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.

    You may need to update your display and video driver

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
    for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
    the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Windows 7 does not detect my external monitor. Why? How should I do?

    Good, some basic information. The laptop at the origin of the problem is an HP laptop.  In other circumstances, I wouldn't care on this issue. But the screens on both of my computers cell phones don't work (they are Sun and incredibly difficult to see, barely visible) and I use an external monitor so for use.

    In other words, I used.

    I have Windows 7 for one of my laptops, and it is already fully charged. But, I tried to connect my external monitor, it did not work. I tried to use the projection screen, pressing [FN + F4]and pressing on [FN +] other F keys, as well. Of course, I thought it was weird. So I looked for answers on the internet (on my other laptop), nothing works. Most only have problems with the monitor not working not properly; mine is not detected at all. I went to the display settings (have to squint shine with a light and bend my laptop screen in different directions), and it showed only 1 screen, the main screen. I tried to restart, stop, unplug the monitor and in him plugging back and turning the cable around. I know that the problem is not the cable, as I use it right now.

    I also tried updating the drivers, but for one reason, the laptop now refuses to connect to the internet as well. So, now, I have a laptop completely useless with a black screen, and I can't put my files on it because of this black screen. Not that I'd be able to use it for something else, anyway.

  • Windows 8 will not detect iPod Touch 2 generation

    Hello!

    My problem is I have an iPod Touch 2 gen and when I plug in windows cannot detect it. If I go to post work is not in the list, or if I go to Device Manager, it is still not detected not even in portable devices or controllers Bus USB, but the iPod is charging. It happened after a restored building and now I need to connect it to iTunes, but it does not work. I tried with Windows 7, 8 and 10, and I don't know what to do at the moment. My 5s iPhone works fine with the same computers.

    Please help me, thank you

    Greta

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the iPod Touch 2 connects not with Windows 7, 8 or 10 and I will be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • IPod Touch 2 appears in iTunes?
    • You receive an error message?

    This could be due to problem of incompatibility with iTunes. Given that iPhone 5s connects without any problems, you can refer to the suggestions provided by Apple in the link below.

    iPod touch not appearing is not in iTunes

    If the problem persists, I would ask that you check with Apple support.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Windows 8 will not detect my graphics (Nvidia Ge Force 555 M)

    I have a Lenovo B520 desktop PC and recently upgraded to Windows 8, since my upgrade, I lost the ability to use my graphic dedicated chip (a Nvidia Ge force 555M), trying to install the drivers for this device, the installer of Nvidia said that it could not find any compatible hardware (Windows 8 had not recognized the graphics card). If someone else is having the same problem or someone knows how to solve this problem, then you would be a great help,

    Thank you
    Tom

    I experienced a similar problem with my motherboard Asus P8Z77-V and a Nvidia GTX 670. I have video output to my monitor, but according to the Nvidia Control Panel, there is no compatible hardware installed, so my games run like molasses.

    In my case, I found a solution that might work for you too. In Device Manager, I noticed that the system for my port PCI Express device had a marker against it, so it did not work properly. For me, the device was labeled "Xeon processor E3-1200 v2/3 rd Gen Core Processor PCI Express Root Port - 0151". Right click on one to select Disable and then enable caused once again my card being detected and everything worked properly again.
    Only problem with the solution above, it persists through a reboot, so whenever I start my computer I have to do. Not perfect, but the best solution that I can find at the moment.
    I hope this helps you
    James

    Edit: I have since solved the problem permanently (fingers crossed) by updating the firmware on my motherboard to the latest version. YMMV.
  • First Pro CC will not recognize the second monitor

    Greetings:

    I'm having a problem with the help of my second monitor to the output in CC PP.  I did the following based on another post:

    Try these two steps to check the transmission is enabled:

    1. go in the program monitor Panel menu > check "Allow to pass" is checked.

    2. go to Preferences > reading > check your 2nd monitor is present and active.

    What I get when I do it is a black screen that covers the top left of my screen at 1920 x 1080, the size of my other monitor.  When I save a project and use my second monitor for a sign, say under my belt, I'm able to drag the Panel above and use it, but when I save and reboot, the Panel is always on my primary monitor:

    I tried different confgurations in Preferences-> reading, but get the same result every time.  I have to force quit when I get the black box, I'm unable to access other options of PP.  Anyone encountered this, and if so, is there a solution?  I saw that there was a problem of "transmit", but that does not solve this problem.  Thank you!

    I don't hate replying to my own post, but I thought I'd post here how I solved my problem in case someone else ends up here with a similar one.

    To be clear, I have 2 monitors and when I activated transmit full playback screen would be superimposed on my workspace creation on monitor 1 even though I had specified to monitor 2 in my video device in the preferences > reading.

    It seems that during the last few months (I have a vague memory of it), I decided to check the "improvements" in the way Mavericks managed multiple monitors. I created two spaces in Mission Control, this is how Applications in the dock wins a menu extended options in the menu contextual (the one that appears when your right click the application icon in the dock). I knew that this extended menu was there because the site of Apple told me.

    From the OPTIONS menu on my 2 monitor setup are then ASSIGN to > all workstations; OFFICE ON DISPLAY 1; OFFICE ON DISPLAY 2; NONE.

    After trying the various options to see if the operation was consistent with the explanation of Apple and if I wanted to work with spaces, I decided that I don't have not so I removed the spaces that I created in Mission Control.

    Remove the deleted spaces these additional options ASSIGN to THE menu even though I wasn't aware of this at the time.

    A few days later, I went to allow the TRANSMISSION when editing in Premiere Pro (that I had used successfully before) than having the problem described in this thread. I stupidly credited this problem for a recent update of CC and in the release of 2014 CC does not correct it, I started to look elsewhere.

    Cut to the end and the way - after proving that a new Mac user account test does not show the problem, I have returned to my user account, active areas in control from Misson, changed the menu ATTRIBUTE to None for Premiere Pro (default), then the TRANSMISSION function worked correctly, showing a full picture has been assigned to the correct window.

    OK, the last paragraph may suggest I knew what to do but I have not, I had spent a lot to research in the library of the user to search for differences, until I came across this.

  • New installation of Windows 7 will not identify the second internal hard drive

    Attempted recently to upgrade a computer running the SP3 of XP to Windows 7.  Bought the new FULL version of 7.
    Have two 1 t Seagate Barracuda SATA drives on board; Operating system in partition 1 of disk C:. second disc to store data only.

    Several unsuccessful attempts to install 7, but with helpful suggestions, others on this forum, (i.e., update of the BIOS, re-formatting drive C to do a clean install, etc.) finally managed to a successful installation.

    All right, except that it does not find my second hard drive.  I have the disks attached ports SATA 1 & 2, but the system reads them so much as the C: drive.  The second disc appears in the BIOS Setup and Explorer as just the C: drive.

    Tried to change the SATA port for second drive to 3 and 4 with the same result.  It always appears as the C: drive.

    How can I get the systΦme can recognize the drive, so it can be assigned to a drive letter and I can access?  I suspect that the reformatting of the first disc for installation probably erased some boot sector/configuration info.

    A side issue: before attempting to upgrade to XP, I backed up my "Documents and Settings" on an external drive.  Now that XP is passed to the computer, can I continue to use Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all my settings and info from the program, or who's going to screw me up?

    Check if the hard drive is assigned to a drive letter in disk management.

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on management of

    Expand disk management

    Select your external hard drive if its posted here

    Make a right click paths and change drive letter

    Restart your computer, open the computer in the start menu and see if it shows then.
