Turn off display when you use the external monitor R61?

Hello

I have a ThinkPad R61, which I use with an external monitor.  Somehow, I had in place for months with the laptop out of the screen and the monitor on.  I've used today at a meeting to feed a projector, selected somehow dieting Fn F7 of presentation such as the screen and the projector are-as I wanted - then home, re-installed with my external monitor and cannot find out how to turn off the display on the laptop.  The selections under Fn F7 do not allow this combination.  I tried the trick you offered, Fn F3 to turn off the display, but it turned out the two views.  (Now, how can I reverse this setting?)

It sounds like a requirement of switching every day, but I can't find a clue in aid of ThinkVantage, manual mini, on the website, etc.  Thank you

WaynO salvation,

After pressing Fn + F7, click on manage plans... to open the Director presentation window. Then click the new... button. You should be able to put in place a system to only display on the external monitor. After setting up, make sure to check the box in the column Menu Fn + F7 to have your new schema appears in the menu when you press Fn + F7.

  • Unable to get the maximum screen resolution when you use the external monitor

    Hello

    I use Windows 8 on laptop ASUS K55A. I use an external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2233BW). Everything works fine except that I do not get the maximum resolution on the external display. The only way I see a sort of an overview of the good resolution is when I choose "extend these screens", but it's very uncomfortable when there's always one screen, I don't actually see.
    How can I increase the resolution of the screen on the external screen? (now, it's on 'show desktop only on 2')
    Thank you!

  • How auto turn off the screen of the laptop when you use the external monitor?

    I don't wan turn on laptop screen and my external monitor at the same time. So is it possible to do automatic screen of my laptop to turn off as soon as I plug my external monitor to my laptop vga cable (without pressing Fn + F2 keys)?

    Please help me.

    Thank you.

    I don't know if it's possible, but you could try to go into display settings and set an external because it is main if possible display and then disable the laptop with Fn + F2 but idk if it will remain inactive if you portable computer power, then on again :/

    Update: how to do this, right-click on the screen area and select the screen resolution while having the connected external display then of you will find a drop down a 3rd or a 4th do not remember but inside, you'll find stuff like show desktop on the screen 1 or 2 to find out what your external display screen number is and apply it to this form then computer laptop screen should turn black as it is turned off and you will see desktop area is on external display so I hope that this has resolved your request.

  • Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

    I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

    After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

    Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

    I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.

    Hello j.d.1882,

    1. you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card?

    I suggest that you update the drivers for the graphics card and check if the computer continues to crash.

    In addition, I suggest that you download the dump files to check exactly what may cause the problem.

    Athttp://skydrive.live.com using your Live ID and I will check:

    a. Click Start, select run, type '% SystemRoot%\Minidump' (without the quotes) in the search box and press ENTER.

    b go to your desktop, right-click on it and create a new folder named "Dump".

    c. copy all the files in memory dump (it looks like Mini092003 - 01.DMP) in Minidump in this folder.

    d. right click on the folder of the image, click on "send to" and click on "compressed file (zipped).

    e. Please download the ZIP file.

  • Lightroom spoil the photos when you use the external editor

    Hello world

    When I export images to an external editor, Lightroom moves the image and the copy of it at the end of the stack. This is a new phenomenon, generally the image remains in place and the copy is simply attached to it (chronological order). I use Lightroom 5.7, external editors are PSE 14 and affinity Photo. Problem with the two editors as well. No recent update, no change in the settings. Can you help me?

    Thank you!

  • Lightroom CC crashes when you use the second monitor

    I use Lightroom CC on a core 6 2010 Mac Pro with 24 GB of RAM and the application running on an SSD with OS10.9.5.

    Until the other day, I've been using Lightroom 5.7.

    I have two NEC 24 "monitors connected to my computer.

    I paid about $1,000 for each, and I was happy with their color rendering and performance.

    In the last two weeks, I had repeatedly when Lightroom stops working.

    Usually after using edit in Photoshop command, or creating a web gallery, once the order has been issued, LR will go to one screen and frozen at this time, most of the controls does not work. Then I have to select exit from the menu and reopen the application. Needless to say it's a lousy way to work.

    Tonight, I discovered that if I run Lightroom on a monitor, the gel that happens after having a web gallery, or help edit in Photoshop, does not happen. However, if I start with just one monitor, use edit in Photoshop, then click to use my second monitor, then frost.

    Having 2 monitors is very useful, so having to limit myself to 1 monitor is pretty disappointing, not to mention a waste of investment.

    I've been using Lightroom 5 long on this system without these problems.

    I installed Lightroom CC as a way to solve my problem.

    But there is the same problem with it.

    I thought about updating the operating system to 10.11, but I expect to do.

    I've read of people having problems with OS 10.11 (El Capitan), and I need to upgrade backup software, if I switch to 10.11.

    It seems to me that there may be some type of bug or problem with Lightroom and the Mac OS when it comes to use 2 monitors.

    Everyone knows this freeze or lock up Lightroom?

    Has anyone else had him freezes related to the use of two monitors?

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    A Mac savvy friend suggested that I create a new user account to see if the problem of gel with the second monitor would also with a new user account.

    I created a new user account, and Lightroom works fine.

    Then, I had to migrate all the settings for the various programs to the new user.

    I also decided to improve the operating system of 10.9 Mavericks at El Captian, 10.11.

    I also changed 5.7 Lightroom at Lightroom CC 2015.

    All these computing has taken a lot of time, but now everything works fine.

    When you use the marquee selection tool, a little black box appears next to the cursor and displays in real time, the height and the width of the selection.  The same annoying box also appears when you drag an item with the tool move, displaying the numeric position of the cursor.  Is there anyway to disable the display of this little black box?  It makes me crazy.
