display settings

I have a computer with dual monitors on a splitter off the DVI video card. I need to set the display to the same on both. I have done this but there are times when the second display will not display anything and I have to go to personalize, display settings and re-discover the second display...

What happened to the viewing sizer (you're able to change screen size anywhere from 40% upto 3 or 400%) in the lower right hand corner. It's not there any more. Thanks, Dave

Hi In general I use my laptop in one place, so I use external keyboard and monitor. Most of my stuff I do only on external monitor, but when i work (code and stuff) I like using both monitors (external as main + laptop monitor as secondary). The problem is with switching between views...

SWMBO has windows 7 on her PC, and does a lot of work with graphics. To make finding them easier she went to a lot of trouble putting a representative image on the icon for each folder in Windows Explorer (File manager to the over 40's). Each time she has done this however Windows 7 replaces...

On my notebook (max screen resolution: 1920x1080) there is a HDMI port. I plugged in a HDMI cable from a second, external TFT screen (max resolution 1680x1050). When I go now (under Win7) to Control Panel/Appearance and personalization/Display/Screen Resolution and select "Duplicate...

Due to a driver crash my "normal" Windows 7 is not able to bootup with the previous resolution of 1680x1050 In "safe mode" a boot is possible but the resolution is here 1280x900. How can I change the screen resolution in this "safe mode" FOR the "normal mode"? Peter

Hi there, I have changed all the settings under display to ensure that when my laptop is unplugged, the brightness is always on full, I can visibly see this in the settings. I have had this set-up on previous installations of Windows 7, but this time when I installed, it seems to ignore my...

Greetings! A little problem regarding hooking an Asus EEE netbook up to a Haier HDTV/monitor via VGA. Last night, I hooked it up and all went well. My control panel showed me a wide range of resolutions that allowed me to view my entire screen and use the monitor without any problem. Today...

Don't know where to ask this but I - and many, many others, it seems - have a problem with IE not opening in full screen. I have been up on other site and tried every suggestion I have found but still about half my pages open full page and half don't. I can't believe MS hasn't put out a fix to...

i have a new nvidia video card that allows me 3 monitors - however the first two are 'spanned' giving me a work area of 3840 x 1080 (which is perfect for my video editing), HOWEVER: when clicking the maximize symbol in the upper right hand corner the application window will spread across both...

Hi, I have a dual monitor setup, and I was wondering. How can I have a button next to the minimize button, to send the window to the other monitor? If it is maximized, it will be maximized on the other monitor, and vice versa. Is There Some Sort Of Registry Tweak to achieve this? Or Small...

hey guys! My parents had a comp they were going to put in the loft, so I decided i'd steal the monitor and try both. I connected them with a VGA monitor splitter and they both work. However, one of my screens is 1600 x 900 resolution, and the other is 1024 x 768, and my 'main' monitor (the...

My windows7 ultimate laptop currently doesn't present me with an option to access dual monitors nor will it connect to my external monitor. I try win + p and nothing happens. The monitor works, and was tested successfully this morning. Yes, is it plugged in and connected to my laptop. Yes...

Hi That's my question, I'm putting together a slide show of 3D images that I want to show on my TV next week when we have company. I would like the images to stay on the screen a little longer without having to actually create a slide show in some special application like Premiere. The Slide...
