Secondary monitor not recognized - problem with Windows 7.0?

Hello
I am running Windows 7.0 on my system. I have connected a secondary monitor, but this additional monitor is not recognized. Could someone suggest something that can be done to remedy this?
Thanks for your time,
Jaymanika.

Make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date.  In the case of ATI, use later.  In the case of nVidia, archived version 182 has proved to have the most success with the people here.

  • Printing problems with Windows 7

    Since moving to Windows 7, I have problems printing.  What you see is not what you get.  For all programs (Word, Excel, Access) - the info is being printed as if it is printing on a 8.25 x 10.25 instead of 8 x 11 paper size.  I can't print labels because they don't properly space.  NOT SATISFIED WITH WINDOWS 7!

    If you're happy with Windows 7 is of course your choice.
    but I would point out that the problem you are experiencing is not a problem
    with Windows 7. The problem is with the driver that you use for your
    printer (and drivers are written by the printer manufacturers, not by)
    (Microsoft). Either you have the wrong driver or the driver has bugs
    it. or you can use the wrong driver.

    It's just a guess, but my guess is that you have the wrong driver.
    Check with the manufacturer of your printer, either by phone or on their web
    site for the right pair.

  • Dual monitor boot problem with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit after installation of any graphics program like a game.

    I have built this platform with the help of the owner of a store of 4 cumputer teir 2 years ago. We initially put Windows Vista 32 bit on the system to Vista 64 bit unstable atm. For 2 years, the computer worked like a dream. Last week I made a clean wipe of windows vista and windows 7 professional 64-bit installed. The system has two monitors. The primary monitor is a sony bravia with 26 "led and secondary for watching movies is that a 55 '' led Samsung 1080 p 240 Hz. The graphics card is a geforce GTX 295 nividia. It has 12 GB of Ram and the CPU is an i7 965 @3.20.

    The problem I have is this. After the installation of any game average to work with windows 7, the screens to reset their resolutions automatically more than a few times as they are confused. Sometimes, I have to return the screen to its correct resolution after installation in full. Most of the games and then run fine. After installing the game or any game designed for win 7 startup of computers is all messed up for the monitors. After starting hand 26 "sets its resolution and then after about a second 30 pause the computer makes the sound (the double) that it is resolutuons to reset monitor again? After that this second reset about 1-2 minutes the computer is good to go, unless it sets the res evil. The problem is the computer has never done that with vista and it is very annoying say the least. It still freezes the installation of some games. The only way to resolve what I found is the restoration of the system. The computer starts normally and screen ground is defined once she has always been. The only problem is when you install another game, the problem is their new. This problem is worse in some games.

    The latest nvidia drivers have been installed. There is no conflict in the device with the exception of an old printer Manager. The two comes is set to 60 hertz. I searched all over the internet and there seems to be a problem with windows 7 without solution. I am at a loss. Any other information that you need let me know and I'll post it. Thank you!

    Hi ancientone618,

    It sounds almost as if there is a Windows update that is in conflict with your NVIDIA Driver Installer.  I would say to disable automatic updates of Windows to see if it might help:

    Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    I already followed several instructions on this subject:

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

    [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

    [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

    [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

    [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

    [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

    A2. Yes.

    A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

    A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

    A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

    If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.

  • Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

    And this is a problem:

    When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

    I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
    Tried to run as administrator - did not help

    What can I do else?

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

  • External hard drives not recognized / work in Windows 7

    I see that many people have problems with Windows 7 does not recognise external drives. I have a SimpleTech Pro 1 t external drive used to be recognized with Windows 7, but is no longer recognized. He wasn't arrested only recently recognized. I if it is the car, so I bought an external drive of Hitachi LifeStudio 2 t. It does work on my desk. However, two external drives work with my laptop running MS Vista. So the problem is not with the external drives. On the contrary, the problem is with Windows 7 is no longer recognizing external drives. I read a lot of posts here and see that many people have the same problem, but none of the solutions are presented. Windows 7 does everything just not with external drives? It's frustrating.

    Hello
     
    Have you tried the troubleshooting steps?
     
    Step 1: Try to run Automated Troubleshooting Services and check out what he has to say.
    Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems

    Step 2: You can also check in the device if Manager disk external drive is listed.

    a. connect the external hard drive to the computer.
    b. to open Device Manager, type devmgmt.msc in the search box start and press ENTER.
    c. check if the external drive is listed.
    d. in Device Manager, expand the hard drive listed in the list of devices.
    e. If the hard disk is listed, right click on it > click Properties.
    (f) in general, under control of device for the message status. After back if there is no error message.
    Step 3: Check to see if the external drive is getting detected in disk management.

    If the hard drive recognized in disk management and if there is no drive letter assigned, I suggest that you right-click on the drive and assign a drive letter and check to see if it helps:
    Step 4: Since external hard drive is detected earlier, I suggest that you try to perform system restore.
    Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore
     

    Step 5: Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    To remove and reinstall all USB controllers, follow these steps:

    c. click theDevice Manager button.

    d. expandBus USB controllers.

    e. right click on each device under theBus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.

    f. restart the computer and reinstall the USB controllers. Restarting the computer should automatically install the drivers.

    g. plug in the removable USB storage device and perform a test to ensure that the problem is solved.

    Step 6: Install the windows updates and check.
