• Two monitors: right of the title bar part cannot be moved

  Hi Ho

  When I use two monitors in landscape mode (monitor extends the desktop of the screen from left to right), a part of the title bar of the program and windows Explorer is not responding. This does not happen when I use a single monitor. Since I use windows explore pillar-shaped, it is quite annoying, because I need to aim the small area that is still sensitive to drag a window exactly.

  The area on which is the upper right, just next door to reduce, enlarge, close buttons. Note that the thin strip under these buttons is responive above the entire title bar. Here is a picture of clarification:

  http://S27.postimg.org/kvhswknoz/windows_title_bar.jpg

  I've marked the sensitive area with the blue wire, the area on which the red. My windows are much thinner. The area on which remains the same size, regardless of the width of the window.

  I use Windows 7 pro, with almost the latest updates.  My left monitor is plugged as number 2, but is set as the main monitor. This is why the task bar on the left monitor.

  OK, I found the culprit.

  Is AMD Hydravision (the title of the Startup items) that is causing the problem. But I had to disable the Catalsyst control center as well, because this would reactivate Hydravision automatically during startup.

  Thank you, Sandy, for your help.

  To resolve the problem, run msconfig, activate the Startup tab and disable the AMD Hydravision and Catalyst Control Center.

• Height of the monitor does not bar tasks

  I am currently implementing a window full screen (such as viewing a PowerPoint slideshow).  I need the actual height of the resolution of the screen that the taskbar is present, visible, shown on the right edge up/down/left, etc.  My program allows the user to drag the window to any monitor before calling mode full screen, so I need the screen resolution that my main table sits on.  I can get the ID of the main panel monitor and use GetMonitorAttribute to return the height and width, but this function will return the 'doable' screen size that does not include the taskbar.

  Is there a way to get the actual resolution of a particular monitor?  If not, is there a way to determine if the task bar is visible, which monitors them it is, and how big it is?

  Aewsome!  It should work perfectly, thanks!

  The taskbar is resizable, like a window. Place the cursor on the edge and stir slightly to make it turn into a two-headed arrow. Click on, and then drag it to the desired size.

  If it does not resize, it can be locked. In this case, do a right click on it and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

  Also note that if you have toolbars in the taskbar on multiple lines, you will not be able to reduce the size of task bar less than the number of lines. First, put all the toolbars on one line.

  If you're still having problems, read the following from the ex - MVP Malke: "what is happening is that the end of 'margin' of the Quick Launch toolbar has got more to the right that it's now down below." Unlock the taskbar and then to 'capture' the dotted line on the lower bar (it will be a solid line if you use the classic style) and drag it up to immediately to the right of QuickLaunch icons. Now you have managed to make the shorter Quick Launch toolbar and can 'capture' the bar at the top of the taskbar and "push" down to the height of a regular level. »

• The task bar has two control panel icons

  The task bar has two icons in Control Panel. When I added my office to the two taskbar Control Panel icons apperded. (I have the taskbar right-click, then toolbars and selected Desktop). I can delete the second icon in Control Panel, but it returns to the restart. I found as subjects during a Google search. Someone else has the same double icons? Is there a fix to Windows? I am running Windows 7 on the new system.

  That did not work.

  It does not - it did for me when I go from 7 to 8 and then 8 to 8.1

  You MUST delete a registry key.

  Create a file "deleteCPIcon.reg" with:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00  [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}]

  a. in the settings of the display properties dialog box tab, click on identify to display a large number on each of your monitors. This shows which monitor corresponds with each icon.

  b. click the monitor icons and drag them to positions that represent how you want to move items from one monitor to the other, and then click OK or on apply.

• G42-415DX: difficulties with Win7 not recognizing correctly the two monitors

  Prior to my recent relocation, I used a 2nd monitor with my laptop, where my 32 '' has the main screen, but the screen of the 14 "laptop would show other programs instituted for example PDF file. It was easy to make this configuration and I loved this multitasking.

  After a recent relocation and update the map AMD Win7 I appreciate the high resolution display on the screen of the laptop, but I am not able to repeat the simplicity with which I've done it before.

  The 2nd monitor is connected through a HDMI cable. Whether with the extend in double bill or, if I use the laptop as the main screen, office shows the program and the taskbar icons, but when I change the main view for the 2nd monitor, disappears from the task bar and the icons of the programs even beyond the screen. When the screen resolution is clcked on the desktop, both monitors display side by side, but 1 monitor is format 6 x 9 32 "with the correct name and resolution, then it should be 14" 4 x 3 laptop. 'Detect' & 'Confirm' to be 1 & 2 also shows, but the sizes are the opposite.

