Windows 7 thinks my projector is my monitor and vice versa

When I press Windows-P, I can spend my monitor (with a CRT) and my projector, but I have to choose the projector to the screen and select the monitor to tilt the projector.  It is more an annoyance than a real problem.  However, it would be nice if each device was labeled correctly.

It is very doubtful that your problem is because you did not uninstall your old drivers first.  This is a bug in Windows 7 pure and simple.  I know because I did a wipe of the hard disk cleanup and a clean install of windows 7.  Without having to install a single driver, the problem persists.  So it must be a problem with Windows 7 or built-in drivers in Windows 7 or Windows 7 driver model.

My solution was to reprogram my brain and change my own definition of what a projector is everything (he sits on my desktop) and that's what than a monitor (it shines on my wall). Laughing out loud

  • Windows Mail thinks that this message is suspicious and has blocked

    Hello

    When I send an email to 3 of my clients, it shows windows mail thinks this is a suspicious message and blocked. It's something every normal day that trigger the alert message, no pyramid or scam scheme.

    It happens on 3 different computers I know, all using Windows Mail. How can I identify what is happening with Windows mail? The alternative is to install a different e-mail program, but I'd rather have this problem in a different way instead of patching the problem.

    If you mean that recipients see this message, it could have more to do with your server e-mail than anything else.  The first place to check would be with your ISP or whoever provides your outgoing email service. Steve Hebert - MVP Microsoft Internet Explorer

    Hello

    The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
    You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

    Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to

  • A problem with the accuracy of recall of synchronized calendar from my laptop to my windows phone 8 and vice versa.

    I just got a new laptop windows 8 and windows phone 8, hoping that what they say on the timing of them is true, and I'm so glad it's true, but there is a problem, and it is, whenever I have an entry in the calendar of my windows laptop 8, kit will be able to sync with my phone , but the other time and date. I even tried vice versa, but it still does not work.

    Hello

    Looks like there could be a problem with Microsoft you use, Account

    I suggest to log on another computer of Windows 8 using your Microsoft Account and make sure that you synchronize all the parameters. Once the settings are synchronized, you can create a new calendar event and check the problem in Windows phone. If you are faced with the same question, we can confirm that the problem is caused by Microsoft Account you use.

    You can run the Microsoft Account troubleshooting utility and check the results.

    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=268424

    If the settings of date and time synced properly into the other computer, it might be due to the settings of date and time of your laptop or your Windows phone. You can synchronize the clock of your computer with a time server Internet. This means that your computer's clock is updated to match the clock on the time server, which can help ensure that your computer's clock is accurate. Your clock is usually updated once a week and must be connected to the Internet during synchronization to occur.

    a. start Panel.

    b. Select clock, language and region and then clicking on the Date and time.

    c. click on the Internet time tab and then click change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    d. Select the checkbox next to the synchronize with a time server Internet, select a time server, and then click OK.

    Also check that you have set the same locale in the cell phone as well as location.

  • Machine virtual Windows 7 - freezes\reverts of the screen when going from Windowed to full screen and vice versa.

    I use a Win7 box with a Machine virtual Win7 on it.  When I started using the VM, it should start and login and work very well.  Shortly after I started having the following problem.  It loads in windowed mode, so I me the welcome greenish\blueish after cutting inside.  If I wait for the Office to load, when I do the full VM screen, it goes full screen then the screen goes to the Welcome screen again, but it's just a static image.  It won't change until I have send a Ctrl-Alt-Del command.  Can I get the normal window with options for logging, start the Task Manager, etc..  If I press ESC or click Cancel, it will show the office and I can work on it without problem.

    If I leave full screen mode windowed after that, the same thing happens, except instead of the Welcome screen, I get the screen of Ctl-Alt-Del as a static picture.  Once again, if I send the Ctrl-Alt-Del command, then cancel, I get the office as usual and it will work until I have try to resize the screen again.

    Can someone help me understand what is happening?

    Thanks in advance,

  • My saved Windows Movie Maker Project open with video clips in the Audio editing panel and vice versa (NOT as it was created). Can I move them back where they belong?

    After days of the creation of a filmmaker 'project' I 'saved project' one last time, then reopen and publish a movie.  All my video Clips (phtotos) now appear in the Audio editing / music along the bottom with only a video clip standing in line of the video of this 'slide show' of 90 minutes.  Is it possible to move these clips to which they belong without having to recreate the whole project?

    What happens if you try to read the project in Movie Maker?

    Looks like your project .mswmm file is corrupt (starting
    Perhaps more than the best approach). The project can be as far
    too big and too complex to publish (save) with success as a
    video file.

    I suggest that you create several small projects
    and publish (save), each of them in the. WMV video format
    and then re-import the collection. To combine WMV files
    in a single movie.

    You can also import collection. Clips WMV to DVD
    Manufacturer and each clip, would have become a scene (chapter)
    on the DVD.

    Take your monitor to another computer and borrow the monitor from that computer to put on your.  That should quickly indicate if the monitor is bad or if there is a computer problem.  If you have two monitors are trying to exchange the first to the second and vice versa.
