The main screen becomes secondary in a Setup dual monitor (DVI-HDMI)

Original title: WINDOWS PROGRAMMERS: problem with OS Windows7 not being not able change the numbers of identifiers when using multiple screens and HDMI

To be clear... This problem is with the Win7 OS - no video card GUI that allow to change number ID display on multiple monitors.

Problem with several screens and the use of HDMI cables substituent and #1 assuming that for its corresponding display view identifier.

Not always ID desired.

But there is no way to change this.

EXAMPLE:

Monitor is configured as primary display (ID #1) using a DVI cable

Then I connect my SONY Bravia or my LG HDTV displays using HDMI cables, the new screen automatically takes over as the display identifier #1 and the monitor becomes identifier #2.

-This introduces to the identifiers is not something I want, need or want to deal with every time I use several displays. And it creates problems.

There is NO way to correct or modify the identifiers.

Please provide a FIX as soon as possible if you have an ounce of concern for the customer service.

The solution can be as simple as:

GO to THE control panel - appearance and customization - display - change display settings:

Right CLICK... on one of the displays in the window to the left of "Detect" / "identify."

Then the OPTION 'Change display login' with a list of relevant identifier numbers according to the number of multiple connected screens.

Click 'apply '.

CLICK ON 'OK '.

and Voila! View identifiers are defined.

Hi Jean-Pierre.

Thank you for all the information related to the issue.

This problem may occur if the display of the configuration settings dual monitor retain the configuration. Possible reasons could be installed on the computer outdated display driver.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer or the graphics card?
  2. Are you using double display card? Sometimes changing the display settings for the display cards might solve the problem.

First of all, if you have a display of the map or media panel installed on the computer, go to the control panel and change the setting under multiple display change. Assign the identity number according to the status monitor, then check if it retains the configuration when you restart the computer.

Additionally, make sure that you have installed the latest version of the display driver for Windows 7 from the website of the manufacturer of the computer. Sometimes, if the driver is not being updated, the setting may not keep the entire installation. See the link to know how to update the driver on Windows 7:

  • Windows move to the main screen when sleeping Satellite-S50T-B

    Satellite S50T-B, Windows 8.1. Whenever my laptop sleeps, it moves all the icons and windows open on the secondary external monitor on the laptop monitor. Like a lover double screen, it's extremely annoying. I keep having to set up my work space.

    I expect that there is a bug in the video driver, which means that she sees the monitor off as a result of the command 'sleep' of the laptop as a monitor "unplugged" and it is reported to the operating system for the operating system moves all the icons and windows on the main screen, so when I turn again, they are all in the wrong place.

    Please note that the disappearance of the screen as a direct result of it being sent a sleep command should not be interpreted in any way other than the monitor to sleep as said.

    When I can see a fix for this frustrating problem?

    Hello

    If you would google for this problem, you will find a lot of discussions and information about this system.

    From my point of few this issue is linked to the State in sleep mode. There are the States of sleep mode (S0, S1, S2, S3, S4)

    S3 is generally the default standby mode, while the S4 is generally the mode of hibernation by default.
    Here all the details:

  • HP G42-415DX: in a Setup dual monitor, perhaps armored secondary monitor white screen?

    I have a Setup dual monitor, where the laptop is tied to a 2nd monitor (TV) via HDMI. I mainly use the 2nd monitor. Can I empty the 1st monitor (laptop screen) screen, yet still use the 2nd monitor with lid open to access the keyboard?

    (I noticed with parameters changed in the Panel of Win7, I can close the lid without cutting [sleep, Hibernate or shutdown] computer and had to lower the monitor display 2nd to adapt to the screen.) But to use the keyboard, open the lid of the portable computer, which involved the 1st screen)

    Thank you

    Hi Kalad,

    I think the same as you do sometimes, especially when I watch a movie and you want that it will display on the bigger screen and the simultaneouly have the laptop screen is off.

    As you need to use the keyboard of the laptop and want the second poster only, which suggests to select the "Projector" only option in the pop-up menu by pressing the Fn + F4 key.

    & to come back again having two screens or single screen press Fn Key & F4 on your keyboard and select "Extend" or 'Unplug the projector' options respectively.