  I rebooted without the 2nd monitor attached and as expected, it would have it, it displays the screen of the laptop in its format 4 x 3. At the level of the office, now fix the 2nd 32 "6 x 9 (widescreen), makes the 'screen resolution' show that they are returned in size, but the correct resolution.

  All this seems to have been to update the map of the ATI AMD M880G

  I'd like the ability to use a 2nd monitor

  Any help. I would be very happy

  As suggested, I've updated graphics drivers with the latest on the HP website. My fear, after the previous update disheveled my universal Bus controllers, was unfounded.

  Whalla, everything goes well and as shown on one of your previous answers, I have managed to place a monitor (or side) above the other and Institute (under Extended display), the use of two monitors. It's exactly what I wanted.

  Thank you for your insurance.

• Some subtle problems with two monitors on Windows 7

  I used two monitors with your Windows 7 Desktop for quite awhile and I just had to replace a.  This is a problem which is probably easy to fix, but I don't know how to do it.

  I figured out which monitor, I wanted to just in front of the keyboard (the larger one) and that I wanted on my right.  The new is more.  They both work very well, but there are two problems:

  1. the office and the taskbar are in the older monitor to the right - I do not know how to move.

  2. the mouse is confused.  He considers that the monitors are in the reverse position.  In other words, when the mouse is moved on the screen to the right, I have to move it OFF THE RIGHT EDGE OF the SCREEN to enter the screen on the left.  I know that I can get used to this, but I'd rather not have to.

  Thanks in advance.

  Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and choose "Screen Resolution."

  (or Panel of-> screen-> the resolution).

  Above under 'Change the appearance of your screens', you should see two icons of the screen display.  Simply slide one on the right to the left of the icon on the left (so that they switch positions). Then press "OK" your way out.

  To select the screen that contains the task bar, select the icon for this monitor in the same screen as above and a small box should appear below the "Multiple displays" line that says 'Make this my primary monitor '.  Just check this box and OK your way out.

• I have two monitors and Firefox will not come on the screen.

  When I try to open Firefox it will not load on each screen. Looks like he's trying to go to the secondary screen, but is not visible. The OS is Windows 7 Home first Service Pack 1. Firefox version 37.0.1
  Thanks for your help.

  You get a sticker or other indication on the Windows task bar that there is a window of Firefox "somewhere", but it is not visible anywhere?

  If there is a tile (or a title of the window above the Firefox button in the task bar):

  The Firefox window sometimes opens off screen. If you have a multiple monitor configuration, make sure that both monitors are on. Other users have reported that sometimes Firefox acts strangely while the second monitor is turned off. You mentioned that both monitors are on in your case.

  In all other cases: you can often force the Firefox window is displayed on the screen by double clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or search from the start menu (bar (or, in Windows 8 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder):

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  Do you mean that you need to know how to resize the Windows taskbar?

  Basically you make sure it is unlocked and you put your pointer just in the right place, simply click + hold, drag to resize and release when finished.

• When you use two monitors Media Player will not playback on screen #2 video (not a problem with the monitor #1).

  I'm sorry for the long post, but this is the type of problem that is easy to explain in person but if transported by writing it might take a little longer for the sake of the definition. Please read on without fear because this problem is not as complicated as you might think, I hope.

  I use two (2) screens of computers with the same system but why Media Player does not work on a single monitor and not the other monitor?

  I use two monitors with my PC thanks to the CLONE function and things last a lot. #1 monitor is a computer 19 "monitor. Monitor #2 is at the end of the piece. VIZIO, the manufacturer, markets a monitor #2 as a computer screen, nope, it's a 47 '' Vizio HDTV that I use as a computer screen. I use the installation without any problems for over a year now until yesterday. The problem: now, when I use two monitors to play a video, the sound will play but not the video. What I see is a black screen empty. This negative situation applies to only monitor the #2 and does NOT monitor #1.

