A30 run in dual monitor mode?

I have an old A21p that allows me to run an LCD monitor as an extention of my laptop screen, making one big long monitor. The A21p is having some major problems so I would like to use my A30 the same way. Anyone know how to set it up? Control Panel/display/settings does not show me the option of two monitors like the A21p does.

You probably don't have the correct setup for A30, since it should have no issue running the way you want it...
My A31p is out sick, and I'm too tired right now to fire up a spare A31 that I have and load XP on it to test, but, in the meantime, give this a shot, it may or may not work:

why does bridge cc expand to dual monitor mode when copying or deleting photos?

You say your running 10.5.6? Why haven't you updated to 10.5.8?
FWIW, I never had color issues under 10.5.X, however I have since upgrade to 10.6.

How to enable a dual monitor mode

I have a MSI FX52000 VTD-128 board which suppose to support a dual monitor mode. It has D-Sub analog, DVI and VIVO connectors.
Would it be possible to connest primary monitor to DVI and secondary to analog output or only Video Out can be used for the secondary monitor?

Have you installed the latest "Forceware" Drivers?...I think MSI's 52.70's are great...How you should go about setting up for two displays is to go into NVIDIA Driver Control Panel>trouble shooting>Click on the "Detect Displays" Button after you connect the other monitor ...Sean REILLY875

Slideshow on 1st monitor (while in dual monitor mode)

Apparently, Lightroom expects you to always use the second monitor for slideshows and does not allow you to use the first (no options available as far I my research went).
My 1st monitor is bigger and would be my choice for slideshow presentations. I am sure I'm not the only person with this setup.
(BTW: I don't quite understand why there's two shortcuts for slideshows on a Mac - "Cmd + Return" and "Shift + Alt + Cmd + Return". In dual monitor mode they do exactly the same, even though the distinction suggests they would have something to do with the target monitor...)

me too originally! Until I remembered that LR never works like that!! The module system can sometimes get confusing trying to remember which things apply throughout LR and which things only on a module...however there is usually some way round every problem in the end,and one of the joys (or frustration dependant on how busy I am) is discovering it.

Dual monitor mode causes lag in edit response

Has anyone seen this problem? In single monitor mode the response to edit moves is quite fast, in dual monitor mode that is a frustrating lag in response. Thanks in advance for any help you can share.

Thanks a ton, I was trying to figure this out now and then and was getting frustrated.

Not pleased with PreEl 11 dual monitor mode

finally got PreEl 11 working on my PC and do not like the dual monitor mode. in previous PreEl programs i could detact the monitor and out it in to another screen and still have all the tools on the other screen. now the monitor and most of the tools move with the monitor so i have a split work space. not very handy at all. i am HOPING that someone can figure out a way to move just the monitor and not everything else with it...

If you've got a feature request, you should contact Adobe on their web site. (They're likely developing the next version now, so it's a good time to do so!)
This is a user-to-user help forum. We can't do anything about the interface itself. (And, yes, breaking it into a timeline and everything else is really the only option for version 11.)

Elements 11 Preview Window not visible in dual monitor mode

When I go to dual monitor mode the preview window is hidden. I can still hear the audio from the clip but I can't see the video window. It is still hidden when I switch back to single monitor mode. The only way to bring it back is to close out the program and reopen it. Does anyone know where it goes and how to make it visible?

MAINEEDIT
I have just set up for Premiere Elements 11 Dual Monitor Mode in Windows 8 64 bit computer.
How do you have your monitors set up...Extend Across.. or other?
I am not having any problems keeping track of what I believe you are referring to as the "Preview Window". So please excuse
if I double check with you via the following screenshot.
Preview Window which can be brought up
a. double clicking the file in Project Assets
b. double clicking the file on the Expert workspace Timeline
I am going to go over this one more time with my Premiere Elements 11 and Windows 8 64 bt computer to see
if I can create the situation that I am interpreting that you have.
Thanks.

Add On...This especially makes me ask....
When I reopen the program the preview window appears in its normal position.
The Preview Window is going to close when you save/close the project. As you saying that you re-opened the project
to find the Preview Window opened?

With the last BIOS, it states that 4GB modules may be possible, but looking at the memory test report http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1393.pdf it seems this was only done for DDR2 modules, as these are the only ones reflecting this.
Suggest you check with MSI technical if the BIOS should accommodate DDR3 4GB modules as well. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Do a CMOS clear, then once in the BIOS, set your DRAM ratio so that the DRAM is at 1066. See if that works.