    I am an employee of HP.

  • On the main screen color questions

    Hello

    So I use the X201T with very bright display on Win7 64.  From time to time display on my screen color seems to be very off, almost as if the gamma have been shifted too far.  All graphics settings seem fine, yet the only solution seems to be a reboot.  Initially, I noticed the problem seems to occur more often when waking from sleep, but this is no longer the case.  Took me to update to the latest version of the bios and video drivers, but always without success.

    Today, I noticed something interesting on the problem.  When I have an external display connected, the colors on the outside are very good if I cloned the original display or extended desktop.  However, what I've learned today, is that when the issue is raised, it is connected permanently to the main screen only - which means that if I have my external screen defined as my main screen, there only color problems while my laptop display looks great.

    I don't know if this could be a hardware problem, a bios problem, a driver problem or a graphic properties issues intel.  Any help would be greatly appreciated .

    Thank you

    Just a quick update incase somebody stumbles on this thread:

    The problem seems to be the lenovo display driver.  Although I tried to install the display driver intel in the past, the only solution was a clean Windows 7, followed by the installation of the driver setup intel only.

    Note that in my first own installation, I opted for the display of lenovo driver and still had persistent problems of color.  On my second try, I went straight for the intel driver and do not know the problem any longer.

  • How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer?

    How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer? So I can see what she gets up to the computer because I have no way of knowing.  She went totally bananas when I put parental controls on its site.  It has a password.  I am the administrator of computers.  Thank you

    I assume you have no access to the password for the user of your daughter.  As an administrator, you may open the control panel in Win XP and select user accounts.  The options will allow you to change or remove the password of your daughter.  Then you could sign on behalf of your daughter.
    However, who would probably trigger another outbreak of 'bananas', because your daughter will realize that you have changed or deleted her password.  This forum is not how parents react to problems of girl.  However, she is only 14, is YOUR computer and you have good reason to worry about his online activities.

  • Product key not recognized during a repair of xp pro sp2 on a genuine xp pro sp2 disk. stuck on the main screen of the product.

    After starting problems on my Toshiba satellite with xp pro sp2, I booted my xp pro sp2 disk and did a repair instead of a reinstall software.  He went through the motions, removed the sys files, copied them back and so on.  Then he asked my product key and I typed in it and it does not recognize.  It's a real bought copy of xp pro sp2.  Now, I'm stuck on the main screen of the product.  When I start the laptop on the xp disk it blue screens, the only option I have is to enter a product key in the configuration...  I have my receipt for my xp pro disk and product key for certification sticker.  Help, please!

    "XP MCE Pro? That is not normal! It would be one or the other (AFAIK). Here is an example:

    http://cdn2.ioffer.com/IMG/item/811/353/46/o_XyuQav94U1MQ0Ci.jpg

    If the hybrid you mention is the real thing, it's new to me! I know that some have described as a superset of Pro MCE, but I never used this version, so I can't tell you definitively that a COA sticker wouldn't this combo of terms...

    In addition, the term 'Enterprise Edition' implies something not legitimate. I do not think that Microsoft has never used the term marketing for Windows.

    If you had a legitimate retail version of Windows XP (any version) that is not used on another PC, you can perform a Clean Install (not a repair installation), using this key (not the key COST laptop). The only way you can use the key from your laptop COST would be if you used the correct installation CD - a generic OEM version of the corresponding XP (MCE?) version. In this way, you can perform a clean installation or a repair installation.

    Have you looked at the links I posted? What do you mean by "boot option? The instructions were to press the zero key while turning on the laptop. You are not supposed to enter the OS! The recovery partition is quite distinct.

    If your laptop does not a recovery partition, you should be able to get the correct recovery CD for this Toshiba - by Toshiba or you might need to find a reputable eBay merchant, etc.. Restoredisks.com, who has a good rating from Better Business Bureau, they probably sold too.

    Try to return to the English Canada and see if the desktop icons reappear.  If they do, when the default language has changed he assumed you have created a new 'profile' perhaps and you see profile this profile's empty office.  Alternatively, if a new profile has been created, open the old profile (person) when you open a session.
