Dual monitor issue with 10.8 and Windows 7 (bootcamp)

I've a read a lot of threads here about people having nightmare-ish problems after upgrading. Thankfully, this isn't one of them, just a frustration that I'd like advice on.
My system: 2010 13" MBP, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, 320GB HD. Work setup has external 17" Dell Widescreen monitor connected with VGA to miniDisplay adapter. Home theater setup has 23" Dell monitor connected with HDMI to miniDisplay cable.
I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8, as I like to stay up to date and it seemed ML fixed many of the Lion issues. After finding out Front Row is completely gone I just about reverted (my laptop doubles as my home theater control). I found XBMC, and it works, sort of (anyone with news on whether Front Row will be returned to us, let me know!).
Enough babbling, my issue:
When I switch from bootcamp windows 7 back to OS X, my second monitor's resolution is all screwed up (very low) and the dock and menu bar are BOTH on the second (Dell 17") screen, though it's not in a mirror mode.
Usually the dock is on the laptop screen, and the menu bar is on the second.
All I have to do is unplug the miniDisplay port and plug it back in, but is there a setting I'm missing to keep me from having to do this? Also, I've never used Windows at home, so I've never had to switch with the 23 inch monitor connected. Don't really want to try as that system is working quite well right now.
Thanks!

It's NVidia GeForce 320M.
Just checked the drivers page and the Mac side only lists up to 10.6.8
Should I assume that the update needs to be on the Windows 7 side? At one point last November I tried to update on the Windows side and it caused all sorts of **** on my system causing me to have to reinstall both OS X and 7.
May be worth another try?

Dual Booting Ubuntu with OS X and Windows 8 Bootcamp?

I have Windows 8 Consumer Preview installed via Bootcamp, and OS X Lion as well. My question is: how would I install Ubuntu on another partition? So that when I held Option and started up my MacBook Pro, it would show Ubuntu as an option to boot. I already have Ubuntu 12.04 burned onto a disk, I just have no idea if it's safe to boot into the CD and install. Is it alright?
Another thing, if it's required, I would be willing to delete my Windows Bootcamp partition.

Choose Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar from the View menu and put it back.

Issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8

any known issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8...version worked fine on windows xp....new computer with windows 8....now cannot seem to operate. Loads, and shows access but will NOT start up. help ! thanx ttp74

AI 10 is now 10 years or so old and was never tested on nor designed for Win 7 or Win 8. You should simply assume it's not compatible and will never run properly. feel free to spend your time with the compatibility modes and al lsorts of hacking with the security stuff and otehr settings, but to be honest, it will probably be a waste of time.

I have an issue with the tabs and windows disappearing....?

I have a constant problem with Firefox now. I notice that with Firefox 4 and 5 there has been a reoccurring problem with the tabs and windows closing on their own. If I have more than one window open, one of them will suddenly disappear and I wont see the tab at the bottom anymore until I click out of the one I am currently on. It is very annoying and only when I get out of Firefox completely will it sometimes reappear. Even more frightening is the fact that when I move the mouse downward to the bottom of the page the page shuts out as if I clicked out of it.
I am wondering if this is a security issue meaning some type of malware or virus that is manipulating my browser or is this a common issue that has some unknown cause? I would like to know what the cause is and how it can be fixed because it annoys me all the time. Please help!!

No Issue with the voltage in general. iPad is being charged via USB.
1. If you connect it directly to the computer - no problem.
2. If you want to charge it directly from the power socket you will need this:

Dual monitor setup with Docking station and W500 on windows 8

Hi there
I have a w500 with ATI Radeon 3650
Trying hard to have it set up with windows 8 and two monitors with my docking station. It worked with XP, Vista, W7...but no go now.
Any solutions out there? I don't care about catalyst control center, or which drivers I have to use, just give me back my two monitors connected to a docking station

I have the same W500 setup and have had no luck finding Windows 8 drivers on Lenovo's site or AMD's. I have a support ticket in to Lenovo to see what they come up with. I have two flat panel monitors that I need to work. According to MS, Catalyst Control Center has compatibility issues with Win8. It was easy to set up both monitors under Win7 with CCC. I have not been able to set them up using Windows display setting in Control Panel. Does anyone out there know of an app that I can use to replace CCC and run two monitors?

Severe Security Issue with Sharing Permissions and Windows

I recently discovered a severe Security issue with the windows sharing an permission settings:
I have two users, an admin user and a parental controlled user. On my mac mini, i have a external harddrive connected. On the harddrive, i have three folders, Itunes, Iphoto (Package) and a Temp Folder. I want to share the Harddrive RW for the admin, but only R for the parental user. But the Temp folder should be accessible for RW for the parental as well.
1. I set the Drive checkbox "ignore ownership" off.
2. I set the permissions of the drive to admin RW, parental R and Everyone to "no access"
3. I apply to enclosed Items
4. I set the permission of the Temp folder to admin RW, parental RW and Everyone to "no access"
5. I apply to enclosed Items
6. I go to "File Sharing" in the Preferences and activate SMB sharing for both users
7. I delete all previous shares
8. I add the Disk and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental R, Everyone "no access"
9. I add the Temp folder and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental RW, Everyone "no access" - Funny, there is a new Group called "Temp" created which has custom access on both sharepoints
10. I connect to the mac over a Windows machine (NTLM auth set appropriatly). Now I try to create a folder on the root of the Disk share, I get a denied message.
BUT WHEN I GO INTO A SUBFOLDER (eg. ITUNES or IPHOTO), WHICH HAS ALSO JUST "R" PERMISSION FOR THE PARENTAL USER, I AM ABLE TO RW, DELETE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!
TO RECAPITULATE: THE SHARING PERMISSIONS ARE "R", AND THE FILE PERMISSIONS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDERS FOR THE RESPECTIVE USER ARE ALSO JUST "R". BUT THE USER CAN DO EVERYTHING IN THE SUBFOLDERS!!!