  > very important Please note... when I have both monitors running and I play a video that you can actually see the video play on the #1, the 19-inch video monitor! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the video player when it runs on the small computer screen 19 inch. But when you turn your head to look through the living room where I Monitor #2 placed you won't see the video running on #1 monitor as you normally would before that dysfunction appeared. (No, instead of this you will see the Windows Media Player (or Nero or RealPlayer) readers 'playing' a black screen blank even if 1) both monitors are indeed cloned and 2) video plays without any problem on monitor # 1. Monitor #2 with media work (sort of) because the volume level is adjustable, and you can see the bar jump up and down and all around media player progression but the problem is that there is simply no video when you try watching the video on a monitor #2.

  > except to play videos through a Player multimedia, I can use my Vizio TV as a monitor for what is related to the computer, there is no another negative question. I can surf the web, edit videos, etc. When I run a video from Youtube to my computer the monitor #2 TV Vizio, the Youtube video plays well. Ditto for Netflix, no complaints there. In fact, I just typed this post on and displayed using Monitor #2... But if I want to watch a video that I saved in a folder XP then the only option is to use the #1 monitor.

  Thanks in advance for your help :)

• Two monitors / installation of a second display driver

  Hello

  I'm not able to get my two monitors running. I just performed a new installation; These monitors were fine with my other drive hard and windows.

  I checked my display drivers in Device Manager and there is only one pilot listed under display cards

  ATI Radeon HD 3800 series

  I know it is supposed to be two of these listed, but there is not... Windows does not detect my secondary monitor... two of these monitors are the same and both connected by a DVI input on the graphics card.

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times with no progress.

  I have excluded sons and defective connectors by switching autour and he always seems to be the same screen that works on its own...

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Arthur

  Good so I solved the problem...

  Apparently, all I had to do was the eve of my machine and cut off from all power using the power bar for a few seconds until all residual power is gone, turn back on my machine and Voila!

• Pass simple - how to remove the conservation task bar it turned on?

  Hello

  I own a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea and I had a few problems with simple pass.  Before I installed it and it stuck on the taskbar in Windows 8.  Someone gave me a new update of the driver that has removed from the bar spots.

  For some time he acted a little (my fingerprint reader would take several swipes before he woke up) and I have installed the latest version of the driver HPLite32_build_6.0.100.252.  It is not like I plan to work.

  Anyway, he's back in the task bar and I would like to remove it.  Also the fingerprint reader is off most of the time and allows quick access very slow.  How can I solve these two problems?

  The question might be one driver / software incompatibility.  In the past, when this happened, the software would simply "does not work".   I don't know where you came, that is the value which SimplePass version you were before and what validity driver version you have - the fact is that in this most recent version, there may be an error of "lesser" tangle, but not to destroy the facility.  ???

  For Windows 8

  sp58900 validity sensor V4.4.234.0 Win8

  sp58540 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.244 Win7-8

  The above is an example of the 'Windows 8' and configured software SimplePass pilot that is currently in use on a large number of mobile phones.  Note the version number similar to the SimplePass to your own version.

  If your driver version of validity is late, in other words, if the driver that you have on your computer is OLDER one pictured here, then I suggest you download and update this driver (as shown).  You are likely to have a better "match".

  Next: It is highly unlikely, but you can also check to make sure that you have not inadvertently your driver to "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  Of your Deskop:

  Control Panel > display icon > device management > biometric devices >

  Validity Sensor right click > Properties >

  Power management > make sure the box "allow the computer to turn off device" is DISABLED

   

  
  When you make changes to SimplePass, expect not to complain (work stoppage).  When you look at it, not expect to stop working...

  General rules for success:

  • Installing the driver FIRST, RESTART
  • Install / repair software second, setting up the bases... Reset.

  ======================================================================================

  First of all, before EVERYTHING CHANGES, make a copy of your Webcards.  The Webcards are similar to your 'Favorites' for your websites with passwords SimplePass attached.  You should make periodic backups and always before making changes or try to repair the SimplePass software.

  Export the Webcard database:

  If you have working software SimplePass, export your Webcards before proceeding.  In the case where you must remove the SimplePass software, your webcard backup can be used (imported) to restore your Web site login information.

  Start SimplePass > settings > Export

   

  NOTE: File will be called *.tsd

   

  Don't forget to perform backups periodicals webcard when you change passwords and / or add Web sites!

  =======================================================================================

  To reset / repair software without deleting:

  Fix SImplePass software:

  Control Panel > programs and features >

  Looking for this program:

  Click on HP SimplePass
  Select "repair".

  • After "fix it", RESTART / REBOOT your computer

  ===================================================================================

  Remove it from the taskbar in Windows 8:

  • You should be able to go to the new startup window,
  • find the tile for SimplePass, right click on it,
  • and then pull it out of the new taskbar.

  If it is stuck, it can take a bit more work... the 'repair' above for the progam can help - try it if the simple "right click and delete" does not get this out of the way.

  I hope this helps!

• The defect problem/task bar

  

  I was an IT Help Desk for many years and know my way around a computer, generally speaking. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite running Vista.

  W Hat has happened, is that my taskbar is bigger that we shouldn't. Normally the task bars are fixed at about 1/4 inch in height, but mine is a good half inch. I can do more great by dragging the double arrow, but this method does not work to do if the shorter.  When I select "auto hide", it will disappear, but he returned to the screen in a minute or two. I then have to click again Autohide taskbar because it won't hide automatically. I ran the system through antivirus programs, etc. and they are unable to find problems with regard to the task bar-.

  Please help because it's maddening positively. I'm afraid I can inadvertently channelling the infamous Mr. Hyde if this continues.

  -Steve Da Maori

  Try right click on the taskbar, pointing to "Toolbars" and then removing all the.  After all is removed, try to resize and see if she reacts appropriately today. If so, you can add then to return the toolbars you had.

• Latitude E7450 processor and controller, E - 2, unstable configuration port of the U2715H - two monitors-

  I have two monitors U2715H connected via a CDM-> DP cable each to a docking station E-Port Plus (in fact an Advanced Port Replicator EURO2) in which sits a laptop Latitude E7450 processor and controller. All items are brand new. E7450 processor and controller is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and two graphics cards: Intel HD 5500 Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce 840 M; selection is automatic, which usually means that the 5500 is running. It runs Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit). The docking station has apparently DP 1.2 a capacity (for chaining) but DP 1.2 is disabled in both monitors.

  I have correctly configured the system to have Windows desktop space both monitors at 2560 x 1440 resolution, even with screen internal latitude as a third request for an extension to its full resolution (1920 x 1080). The main screen can be set to one of the two (or three) and I can successfully move the sequence of monitors around (left, middle, right).

  There is therefore no doubt about the ability of the system to support the planned configuration. However, when I dock the Latitude (most with the lid closed) and start, most of the time he is unable to restore the configuration of the two external monitors. Some of the symptoms are: one or two monitors go black, indicating the cable connected but no signal from the docking station. If there is a picture on one of the monitors at startup, it may or may not contain the login screen. (I can still log in because I know which keystrokes to send.) If the login screen is visible, it is usually in low resolution. If I have several active screens, but one is black, I can move the mouse pointer (or an entire window) on the screen black (in the middle or on the side), but it is not visible here.

  Both monitors come right out of the box and the only change I made is to move from the DP to the mDP as input channel. I reinstalled the cables and exchanged the cables between the two DPs on the docking station. I turned the market monitors. I ran the self-test the requirements on both monitors. The connection of the laptop on the docking station is a little wobbly, but I use the spacer provided for the E7450 processor and controller and making sure the connection is correct and stable. I've updated all the drivers and BIOS of processors E7450 and controller. I recently saw a reference to a BIOS for the docking station; I didn't know it existed, but I'm not.

  The installation instructions provided with the monitors were a note on consulting the CD provided for the use of the screen to maximum resolution. E7450 processor and controller is not an optical drive, but I read all of the documentation for the monitor to Support technical without finding what whatsoever to shed light on the situation (in addition to ensure that the graphics card and drivers are up to the task).

  Once I connected, I can manage to make it all in order by randomly (?) lower the resolution of the screen, change the position of the main screen (left-center-right), deselection reselection CDM as entry way and forcing other changes. Once the two or all three screens in operation, I can put them all to maximum resolution and beginning of work. However, it is rather annoying and I would like to have a stable configuration.

  The configuration seems to survive power cycling of the laptop / station but not if I also disconnect the laptop. I should mention that when I detach the E7450 processor and controller, I can use it in other configurations, with or without other external monitors through other ports, before turning it off and later re - anchor as described. However, for the first month I had two old non-moniteurs Dell of any resolution (on DVI and VGA ports) connected to the docking station and the configuration is stable, and for years I used for my older Latitude with a docking station that is older, remembering his device between different hardware configurations.

  Please, someone - and Dell support staff in particular?
