Windows 10 - no multiple monitors?
Currently using Workstation V.9 and have a virtual machine (vm) with Windows 7. I have 2 monitors and the current vm Win7 has no problem with covering the display on the 2 monitors. I recently "cloned" my Win7 and then the 10 Windows have improved in this regard. Everything worked well, got the active Win10, etc. But now although I specifically put the virtual machine to display '2 monitors' settings, it doesn't let me scroll through screens and use both monitors. It displays only in a monitor. If I go into display Windows 10 settings, it don't shows only a single monitor and when I click on "detect", it says 1 only detected display. So apparently 10 Windows will not see my second monitor for some reason any. My Win7 vm has no problem with 2 monitors. Even when I run both Win7 and Win10 vm at the same time, the Win7 uses both monitors and win 10 will not.
I tried to uninstall Workstation 9 and install VM Player 12. Charge of the vm Win10 and the same thing... without detected multiple monitors.
Y at - there a trick to getting the VM Win10 to recognize (and use) my second monitor? It drives me crazy. If I can't get multiple monitors to work, I'm stuck using Win 7!
Thanks for any help, someone might have.

Hello!
I joined just a touchscreen multi-touch Dell ST2220T the VGA on a Toshiba laptop. The multiscreen correctly display features, however touch events on the new monitor are sent to the screen of the laptop. There doesn't seem to be a way to make the new monitor the primary monitor, as in something similar here. In addition, if the option to solve this problem in a similar way to this solution exists in Windows Vista, it is certainly well hidden. I've sifted through all the options in Vista and came away empty-handed.No one knows how to fix this problem on WIndows Vista with a built-in screen that can not be changed by default?Hello
Is the touch screen as the default monitor?
Set up your touchmonitor active by default. To do this follow the steps mentioned in the link below

The unit, maximise on multiple monitors?
I want to maximize a program Windows on multiple monitors in Unity mode.
When I now push the maximize button, the window maximizes to one screen only.
No idea how to go on two screens? No fix for this next?
When I now push the maximize button, the window maximizes to one screen only.
This is expected behavior and what you would see on a Windows machine with multiple monitors. Mac applications maximize also only to a single monitor.

Multiple monitors using RDP 7 in Windows Vista x 64
I have two computers using Windows Vista x 64 and RDP 7, both computers have two video cards, however, there is no way to activate the two monitors with remote desktop.
Here are some tips on the configuration of the machine running Office remotely:
-Monitors have a different layout (Vertical and Horizontal)
-Both computers have installed SP2
-Both computers use the NVIDIA drivers
-L' guest computer have no connected monitorUp to present all the post in Internet refers is a mandatory condition the same monitor settings; However, that statement is NOT true, because I have a third computer using Windows 7, with no connected monitors, drivers NVIDIA, using the same version of RDP 7 and I am able to connect to this computer using the monitors.
Any idea on this problem will be appreciated.
Thank you

After the V43.0.0.5820, Firefox works but is invisible on the screen. I do not remember what version I have updated since then, but this is done normally under actual multiple monitors as with all other software installed.
Currently it is forcing me to use Internet Explorer, which works flawlessly.
If I stop actual multiple monitors, Firefox won't stay visible well that listed in Windows Task Manager.
When I'm out of multiple monitors, Firefox works normally.
How can I fix it?
I uninstalled V43 and re-installed V42. This seems to have solved the problem. I didn't answer on the forum of the AMM yet but it's still the early days. I'll post a response that I get to help a resolution.

Want to Phoenix h9: HP Envy H9 Phoenix - multiple monitors
No Windows 10 option above, but it's a question that began with Windows 8 and continues with Windows 10.
I have a h9 Phoenix envy that I am very satisfied, but have had trouble with multiple monitors. I can't find any documentation on the adding more than two monitors. I have one running on the HDMI connector and another through the DVI. But the addition of a third monitor became a mystery. There are two additional DVI connections, but both were covered and when the updated seem to be connected to anything internal. They are somewhat obscured by the food, and I'd rather not shoot to see the back side, I don't have to.
Then, there are two additional Minies connections on the same card that DVI and HDMI connectors that I use on the first two monitors. However, I can't find any documentation on the mini type connectors (like maybe mini DVI) I can find no cable to adapt.
Is there something in the BIOS that must be returned to activate more ports? Three monitors is not an option in the configuration current/components? Can I add another video card supporting three monitors? I have the AMD Radeon HD series 7900 graphics card.
It seems a waste to throw away when it works so well otherwise! He performmed flawlesly with the migration of Windows 10 and could last a little longer.
I suggest that you try an what AMD approved DP to HDMI adapter activewhich also works with AMD EyeFinity.
There may be a ' I gottcha "If the AMD 7900 is an OEM HP card. HP in the past has used decorum for AMD graphics cards drivers so using a retail AMD driver could be a problem, or it might work.

Original title: xp laptop lidswitch and extended mode.
I have xp laptop. I connect external monitor and set it to the extended mode with my laptop LFP as main and external monitor as secondary. Configuration of the power for the closure of the cover option as long as "do nothing". Open an Explorer window and drag extended display. Then close the cover. The external monitor becomes primary, but the Explorer windows do not go to the main window. They are always extend on even though the extended mode is it more. Is this a known problem with XP? Anyone know? Thanks for your help...
