Try to get the split screen set up.

Is there a way I can get the screen on my computer with windows 7? Two different applications going at the same time?

Hi SuzyQ87,

I'm not sure I quite understand your request...

Assuming that you do not want to have two windows application tiled on your screen, so that each occupies half of the screen, one on the left and one on the right, you can use the new feature in Windows 7 Aero Snap (Docking).

1. open the first application.

2. to ensure that it is not maximized.  It is considered to be maximized if the application takes up the entire screen and you can't see any part of the office.  If it IS a maximized, click the Center button (square, blue highlight) in the upper right window of the application.  It will grow smaller and you will be able to see the desktop around it.

3. now, move your mouse to the top of the window title bar, click the mouse and drag the window to the left edge of the screen.  Keep, drag until the mouse reaches the edge and see you the outline of the window to jump to the center of the screen.  Let the mouse upwards.  The application will now sized to fill in only half of the screen.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the second request.

5 drag, as in step 3, but this time to the right of the screen.

Voila, two windows tiled side by side on your screen.  You can drag the edge again and they return to their original shape and their size.

FYI, the Aero Snap setting must be enabled (which is the default) so that the above to work:

    I don't know how I did it, but now when I go to drag a web page below on the right scroll bar another mini bar appears. If I accidentally hit that all of a sudden I have two pages to the top at the same time and I can't get back to where I was without closing the page entirely.

  • My system crashed and now I just get the blue screen that says to reinstall windows, when I try to use my recovery disks that it won't work.

    Is there anywhere to get a new copy of the system recovery disc for my windows vista computer.  I have a HP Pavillion and I get not anywhere when trying to start repair, it tries to fix my computer and takes forever... and then I get the blue screen saying I need to reload windows.  The recovery discs that I burned when I bought the computer do not work.  What are my options?

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    With HP normally press you F11 at startup to start the process of recovery from the recovery partition

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • When I try to open the keyboard screen, I get the prompt and click to connect, but it does not connect.

    OT: On the keyboard interface.

    When I try to open the keyboard screen, I get the prompt and click to connect, but it does not connect. My hard keyboard is dysfunctional and now I can't type my password to connect. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks for any help.

    There is a problem with the KB3004394 update that causes what you see as well as other issues.

    Uninstall this update, your system should return to normal.

    While in Windows Update, select View Update History then installed updates. Go to the bottom of the list to KB3004394, right-click on it and choose uninstall.

    Microsoft has removed the update of the distribution.

    I would try to borrow a keyboard if you can so that you can perform the uninstall.

  • Will set up the HP Photosmart 7510 new iMac OSX 10.7.3; Cannot get the home screen appears.

    Instead of the home screen, I get an error message ' no connection: your printer is not connected to a network. " If please connect to a network and try again. "I downloaded the software and latest drivers; my iMac recognizes the new HP printer.  But I must still be able to get the home screen to display on the printer so that I can do the basic settings.  I did the simple troubleshooting suggestions (for example, for printer disconnected from the socket wall and then plugged in;) I restarted the iMac; I uninstalled the software and drivers and reinstalled)... but no change, cannot get the home screen appears.

    The printer turned on, unplug the power to the back of the printer (not the wall) for 30 seconds.

    If this does not work, it seems that your printer is maybe defective.  Here's how to contact HP technical support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on printers & monitors, there is a phone number on the resulting page).

    I guess you have a problem with
    your video driver. You may want to update or
    It may have been a version that your
    hardware has problems with.

    Do a restore of the system in Mode safe for a time
    before the problem started, may be worth a try.
