - when the new update would be available

  Hello.

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE (PSAEC) and the latest BIOS is since 2007.

  Toshiba means update?

  I think that old "deserts" Toshiba series and that he cares only for new.

  Unacceptable

  Hi mate

  Why should Toshiba BIOS update?
  There's a problem with your laptop that should be solved by the BIOS updated?

  To be honest, I don't know if the new update of the BIOS would be available for an A200 but if something would not would be not wrong with the old BIOS Toshiba provide an update
  One of my friends has a laptop A200 and its working properly

• Re: Satellite A200-1AE does not work

  Hello!

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE computer that does not work.

  I use (d) for educational purposes and now the problem is that it will display no signs of life. the blue led light on the front of it does not illuminate when I connect it to the AC/DC adapter.

  I tested the AC/DC adapter with a voltmeter (it came with the computer in the box of the card when I bought the computer) and it works well.

  Yes, the battery could be dead also, but it should work just fine without it and is not.

  What to do about this problem?

  He has a dead motherboard? No, I can't be brave enough to think about.

  Help, please.

  Thanks in advance for your reply,

  Goran

  Hi Goran

  Everything is possible... also a dead motherboard.
  But to make sure exactly what s laptop computer checking is necessary.

  So, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck
