two monitors. Icon of the secondary monitor missing in settings etc.?

Hi all
Tried to set up two monitors to operate independently on my HP PC under XP SP3. Do the normal thing - will display/settings/Advanced tab and selecting monitor gives me no indenties or options to select/set another monitor. I use two VGA ports for two monitors, but only will draw upward. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Have a GeForce GT 430 PCI express card 2.0 chart.

As the GeForce 430 has only a single VGA port, you must also use the VGA port on another device (the motherboard?).

Make sure that your BIOS is not set to disable VGA port of the motherboard when it detects another adapter to display.

Also, there is a map of multi-monitor.  You can get an adapter DVI / VGA and try plugging your second VGA screen it if you can't stop the BIOS to ignore the motherboard display adapter.  (Or just because it's an adapter better.)

The first two steps in debugging: 1) is it connected?  (2) is it turned on?

  • Icons in the task bar missing her.

    Recently, for the control of volume and network icons disappear from my taskbar. I can't find anyway to get back them. Any help would be appreciated.

    The notification area is a part of the taskbar that provides a temporary source for notifications and status. It can also be used to display icons for system and program features that have no presence on the desktop.

    Items in the notification area are called the notification area icons, or just theicons if the context of the notification area is already clearly established.

  • Duplication of Firefox icons on the Windows 7 taskbar

    Citing the Forum Windows 7: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/256708-duplicating-icons-taskbar.html

    Hello

    I searched high and low for a way to do this, but I can't seem to find anything. First of all, I don't want to install or download any program whatsoever. I want to do with what I have, aka Windows 7.

    Let's say I have 2 or more profiles Firefox. I want to open them in separate windows. This is done easily with - no.-remote, correct? Well, if I want to open them in two different icons on the taskbar?

    Currently, I open both profiles, but they will be grouped in the Firefox icon. I don't want them be grouped. I could customize my taskbar and choose something other than "always combine, skin tags. Unfortunately, I don't want labels. And I want every other icon to combine. It's only the different profiles in Firefox I want to separate.

    Is this possible?

    Moderator sets the broken URL

    You can try to do a copy renamed only the firefox.exe file in the current Firefox program folder to see if it works.

    If this does not work, you can try to copy the whole Firefox program folder to another folder (Mozilla Firefox2) to see if that works (may as well fail because the firefox2.exe program will still report as the same application in the Windows OS) and firefox.exe program is only a draft that checks if other Firefox programs are already running without a - no.-remote switch and load the real application if necessary.

    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?

  • Safari opens on the secondary monitor

    I have two monitors 27 "and Safari insists on opening on the secondary monitor, no matter what I do. All this experience and have you been able to solve it?

    Whenever it happened, it was because I dragged a window or a tab there.  At one point, I closed Safari.  Then when I opened it again, he would open the 2nd monitor.

    What I did:

    When Safari opens on the screen 'wrong', enter a tab open and drag it to the other monitor, then let go.  You should have Safari open on both monitors.  You must also have a menu bar of Safari on both monitors.  Open the window on the monitor that you don't want Safari to open with.  The Menu, file, close this window (command-W).  You should now have that a single Safari window open on the monitor of your choice.  Go menu, Safari, quit Safari.  Then try to reopen the Safari.  It should open on the screen of your choice.

    I can't find a setting for the default screen for Safari.

    If this happens again, make sure the last window you are closing is on the screen of your choice.

    I hope this helps!  Let us know...

  • Win runing XP two monitors in DualView mode and not remembering the last size and location of the records? How to solve this problem?

    I am running WinXP SP3 with two monitors running in DualView Mode and everything worked as expected until I installed the latest NViDIA drivers.

    After the update of the pilot, all windows and folders open centered on the main display and all pop-up windows from any open window, centered on the secondary display.

    Any changes to the size and the location of the windows and/or files is not saved.

    I searched the Internet for solutions and found nothing.  I tried Microsoft FixIt to the more obvious (said) problem similar to mine and it did not fix the problem.

    I finish the registery fix suggested and it fixed the problem.