Wireless Router issues with MacBook Pro and Windows XP laptops

hello,
I have a d-link wireless router and I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows XP laptops. My issue is that I have to keep rebooting either the router or the modem (which I both replaced) and it still does not work right. Now can mac and windows work simultaneously through a wireless router (d-link) with no issues?

My problem is that every time I log off either computer, and when I start it back up up again I have to reconfigure all over again for both laptops to get connected to the internet. I called the d-link people and they pretty much said if i still had problem to go their web sites and download their firmware (which I have that version) so I am running out of options because I just can't turn either of them on with out reconfiguring it. Now I am using WPA on them. Could that be the issue? But right now I do not know. This is my first mac and I am getting a little irritated by this. Overall I like the mac except for this little issue. Does that help?

Monitor issues with Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt

having issues getting my HP 2311 monitor to work on thunderbolt cable to DVI, help?
It keeps freezing computer, or going blue screen.

Concerning this comment:
I know that neither the adapter nor the VGA cable have a problem since I connected the computer to my 1080p TV and it worked just fine...
I would like to point out that 1080p has a lower pixel clock than will 1920 x 1200. So it could be the stability problem is only present when the pixel clock is at the high end of the range.
You could return the adapter and try another. A new one might have better margins. Another thing you could try is to use a utility like SwitchResX to lower the pixel clock and see if stability improves.

Dual monitors issues with Built application

I made a vi that uses both monitors. I set the run time position to the second monitor on one vi and the first monitor on the other vi. The vi running on the primary monitor calls the second vi on the second monitor vi the Vi Server. This works great when working in the development environment.
But when I build the application, the vi that is supposed to be on the second monitor, shows up over the vi on the primary monitor.
Did I miss a setting in the Application Settings??

Mapping issues with Server 2003 and windows 8.1 machine

We are running Windows Server 2003 and trying to map network drives through a GPO script on a Windows 8.1 machine. The drives don't get mapped and if they do, it takes them 10minutes or more to show up. The Folder Redirection is not working
as well. Any suggestions?

Hi,
This is because
by default, on client computers, Group
Policy processing is not synchronous, that is client computers typically do
not wait for the network for GPO settings to be fully initialized at startup and logon.
Solution:
Enable the
policy setting Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon to set the client computers wait
for the network for GPO settings to be fully initialized during computer startup and user logon.
Steps to enable the Policy Setting
- Open Group Policy Management Console (start -> Run -> Type GPMC.MSC).
- Edit the required GPO and navigate to
Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Logon and enable the option Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon

S7-392 issue with Hyper-V and Windows 10

Hi, I upgraded my S7-392 to Windows 10, and as soon as I enable Hyper-V in Windows 10 and reboot, the screen gets stuck at the boot logo. The progress ring is spinning and nothing happens after that. I can login in safe mode and disable the Hyper-V, and the system boots normally. I tried this many times. Everytime I enable Hyper-V, I am unable to boot into windows again (until I disable Hyper-V). I also performed a clean install of Windows 10 pro on my S7-392, and the same problem persists. Any solution to this. This is really urgent and important. This is my primary development machine, and I need to run Windows Phone Emulators in Visual Studio. Thanks and appreciate quick help. Naweed

found this:http://mou.me.uk/2012/08/27/windows-wont-boot-after-activating-hyper-v-in-windows-8/ yes it's for windows 8 but...can be a good suggestion, so if you didn't already installed updated Intel chipset drivers, give it a try:http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Chipset/Chipset_Intel_10.1.1.8_W10x64_A.zip?acerid=635730682896833407&Step1=ULTRA-THIN&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%20S7-392&OS=10M1&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

Has anyone seen issues with NI products and Windows XP SP2?

Our IT dept is talking about the above update.
Since I support everything NI produces, I am looking for any issues that may be related.
Thanks in advance for helping me out on this!

Windows XP SP2 is a major update with a lot of changes especially in the area of network security. As most of NI's software products were released before this service pack we haven't been able to test our software with this maintenance release so some issues may exist.
Currently we are testing all of our software products on XP SP2 systems documenting all issues we find in the KnowledgeBase. Please search the KB for the keywords XP SP2.
Currently you should find at least three documented issues there.

Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?

Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10. Does any have any idea?
Thanks

Moreover, the two monitors can have completely different characteristics. As always, you really need to calibrate/profile any monitor (with a hardware tool - Spyder, Colormunki etc). That's no more important with two monitors, but you see for sure if you don't, as two dissimilar monitors will then probably look different.
