Third screen is grayed out (laptop + 2 extra monitors)

Hello!

Using two monitors for video editing for a while now and finally got rid of an old computer and I could save the monitor she (is be the exact model of the extra monitor I use already - Dell 1505FP). My computer is a mobile entertainment pavilion dv4-1465dx. I really wanted to do a 3 wide screen (Dell monitor on laptop from left, embossed in the Middle, Dell monitor on the right), but I've read that most of the consumer level graphics cards can not handle / made this extra monitor, but because I couldn't find the specifications for mine I assumed that since I have available ports I'm able to turn it on. Not to mention that the ethernet and card reader, I have:

VGA

This HP port

HDMI
ESATA

2 additional USB ports

My current attempt use a monitor with a VGA connection and the other with a DVI to HDMI adapter cable. In Control Panel, I can see that the computer recognizes the third screen, but the image is dimmed and shows "disconnect this view." When I try to change it, it just comes back to the same thing and do not apply the changes. I can do all kinds of configurations - but that you are unable to accept all 3 as an extended display.

In the advanced settings (ctrl + alt + F12) it also doesn't let me all 3 at once, but one monitor arrives as "monitor Dell... "while the other rises as"digital display Dell... ". "Can this cause anyting to do with him?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is what I can do with my current available options or is there something I need to buy to do this?

Thank you!

Hello

A high-end gaming laptop will support 3 monitors (including the main screen). If you want to use the following specifications for 3 monitors OR video editing, you bought a bad machine:

  • "Use all displays in mode full screen" is grayed out?

    Hello..

    I have two monitors on my Leopard system, with a guest of Fedora 11, but the menu item "use of all displays in mode full screen" is always grayed out.

    From what I've seen with Google, no one else on the planet is having this problem.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    It is essential for just about everything... without it, Windows runs without no VMware driver, so not only will there be a drop in performance, but you do not get a large part of the expected functionality (copy - paste between / guest chef, acceleration 3d, folders; printers;)... basically it all depends on the installed VMware Tools...

  • Always show full-screen aggregator grayed out when publishing/TOC

    Not sure if the two are related or not. When published with version 5 there is no button to remove the table of contents for the project of the aggregator. I have seen in blogs, is that something only available in version 6? Second, the option full screen is not available as well. I see the box, but it is greyed out in the publishing options.

    Thanks for the help everyone!

  • Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 - launch crashes on the registration screen, all grayed out menu items

    I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.1.

    At the launch, opens the window marked "Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3" - it is only filled with white and no text or graphics (I think that's usually the window asking me if I want to register, which always comes back when I run the program (rather annoying in itself).  However, it seems now that the launch is "interferes" in this window, like, even the program starts, all the menus are dimmed, and I can't open any files or anything.  Also, the above window has only the 'reduce' yellow button available at the top left, so I cannot close or otherwise get rid of it.  Since even the Quit function is grayed out, I have to leave the program with a force quit.  In addition, this same thing happens in my other CS3 programs (In Design) as well.

    I tried trashing the plist of photoshop (com.adobe.photoshop.plist) and also the file com.adobe.118.registration, which had no effect.

    Can any advice on how I fix?

    Thank you!

    I hope that this solution will work for you:

  • .NEF files in LR, now are still on the drive, appear not in Import (grayed out) what gives?

    I don't have a lot of questions that I can't understand.  I use LR for days... best Beta software since PS

    Anyway, working on existing jobs, went to the folder in THE 4.4 brought up job.  Noticed that TWO of the pictures with that I need to work are not in lightroom where I had worked on their last time.  DON'T worry, they are in the folder via the Apple Desktop finder.  So I go back to reimport job thinking that I accidentally deleted the cat of LR.

    Well I'll import it files are (with the other 200) shaded as if they were STILL in the catalog.  So, apart from the new name all the work and re - import all the work, resulting in this situation?  I checked all the filters are disabled...  I don't know where to go next.  I checked all logical.  I can open the files in question in coverter PS Raw.

    I don't want to change the workflow as balance has already been done. I want to adjust a few things and export work.  Thanks for the replies.

    When you try to import photos and thumbnail in the import screen is grayed out, it means that the photos are always in Lightroom. There is no need to re - import, or other drastic measures.

    You have to find photos in Lightroom, and then you can use them.

    You must perform these three before looking for

    1. In the catalog Panel, click all photographs
    2. Disable all filters (once or twice ctrl-L)
    3. Develop all batteries (right-click on a photo, select stacks-> develop all batteries)

    Then you search for photos by file name.

  • Why my screen saver settings are grayed out

    On one user on my PC, I am unable to change the screen saver activation time of 10 minutes.  The box 'on CV.... ' is also unavailable.  Under XP it was only grayed out when the screen saver says 'None '. As soon as you have selected something, then you can change the values.  It's extremely frustrating because I can't make presentations without constantly moving the mouse back to does not not the system to go to sleep.  I went through all my programs and configurations of economy of energy but not available.  I log on a domain server, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with one of the other profiles that I use on the same computer.  I am currently trying to install a bunch of updates and see if it will work, but I don't think it will do as much as they seem to be unrelated with.

    In fact, I got my answer.  It comes from our domain server settings... arrrrrrgh.  but thank you.

  • My screen saver settings box is grayed out (locked)

    My screen saver settings box is grayed out (locked) and allow me to choose a screen saver, even though my customizations page shows my saved theme screen saver.  How to "turn" the screen saver settings?

    Hi dez9rlady,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the screen saver.

    1 how long have you been experiencing this problem for?

    2. have you recently installed or uninstalled any software?

    3. you experience this with all the screen savers in the list?

    4. what version of Windows 7 operating system is installed on your computer?

    5. you are the administrator of your computer?

    6. your computer is under any active field?

    Go to start > run and type regedit. The Registry Editor opens.

    Find the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop

    Look for the entry that says SCRNSAVE. EXE and the clear key.

    In addition, if you have an entry that says ScreenSaveActive, delete this key as well.

    Once you do this, you should be able to choose a screen saver.

    Note: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Waiting: grayed out in screen saver

    I've looked everywhere for the right key which controls if the wait: time is grayed out or not and I can not find.  I know that's not one of these:
    ScreenSaverIsSecure
    ScreenSaverTimeOut

    Thank you
    Milton

    concerning Milton

    They are grayed out for me as well on my work computer, a result of the setting of group policy defined by my administrator to prevent any user to change the settings.  When the value of using a domain administrator group policy, the settings are not controlled by any value in the registry.  Instead, the value is applied during logon system.

    This may explain the behavior, you see?

    Note that if you are not on a company/school area, you can use gpedit.msc (type in the Run dialog box) to change your group policy settings.

    Hi - I have to check the PDF in two different versions of Acrobat.  On my computers, accessbility features work very well.  Then when I went my other office on my laptop, I tried to check the accessbility and all controls of same on the other computer are grayed out.  I'm quite intrigued by this so I do not know if the laptop has a kind of blocking permissions (I do this work for a government agency) or what.

    Here is a screen shot side by side versions of two computers of Acrobat
