Windows 8 does not recognize my second monitor

Initially, I had a desktop with monitor Samsung acer computer. I added a second monitor (Acer), in the hope of having an extended screen.  I use a splitter of VGA cable but I got a dual monitor.  How can I make a second screen when windows 8 do not recognize my second screen.

Hi Gayle,

You get an error message when the second screen not not detected?

Ensuring that both monitors are shown and Extend Office for this view can help get the problem solved.

  • Windows 8 will not recognize my second monitor

    After the upgrade to Windows 8, the computer does not recognize my second monitor. Disconnect and reconnect the device after it remains unknown. I am running a Dell Inspiron all in one office. Do I need to install a driver so that he will recognize the secondary monitor? If so, which?

    Access

    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen resolution

    and make sure that both monitors are indicated and "Extend desktop to this display" is selected for each monitor.

    If both monitors are not displayed, try clicking on "Detect".

    ==================

    Check Device Manager to see if the card video cards (if you use more than one) and both screens are indicated in the list of devices.

    Try to go to the Dell website, enter your service number (usually located on a label on the back of the case) or the installation allows to detect the pattern.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize my Dell 2407WFP monitor - only as monitor not Plug-and-Play credits.

    This monitor is able to execute the resolution 1920 x 1200 and it worked well on the same laptop Dell Latitude D820 under XP Pro SP3. However, Windows 7 does not recognize the Dell Monitor (shows as non-Plug-and-Play monitor credits) and will go no higher than 1600 x 1200. The monitor on the laptop will run in 1920 x 1200 and also 1920 x 1200 poster XP running inside a virtual machine, so the problem is with Windows 7 not properly recognizing the Dell 2407WFP monitor in VGA mode. All other operating systems work very well to support the material properly.

    The laptop is running a NVidia Quadro NVS 120 M map. I tried several versions of Vista Dell drivers (do not have for Windows 7 - therefore Dell is not to follow). NVidia has no drivers for this card because it specially designed for Dell and all pilots must come from Dell (new Dell doesn't help here - I know that Windows 7 was just recently released but there are important suppliers for some time. Thought Dell was big by taking charge Microsoft with their business line of products but I think that even they cannot follow.

    It seems that the problem is also Windows 7 is not correctly identify the Dell monitor and many other monitors as well. Unfortunately, I doubt that this issue will never be resolved by Microsoft. I have yet to see that all the issues MS resolved long. I begin to see the truth in the last pub in Apple vs MS on television. Well the time to upgrade the new hardware.

    If anyone has a suggestion or a solution to solve this - I'm all ears!

    Don

    wait until that Dell publishes drivers for win 7 or you can contact them for the same thing.

  • Windows 8 will not detect my second monitor.

    I recently bought a VGA splitter to connect my second monitor to my computer. It turns on but it duplicates only (not even as good resolution). I want to use this monitor to expand, but when I go to display and resolution it does not detect the second monitor even after click on detect. Someone has an answer to this?

    A VGA splitter can duplicate only a display. It does not report a second graphics port for Windows, which is necessary if Windows is to recognize two separate screens.

    If your system has a single port graph, you will need to replace your graphics card (or add a card, if you use the integrated graphics card) with a with two or more output channels.

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

    Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

    1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
    Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
    device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
    -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

    Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
    and update the firmware.

    If no joy follow these steps:

    You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

    Try these:

    Make a Restore Point

    Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

    Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

    Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
    It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

    now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

    APPLY/OK

    RESET

    This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

    Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

    After you download the photos on my iphone, windows 7 does not recognize my iphone. in other words when I open my computer the iphnoe isn't here; but in Panel, in devices and printers, it appears with unspecified Apple Mobile Device USB driver, in the form of a generic icon.

    When I run Auto Play in the search box; the iphone is there with the icon to the right, but there is no screen options menu. It behaves as if it were invisible.

    It is important to note that this started AFTER downloading the pictures for the first time. Until windows has always recognized my camera properly.
