  • Video HTML5 will not be full screen on the second monitor?

    While playing a Html5 video full screen on my second monitor, whenever I try to do anything else the video mode full-screen. Video Flash works very well and will stay full screen on my second monitor. I also tried the same Html5 video in Google chrome and worked correctly and remained full screen too. So why the Html5 video will not remain on a second monitor fullscreen in Firefox?

    There is a fix for this, but apparently it is not yet available in the current version of Firefox (12.0). At the next update of Firefox comes out, you will be able to go to about: config and game "full-screen - api .exit-on-disable" false and the problem will be solved.

    I hope Mozilla will soon that the default for users will not do this!

  • Mouse pointer disappears on the second monitor

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion TX2000, Vista Home Premium 64-bit, running with an Acer 17 inch flat screen as a second monitor.

    After the awakening of fashion 'sleep' mouse cursor is no longer visible on the secondary monitor. The cursor is really active on this screen, because you can see different buttons highlite that you move the mouse, and if "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key," is checked in the properties of the mouse, you can see where the pointer is located, while the pointer is not visible.

    This happens with the keyboard or an external mouse; with the monitor connected to the VGA on the laptop or the VGA of the docking station port. I have the latest video drivers. Vista is updated with SP1 and all other updates.

    Strangely, if I have a Virtual PC window on the secondary monitor, the mouse cursor is visible in the virtual machine, but not in the screen space that surrounds the window of the VPC.

    There seems to be many other people with the same problem, using different combinations of material. The ususal job is to allow "Pointer trails", that work somehow, but cause other problems such as stuttering and loss of the cursor in the text entry areas.

    It is a real pain, because the only way to recover the pointer is to restart. I hope that someone here has a solution. The problem is also included in Windows 7.

    fnotneyrod,

    Although Microsoft works closely with many OEMs and parts 3d and worked by ensuring compatibility with hundreds of devices and applications Microsoft does not guarantee the functionality of these devices or applications. It is the responsibility of the OEM / 3rd party to provide drivers or updates for their products in order to make them work under Windows.

    We recommend you to contact HP for help as this seems to be the associated driver compatibility.

    Another option would be to test this situation under an environment 32-bit (many manufacturers offer more compatible drivers for 32-bit systems as they were longer).

  • Is it possible to use a second monitor with Windows 7 starter edition.

    Original title: I want to thank my screen on a second monitor, but my pack to boot windows 7 does not give me this option. Should I upgrade to Windows 7 only for this, or are there free tools/downloads available?

    It does not recognize the monitor, but it's simply not show the option "extend the screens/monitors" in the menu dropdown.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you have not the possibility to extend your desktop to an external monitor or projector in Windows 7 Starter edition. It would be best to upgrade to Windows 7 family premium, professional, Ultimate or enterprise.

    For more information, see the following links:

    When I attached a second monitor via a HDMI cable and try to use the duplicate, extend or second screen display modes only, I can get the video to view and run but I get no audio unless I put the laptop display settings to p / only mode.  I really want to use the second screen for PowerPoint/Presenter and play a video (with sound).  Even if I try to play a video on YouTube, I can't get audio only mode p / screen.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Please disable the HDMI to force audio to the laptop or use different such as VGA or DVI conection. To hell with its HDMI, please click right "speaker" icon > playback devices > right click and disable the HDMI sound.

    Hey,.

    Have a problem when you run an application like games full screen, my second monitor is trolling. As the Setup program intended to game the first monitor and control the second tremor of a data stream. Some people say that Windows 8 is covering the fps when running the application full screen.

  • Win 8/IE 10: video Flash in mode full screen in dual monitor; video freezes on the second monitor

    All,

    At the launch of a Flash video in full screen when you are using two monitors, the video freezes at a still image on the second monitor. This happens in mirror and screen extended mode images.  The video continues to play normally on the first screen, and the audio continues normally as well.  This problem appears only during playback of the video using Internet Explorer, do not not Firefox.

    This seems to be a software problem, not memory or devices.  To be clear, the video is not stutter. rather, it freezes at a still image. I didn't have this problem using internet explore with the same configuration until I upgraded my laptop Windows 8.

    Here is my configuration:

    Windows 8. Internet Explore 10.

    Shockwave Flash Object: 11.6.602.167

    ASUS laptop computer connected to a HD LED TV via HDMI.

    GeForce GT650M graphics card.

    Core i7 and 8 GB of RAM.

    You think, what is happening? Troubleshooting ideas? Thank you.

    I just gave it a try on my setup triple monitor, but could not reproduce the problem.  I tried both stretching and duplicate the work stations, but they all work as expected.  If Firefox works well, then I wouldn't suspect your video driver but it is probably useful to take a look without worrying to do of course, you have the latest driver installed.  Then, try to temporarily disable hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference.

    How to disable or enable hardware acceleration?

  • Satellite 1130-Z31: impossible to get 1600 x 900 on the second monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1130-Z31 (an old, but everything works well).

    Now, I have attached a second monitor with a native resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels.

    I put the second screen resolution to 1600 x 900, it is accepted.

    However, the image on the second monitor is ugly, and the external monitor´s what OSD says it gets 1440 x 900 pixel laptop computer signals.

    It seems that Toshiba sends an image with a lower resolution on the whole.

    I installed the latest graphic driver - no change.

    Or would it be a problem with a bad quality VGA cable or almost?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the info which resolutions are supported for external screens, but if you can't get 1600 x 900 pixels which means that this resolution is not supported by the graphics card.

    What video port are you using? VGA 15 pins port maybe?
