Bootcamp windows 7 displays will not extend monitor only mirror?

I have bootcamped my mac with windows (have done this before about 2 years ago and has worked fine) when i boot windows my second monitor turns on and mirrors the display but i can no-longer extend it like i use to any ideas?

Okay, well, I got it to work, but only in single mode (had to disable the actual mac screen).
Is there a way to do this in duplicate/mirrored mode? I know on the mac side everything fits perfectly even in mirrored and everything.

  • Windows 7 installation will not recognise the Bootcamp disc!

    I have a 2008 Macbook running Snow leopard.
    Installed Win 7 via bootcamp but when I insert the Mac Snow Leopard disc to install the Bootcamp drivers etc after the Win 7 install has succeeded, the Windows 7 installation will not recognise the disc!
    Any ideas
    Thanks in advance

    If you used your Leopard DVD then it won't work.
    As ScuseMe said only the OSX Snow Leopard DVD contains the drivers for Windows 7.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button.  Worked fine before Lion update.   Any Advice?

    Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
    Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
    The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
    I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine. 
    Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway. 
    Oh well...
    Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out.  Thanks very much for responding!!!

  • Display will not sleep any more after waking from sleep

    My Macbook has recently started misbehaving after waking from sleep. Started putting the entire MB to sleep each night by closing the lid. When I wake it in the morning everything seems normal, no error messages. However from that point forward the display will not dim or sleep. I've tried re-applying my settings in System Preferences -> Energy Saver. Pretty much the only fix has been to reboot, which is annoying and Windows-like.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I have "fast sleep" enabled (aka hibernation mode disabled) but I've had that since I bought my MB with 10.5.1 on it. So I don't think it's related. In fact I changed to the default Energy Saver profile to see if that fixed the problem (it didn't), which re-enabled hibernation mode and I then had to re-disable hibernation.
    I want to say this started happening after the 10.5.4 update, but that may have been a coincidence as to when I started sleeping it each night... I don't exactly remember.
    I downloaded Cocktail to run all the cron jobs, etc, that don't get run when sleeping at night, and that didn't help either.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else ever see this? Seeing it now?
    Thanks!

    This is still an issue for me.
    I sleep my Macbook every night by closing the lid. After doing this a few times, the display either stops sleeping, or stops locking. I have the lock menu in the Apple menu bar, and even selecting "Lock screen" will not work.
    Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes I have to reset the SMC.
    Any info out there?

  • My display will not wake when I remote in

    I have an imac early 2009. I have recently updated various software from Apple. I have the engery prefrence at : 1hour Computer sleep and 15 mins Display sleep. I use Gotomypc to login to my home computer. Prior to the new updates i did not have an issue with with the computer not waking from sleep. But since the updates my display will not wake? They hardrive wake but the screen just does not. I do have a screen saver, however, this was not an issue prior to the new updates. Any help would greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,

    After a lot of research it seems to be an issue with the last update. It appears to be an issue with several application and the developers are aware of the issue. Unfortunately the only fix to the issue currently is to keep your monitor on. I have adjusted my screen to only be on at various time to prevent burn out. I hope this helps.

    my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.  Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash.   This mac book is less than a month old.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

    Windows 8.1 will not run my install CD for Photoshop 5.0. What can I do ?

    i'm not sure your expectations are realistic.  ps 5 was designed for win95.
    you can't fault adobe for failing to design ps 5 so it would be compatibile with an os that wasn't in existance when ps 5 was released. 
    to be sure, adobe did not  warrant their software would work with all future operating systems.  and no other software company can or does make such a claim.

  • Bootcamp, Windows 7: EN option not showing up in input method selector

    Hi,
    I added a Japanese and a German input method on my Bootcamp Windows 7 install.
    For some reason only JP (Japanese) and DE (German) are shown as options in the input method selector - but no EN, which should be the default...
    In the settings the EN entry is shown however:
      EN English (United States)
        +-+ Keyboard
            + United States (Apple)
      JP Japanese
        +-+ Keyboard
            + Microsoft IME
      German (Germany)
        +-+ Keyboard
            + German (Apple)
    When starting up, the German keyboard is activated and there is no way to switch back to the English one.
    When adding another English keyboard, US for example, an EN option is shown - but it selects the normal US keyboard and not the "United States (Apple)" one...
    Any idea how to solve the problem?
    Thanks, Dietrich

  • Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?

    Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?  Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

    Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
    Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

  • My mac mac book pro w retina display will not go to sleep when I close the lid or put it to sleep.

    My mac mac book pro w retina display will not stay asleep when I close the lid or put it to sleep.
    I put the computer in my bag and when I open it again the machine is so hot I can almost not touch it.
    I am affraid that the hardware is allready fried.
    Also when I press a key to restart after it has been idle for a few minutes it often takes up to a minute to wake back up.
    This machine is bran new..
    What should I do?

    Try a SMC reset:

  • CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Please advise

    CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Been fine until now. No recent updates on computer, other Creative Suite software all work fine too.
    I have the Student package installation so I am unable to uninstall then re-install as one off set up. Or is it possible to get the re-installation on a student package, and if so will I have to re-install everything?
    have been using Dreamweaver only two months ago and now it is will not open. I do not get anything on the screen, no egg-timer or anything. Tried to look up online to solve problem, but no joy.
    Please advise....

    If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences.  Note: your work space, custom settings & 3rd party extensions will be wiped out by this.  So make backups of anything you need to keep.
