• laptop connected to an external monitor with vga cable issues?

  1The votefavorite

  I use a Sony Vaio e series laptop running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, which I always connect to an external monitor with a VGA cable. I put graphics options to display only on the external monitor and I would like to close the lid of the laptop. In the power settings I put it do nothing when the lid closes. When it is connected to the external screen I am able to look at the screen very well if the lid of the laptop is open. But whenever I close the lid, the display on the external monitor is turned off. I have tried everything I can think of as the use of a keyboard to toggle the display, change the plan to plug the monitor off before and after and even more, to much to list etc. I actually did it on my HD TV using a Hdmi cable that allows me to close the lid. But I want to use it only on my monitor that is sadly only VGA. I know I'm not alone here, I found many forums on the same issue, but nobody seems to have an answer. It is always with the help of a VGA cable when I find others with the same problem. Does anyone know where a response? It seems either VGA may be quite old now since the introduction of HDMI, that Microsoft has not bothered to look on this or get out an update to resolve this issue. Sorry it's just very frustrating because cannot find an answer, and I don't like the laptop overheating or wasting money on energy.

  (1) right click on your power Option icon on the taskbar

  (2) will take you to Options below

  Control Panel:

  Choose what closing the lid"this choice is the 3rd in your list of choices

  The next screen will allow you to configure your choice:

  When I close the lid:

  On battery: do nothing and

  Plugged in: Do nothing

  This will prevent your system/video to go to sleep or stopping

  Hope this helps

• How to share printer connected to the Windows XP with Windows 7 computer

  Original title: printer problem

  I have a HP USB printer connected to a PC running XP.  My wife has a laptop and connects to my Internet connection through a router.  Is there a command in XP that will access the printer even though it is not wireless?  The laptop is running Windows 7 and using Microsoft Home and Business 2010, and therefore the PC.   I was told that it is a command, but can't find it.

  Hi BudRamey,
   
  Share the printer from Windows XP for use with Windows 7 as well.
   
  See this link for more information on this operation:
  How to use Windows XP to share a printer with other people on your network
   
  Additional reference on:
  To share your printer 
   
  Once you share the printer from the computer Windows XP, select the wizard file sharing and printers in Windows 7 as well.
   
  Refer to the section "to turn on network discovery, file and sharing, printers and files public sharing under Windows 7" from the link given below to do the same thing.

• No connections avalible on windows 7 with a working wireless adapter.

  That's what happened. I was in a Skype call with my friend and we had a connection error after about 30 seconds. Immediately I thought that it was my internet because my internet was very uneven, lately. After resetting my router and comeing back upstairs, I had the No. are networks avalible on my screen. Initially I thought that the proablem lied through my system services application, because that's where I set the proablem last time I had this proablem. What I did after that was I have activated the service autoconfic wwan and wlan autoconfiguration service. Has nothing. According to what I've done, I went to control panel and pass to solve my adapeter wireless even if it has been enabled and connected. Then I went in my device manager and tried to update the drivers on my adapter wireless by uninstalling it and then put it back. Then I noticed that teredo tunneling Pseudo-Interface was defective. I went to check and saw that he cound not start and had an error code 10: cound device does not start. I went to google and learned how to turn it off, and I did. After that he appeared more in the Device Manager which is ok because I thought that it would fix the internet. He did not.before all this I did a before a "critical update" windows system restore but that also did not help. I started running out of options. Please help me.

  It seems to me, of course, that your wireless network card is toast, no matter what that says Device Manager.  However...

  I didn't ask and you don't mention what you use a wireless router.  Is it possible that the router configuration has changed to the Wireless-N only, Wireless-B only, or some other setting with no Wireless-G?

  Indeed, is it possible that your wireless router has its section wireless disabled or broken?  Do you have any other wireless device that you can use to determine if the router is working OK?  If possible, test with a device near your desktop (it sounds as if your router is at some distance away).

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free) is not an antivirus.  It's a scanner antimalware on demand/remover that is intended to be used with an antivirus program.  See https://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/hc/en-us/articles/201861736-Does-Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware-replace-antivirus-software-

  Similarly, for Windows 7, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program and not an antivirus (Microsoft makes things very confusing by reusing the same names for different products).

  If these two are security programs only you, your system is vulnerable, and you must install a real antivirus program.  Free offer of Microsoft - Windows 7 - is Microsoft Security Essentials.

  For now, I suggest that you run the ESET Online Scanner (free), but I don't think that malware is the cause of your Wi - Fi connection problem.

  D - Link does not appear to be any drivers for the Rev B of your adapter for what version that went Windows XP 32-bit.  D Link says that you should connect to the Internet using your wired LAN connection and get the driver right from Windows Update.  When you uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter using Device Manager, have you checked the box to delete the driver software?  If this is not the case, do it and then try to reinstall.  You need to be connected by an Ethernet cable in order to re - download the driver from Windows Update.  See http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/faq/adapters/usb-adapters/how-do-i-install-my-wireless-adapter-correctly-in-windows

  

  I doubt that D-Link updated its Wireless Configuration Utility for Windows 7, but if that was the case and that you use it, disable or uninstall (check Control Panel > programs and features).

  Other than the above, I'm sorry but I'm out of ideas.