Pc won't run in dual channel mode

Hi.I have an msi P6N SLI motherboard which supports dual channel ram configurations.I first purchased four 1gb ddr2 pc 800 ram modules and the pc wouldn't boot so i have 2 1gb and 1 2g modules which work fine.When i remove the 2gb module and the 1gb modules are in either slots 1 and 3 or slots 2 and 4(dual channel) ,the pc wont boot.When in slots 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 it works fine again.
Is there some setting i must change in the bios to enable dual channel mode.Ive looked but can't seem to find anything and the manual doesn't say anything about changing settings.
I would appreciate any help.thanks

the two 1 gb must be in slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 and the 2gb can be in any empty slot. then it should boot. why just do not get yourself 2 x 2gb ddr2 800. due to memory controller limitation 2x2gb is the best option for using window 32bits. and finally there is nothing in bios which can solve your prob. good luck

Outlook 2010 sounds and Dual Monitor Mode

Every time I hook up a monitor (analog connector) to my laptop (lacks a digital monitor port), I lose system sounds only in Outlook 2010. I'm running Vista 64-bit. Other applications make system sounds, like Internet Explorer and Windows Media plays media just fine, but not Outlook 2010 (I had 2003 before, and didn't have a problem - it's only when I updated to 2010 that I ran into the problem). There is one time the sounds will play - right before I receive in my system tray a notification that there are 'critical updates' to be made to my system.
I tried turning off the monitor, but leaving it connected. Still no sound. It cannot be connected to my laptop for the sound rules to work in Outlook 2010.
I've gone to the Microsoft site and checked out all their recommendations. They don't have anything that comes close to addressing this (that I found). I figure that it is probably on the Outlook 2010 side, but am hitting a wall there. Figured I'd try here, where the hardware sits to fish for others' experiences.
Thanks

... ...,it started experiencing a perpetual Send/Receive mode and when this started, only outgoing emails have been possible.
So your Outlook will send out but not receive? Have you checked your email on the web based access?
Are you able to see any unread messages there? If you can, then it is most likely a setting in Outlook, or possibly a port is blocked on your network. Try to check if your incoming settings are correct in Outlook, you might want to contact your ISP
for the info.

Intermittent screen flash in dual monitor mode?

I've developed an interesting problem - A few months back there existed some fault with kde's treatment of the xf86-video-ati drivers which meant that, if you had compositing enabled, it would randomly segfault and die. This was slightly irritating.
So, recently, In an act of pure, stupid, and uninformed optimism, I decided to see what would happen if I just asked pacman to upgrade me to the latest version of kde (In case the problem from before has been fixed - for comedic effect).
This went predictably badly, although the fault in question does appear to have been fixed. However, as part of it's dependencies the new kde brought in new ATI drivers, and somewhere along the way an entirely new and exciting fault that causes my secondary monitor's image to flash to black for about 1 second in 7 has been picked up.
From my own investigating/googling so far, I've determined this is something to do with KMS and my display drivers. The flashing persists even in text mode, but only affects the secondary screen (The other one works fine). If I add nomodeset to my grub kernel boot line then the flashing ceases in text mode, but Xorg segfaults when I try and start it.
Has anyone else encountered this particular fault? Any advice on how to fix it?
Thanks!

Thanks for working that out, but I'm still horribly confused. I've been tinkering with things today to improve my boot speed (new kernel, messing with module loading and so on), and the problem seems to have gone away by itself. I have at no stage had anything to do with upower (it hasn't been installed).
How perplexing.
Anyway, problem solved, thanks everyone, and well done Sayo for working out the problem! (Even if it appears that MY problem was unrelated )

IPhoto cant switch monitor profiles in dual monitor mode

Hi,
my problem is that i am using iPhoto 6 (newest version) with the internal screen of my macbook and an external screen. Both are calibrated. Most programms like Photoshop or Capture one or Aperture switch the profiles of the monitors while going from one to another. You can see that, it just takes half a second and the correct color is displayed. iPhoto seems to be not capable of that feature. It stays all the time with the profile of the main monitor selected in ColorSync.
Does anybody else notice this or am i the only one?
The Apple Care Hotline couldnt help at all...
Btw. It is exactly the same problem with Safari.
Cheers
Axel

Thank you Terence for your reply.
I think you are right. But nevertheless I need to know what I am dealing with. Sometimes I am just not sure wether running on the correct profile or not. That makes work sometimes a bit difficult.
Also I am angry because it took me a few days and a thousend nervs to find out what the problem is. Apple doesnt know of this program as far as they told me. I wonder if this is a known "bug" or if this should not be the way it is. Maybe these programs are usually able to switch the profiles. I just dont know. That is what I want to know.
Cheers
Axel

Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
So here goes;
Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
-1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
-1440 x 900 (on the right)
With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

Dual monitor color issue - oversaturated image in CS4

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I found people having similar issues, but never seen an actual answer, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
My set-up:
MacBook Pro Dual Core intel based 15.4 2.6GHz running OS X 10.5.6 - also my primary display
HP LP2475- secondary display
CS4
Both monitors were calibrated using X-rite Eye-one LT (each with a separate profile)
I've tried calibrating each monitor 3 times and still get the proble,
My problem:
Running in dual monitor mode in bridge or safari/firefox- no problems at all: almost consistent colour between both monitors.
When I open the images in Photoshop CS4, they look fine on my MacBook screen, but when I drag them over to the HP the color is grossly oversaturated - especially in the red. What am I doing wrong? (in fact on the HP monitor, the color looks perfect in bridge but super insanely saturated in CS4)
Does anyone have a clue on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

You say your running 10.5.6? Why haven't you updated to 10.5.8?
FWIW, I never had color issues under 10.5.X, however I have since upgrade to 10.6.
