Two monitors, prompting connected and trying to get to work
My friend and I try to connect two monitors on his desk and we have the computer connected properly, but the screen is not any kind of signal to the computer (it won't turn on, just has a black screen or say in power saving mode). The main monitor works (of course, as l write this) it connects to the NVIDIA DVI (a video card installed) card, and the second monitor is a VGA. The second monitor we want to plug that we want to use on the OLD card came with the computer video, and we have the ports for it. However we are unable to operate, and it is quite frustrating. We have tried to update the software, but we think he may have disabled the second video card without meaning to, and we know many things at this point:
1 can I use two monitors to two different computers and use them to do different things (for example use it to surf the two different sites with two different keyboards/mouse, or play two different games (our intention is to play WoW the computer off) in this way)?
1a. If Yes, can someone please a link to a site that would be easier to read and understand? (We were already posted some, but they are confused or just say the same things and do not work)
2. how to reactivate the video card should it be disabled? Once again, the simple steps please.
3. can we use two separate video cards to run two different items on the computer, or would both forced to run out of the video one card?
3. If so, is there someone who can explain how to bind a monitor with a video card and not the other?
Hi warpedchocobo,
Windows detects and identifies each monitor and projector that you connect, and applies the video settings that are best suited to each display. When you connect an additional monitor for the first time, you can choose how you want your desktop to appear on the screen. In addition, Windows collects information about the video capabilities of the additional screen, including the size of the screen, the screen resolution and the color depth.
On Windows Vista, older XPDM drivers still work and the behavior of multi-monitor with XPDM drivers has not changed, because the operating system uses the existing graphics stack.
However, the Display Driver Model WDDM (Windows Vista) brings fundamental changes to the management of several graphics cards and external displays. This includes a new restriction, because WDDM drivers do not support multi-monitor «multicard and heterogeneous» implementations

You can always access your site Via the development that will be...

You can also go to the site of catalyst for business and the connection via here.
Check the details of your domain, make sure you have indicated either the A records or for good BC NS records in your domain that hosts the installation program as well. If it's a .com address, it may take up to 24 hours for your domain "spread."

I use two monitors when editing and in the past, I could edit in Lightroom on the left monitor and do other things on the right (ie. by email, netflix etc...) He wants to now that Lightroom allows you to show me a preview of some photo I'm working on my right monitor. I can't replace it and turn off Preview. Is it something within the program or I have to change something in my control panel? Help!

Can you please check the WLan module details in Device Manager?
Information (name, State) is important get the driver of Toshiba driver page.I guess you only a problem with the WiFi connection and by using the LAN connection, you are able to access the internet. Is this correct?
I guess that there is a conflict between the WLan standards or WLan encryption.
In General, the WLan router and the module/Wlan card must be on the same WiFi 802.11 standard (ie: A, B, G, N).You must also make sure that the encryption (WPA/WPA2 AES, TKIP) is supported by the wireless network adapter.
Sometimes, this can cause problems...If you wish, you can disable (but only for testing) WLan encryption and could try to connect the laptop to 'open' LAN wireless... it would help allows you to check if the current encryption creates some problems.

Remote - two monitors desktop connection
I try to use my two monitors with remote desktop connection. I see the option under settings "to use all of my monitors with remote connection" but even when verified that it does not work. How can I set up?
I use windows 8, windows 8.1 do I need?
There are a few conditions to use the split on multiple monitors. Namely, both monitors must be exactly the same size and shape and must be positioned to form a perfect rectangle.
Even 1 pixel difference means you cannot extend your remote desktop on them.

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, SP1
I tried to reset Firefox & have tried to reinstall it. Neither made any difference.
It does not matter what type of file I download.
Once I downloaded all the files, I am unable to connect to other sites, get an error indicating that the site is not found.
I get the same effect if I try to use a bookmark, or if I type in the URL.Try below.
- In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
- Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
- Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
- Then, try to download something and see if it still has problems.

Qosmio G30 - 126 monitor become black and FN buttons do not work
Hello
I have small problem, ehm two problems, but may be small for you :)
Last week, I install Vista ultimate WITHOUT RECOVERY CD...
It's OK, but I close the cover of the book and instantly open, monitor become black and I can't do anything without restarting.
In the Panel in feeding opportunities, bookmark 'options to close the cushion' does not work.Maybe it's by, because I'm not driver if exists
And second problem may be linked with the first, but it is a mistake, because I was not discover drivers because I haven't hidden toolbar on the back Windows, where standartly is on-site.
I don't work much hidden functions under the FN key (I think that FN + F2, F3...) F12) most keys be the side POWER without multimedia keys on the music...
Thx for the help!

Hi Martin
First of all it s interesting if you have downloaded and installed all the Toshiba Vista drivers that are published on the European driver Toshiba page?
All drivers must be installed in the correct order!If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30 - 126 belongs to the series of PQG32E. It was delivered with HD DVD player, and therefore, you should choose the drivers for the Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!
Please first check the file txt Instructions of Installation, and then install all the drivers as mentioned in this document.
With regard to the issue of the display;
You need to install the correct driver NVIDIA of the Toshiba page!The keys FN and control buttons don t work because the Vista Toshiba value added Package has not been installed. This package contains applications that are needed to get all the features of Toshiba running!
Good luck

I found some archived topics for this particular problem and I have tried everything that has been recommended, but nothing has worked. I made sure several times all add-ons are disabled, tried in safe mode, etc. and I get these popups all over even my e-mail sites. A thread has mentioned something in your control panel, but then goes no further. Should I get something in my control panel?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If a single