• Thunderbolt Display (27-inch) A1407 - it can connect to a Windows PC with an adapter any?

  Someone asked me to get an adapter or some sort, for plugging a Thunderbolt Display (27 in.) A1407 model in a Windows PC (which is not a port Thunderbolt - that is to say it has a VGA and DVI connector).

  Is this possible?

  TIA :-)

  You could try a mini display port to DVI as this connector

• connect older apple Airport express with ethernet cable modem? Verizon service

  I'm helping someone with a verizon DSL modem older (guess this isn't wireless vs) which connects to a tower of Windows, then usb out of the tower to a unit of wireless to connect to a recent Mac laptop version. We would like to get rid of the tower and the verizon usb "hockey puck" and simply use the modwm > wireless Airport express > laptop.

  If I get an airport express, I can show the modem directly to Airport express?

  Yes, that should be fine.

  Tell us what model is the DSL modem.

  There are two possible configurations.

  Either the type pure or bridged modem and you use customer PPPOE over the WAN to the Express.

  Or

  You have a modem router and you will implement the express bridge, with creation of a wireless network.

  HOWEVER... I'm NOT either of those without call verizon and control on the price of a new wireless adsl router modem.

  ADSL has changed little in 10 years... but the equipment does not last forever. It could just be the perfect time to move.

• Connect a HP printer wireless with a cable

  I have a HP C7280 printer all-in-one.  I use it at home with the radio.  When we go on vacation, I take my laptop and printer with me.  There is no wifi, so last year, I brought a cable to go between my laptop and the printer.   It worked fine except for scanning.  He would usually get a page or two in the scanning and then quit.   Once I got home and went wireless, it was fine.  I had used a cable of Chôum - is it possible that I need to use a specific cable that can handle scanning?

  Hello-

  Today, most of the cables are USB 2.0. It should work. I would like to know if the new cable works.

  Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  What exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Either have your tablet or laptop Win7 been updated recently? They were both able to connect before and not now OR they were never able to connect? Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?

  I am trying to sync my ipod with my windows media player and when I connect my ipod windows media play is not read. How can I sync my ipod with windows media player?

  Hello

  Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
  external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
  and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.

  I hope this helps.

• Problem with internet connection 64-bit Windows Vista, unexplained intermittent failure.

  original title: PROBLEM CONNECTING WINDOWS VISTA 64 BIT INTERNET - UNEXPLAINED INTERMITTENT OUTAGES

  On HP a6542p PC with factory installed Windows Vista (64-bit), Vista operating system program does not take account of Internet broadband, which, in reality, a good connection.  for the first 2 years of operation, the PC internet connection worked well, but a year ago, he started this OFF intermittent / WE internet problem.  SOMETIMES, I can manage to temporarily restore the internet after running randomly across the machine diagnostic & installation programs available to the home screen, OR SOMETIMES also after running REGEDIT in the start (search) bar and watching the TCP/IP settings (do not change them, just watch), but the internet connection drops again after the machine is idle for a few minutes.  I get very tired of the exercise Dog & Pony to run through the different random procedures & hoping that something will work.  I tried the fix from Microsoft using a flashdrive D/L from the Windows site to my XP machine and tried a few manual corrections proposed on various websites, but nothing seems to work.  I have no HP manufacturer disk to reload the Vista operating system.  The connection is good, the cable is good, but Vista gives me contradictory information about the diagnosis, such as ERROR 815, and he tells me also a cable is disconnected (not true, the cable is plugged & good & works very well when the Vista connection is restored), while another diagnostic message indicates the internet connection is good, at the same time other messages say is not.   What can I do to fix this problem in Vista?  Personal e-mail is: * address email is removed from the privacy * -I will check that URL of Web site for the possible answer.    Thanks in advance.

  Imrand - Thanks for the tip, I tried it & it didn't work.  However, I found an update of the HP driver for the network card Realtek in my machine, & after d/l this new driver, the problem seems to be fixed.  The Web connection is still good after several cycles of closing & reboot.  I'm not sure, because with this HP Vista PC, I can never be sure of anything, but I think the problem might be due to the rotating system off the NETWORK adapter in sleep mode, & so not put on when waking up.  Diagnostics messages confused and contradictory pages of different screen Windows were of NO use, it looks like the internet connection was good (which it was), while the other would be at the same time say there is no connection due to the disconnection of the cable, while the other at the same time say that the DNS server broadband couldn't recognize my internet query.  Total BS of Vista, which has compounded the problem than he was.  I only am not surprised Microsoft abandoned the Vista operating system so fast, so many other users of Vista have similar internet connection problems.  The user friendly and very stable XP operating system I have on an old PC of Insignia is my favorite.  Microsoft had to quit with it, IMO.

  Thanks for your help, Cimarron

• How to use windows scan with the new canon printer is connected and the copy and printing, but can't seem to be able to use the technique of scan windows

  How to use windows scan with my new canon MX 922 printer.  It is conncected and copying and printing but can't seem to use the windows scan option, the cannon that which for me is slow thanks

  All in one, type printers (print, copy, scan) usually have a very specific set of instructions during the installation.  If not followed exactly the probability is that the scanner will not work.

  Canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer

  Download and read the Setup instructions for your model, have you followed the instructions exactly, more precisely when to connect the printer / scanner during installation of the software process?
