• HP ENVY laptop - 15-ae178ca: Second monitor stopped working after the automatic update of HP

  I use my laptop with a second monitor (HP Pavillion 22xw) connected by HDMI. It was working fine until yesterday (including yesterday it worked), when a message from automatic upgrade HP was shown to informing him that the system needs to be restarted. After that, my second monitor stopped working. The system will not identify it more. I tried another cable, I rebooted several times, I tried to update the specific Intel graphics driver, I tried to uninstall and install manually another (I can't get this one done, because when I run manually downloaded driver there is a message saying that I need to contact the manufacturer). Please notify that I need my second monitor is fully functional!

• HP G60-549DX: use Smart TV as a Second monitor wireless

  Help a friend tries to use Smart TV as a second monitor.  Laptop can't find the TV - both are saved on the network wireless with MAC addresses.  I downloaded and installed the 5 recommended on the site of HP - drivers did not help.  Is it possible to do what the laptop is configured now?  If this isn't the case, upgrading Windows 10 would do the trick?

  Some SMART TVs equipped of a receiver widi or miracast built in. My LG does, for example. Upgrade to Windows 10 fair changes how you set up the cast he adds the capabilities of the wireless card. I note the laptop listed in your message seems to have a dual processor Pentium and I thought excluded Intel WiDi. If I understand correctly, you have sunk your laptop but have never been able to cast of older HP laptop of your friend. Chances are that this laptop is not capable of casting.

  There are inexpensive options of google (Chromecast) and amazon for wireless dongles that plug into the TVs HDMI port and can accept the casting of any wireless device.

• Use the TV as a second monitor wireless

  I have Window vista premimum can set up a wireless connection between my computer and the television, I want to be able to use the TV as a second monitor or to be able to look at what's on TV on my computer and visa versa?

  Hello

  (1) your subject line has nothing to do with your question. If you have the glass effects, then Aero is running. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-Windows-Aero

  (2) you cannot configure a wireless connection to your TV as a monitor, it must be physically connected to an external monitor to your computer connection.

  (3) you can't watch TV on your computer unless you have the correct tuner added on or integrated to the system card.

  Please try to limit your problems to one topic per message with the subject that corresponds to the question. Different users with different types of expertise can then address all your problems.

• Pull down menus, including bookmarks, become invisible when you use with firefox on a second monitor.

  All the drop down menus, including bookmarks, cut & paste and main menu of Firefox button, make invisible most of the time all in assets and using Firefox on my second monitor. It works normally on my primary monitor. The menus go invisible and any passage of the mouse to select an entry, they become visible for a split second and then distributed invisible. This makes it needless to say, by selecting the correct menu very difficult entry. It started to happening after the passage from Win XP to Win 7 with Firefox 5 and now still comes with 6. I have also put Firefox on my second monitor (Win 7) at home with no problems (version 5).

• Using an iMac 2011 a second monitor for 5 k imac

  I have an iMac mid 2011 and an end 2015 k5 iMac.

  I know the 5 k cannot be used as an external display, but could I use it as the host machine and the iMac 2011 medium as the display.

  I tried with a thunderbolt and command F2 and fn-F2 control cable, but nothing works.

  Any help or advice appreciated.

  I don't think that target display mode works both ways with an iMac k 5.

• Is satellite L350-170 - possible to use the laptop as external monitor

  Ok... So I broke the other day to the top of my screen on my laptop, and was amazing, if it is possible to use another laptop as an external monitor.

  while I put my files on an external hard drive

  or isit only possible connection to the pc?

  Hello

  It would be possible to use the second laptop as an external display ONLY if the computer a laptop would support the video port line-in to the receipt of the video signal.

  But the most common books supports the only video out s-Video port or a vga port, and in this case, you will not be able to use the laptop as a second monitor external.

  For example, the Satellite L350-170 supports only the RGB port that allow you to connect this laptop to external monitor but you can not use this laptop as compensation for external monitor.

• HP 15-ac098tu: how to share the screen of the laptop as a dual monitor?

  Hi guys,.

  I was wondering if it is possible to share the screens of the two laptops that I, as a laptop as main screen and the screen on the other laptop as a second monitor? But everything wireless since don't have a cable VGA or HDMI cable with me at the moment. The two laptops are running on Windows 7 pro OS. One is 32-bit and the other a 64-bit. If possible could someone here tell me how to get there?

  VOID:

  (1) need to use monitors of the laptop at hand, Wireless.

  2) are two laptops running on Windows 7 OS.

  Thank you

  OK, the only way to make it wireless is having a "Server and a client host" of course. Now I did not understand how sharing the screen, but basically what I wanted to do is use the same keyboard and mouse for two laptops. It's easier this way than to have to switch the keyboard and the mouse of the two laptops if you're working on laptops at the side.

  Solution:

  (1) install synergy in both computers laptops regardless of type of OS or version and set it up.

  (2) in this way I can use same keyboard and mouse for two laptops at the same time.

  (3) I don't have to worry about files and stuff stored in different computers laptop cuz its shared via Wi - Fi network. If I can access them in two laptop computers whenever I wanted. It's perfect.

  I hope this helps those who were eager to do the same.

  See you soon!

• Print screen while using dual display on Tecra M5 monitors

  I have a Tecra M5 in a docking station, and I use the laptop as a primary monitor screen and an external LCD display as the secondary. Whenever I use the function Print Screen, I find that it copies both screens to the Clipboard. Is there a setting on the nvidia controls that will allow me to copy only the "active screen?" To avoid this problem, I find I have return to mode of single screen which is very irritating.

  Thank you

  Shuggy

  I assume you are using the desktop option on your machine
  This happens because the ALT + PRTSCN option creates a shortcut to the full desktop.
  If you want to create a unique desktop shortcut you don t need to use the extended desktop option.
