Dual monitor screen isn't detecting any signal!

Hello
My computer doesn't have any VGA ports, so im using an 3.0 usb to VGA adapter. Whenever i plug in the adapter, the second monitor detects no signal, and also having trouble with screen resolution for the second monitor is it because of the adapter?

Hi,
What is your USB 3.0 adapter ?
Regards.

Dual monitor screen refresh problem

We have a GUI application that runs on a dual monitor setup and are experiencing strange behaviour. The application is started on one monitor (the left hand one), but at times a window which has been dragged to the right hand monitor stops getting screen updates (e.g. typing show nothing on screen, but the characters are in fact in the field). If a window is positioned so that it overlaps both screens and the problem occurs, what we observe is the portion of the window on the left monitor (where the application was started) is redrawn successfully, but the portion of the window on the right hand monitor is not drawn at all - half the window shows correct detail, half the window is a grey rectangle.
This issue is not experienced when we run the application on a single monitor. The problem is intermittent, and is not due to idle time in the application (it can occur which an operator is working with the GUI).
We are running 1.5.0 update 5.

We noticed the same problem.
We've got JSE 1.5.0_06 and a swing GUI. For me it looks like this: Only the bigger part of the application is refreshed. So if the application starts at the secondary monitor and is dragged so that a small part of the GUI is displayed on the primary monitor only the bigger part of the GUI (so that one on the secondary monitor) gets refreshed. So scrolling leads to graphic mistakes in the smaller GUI part.
If the main part of the application runs on the primary monitor and only a small part is on the secondary one we observe the same problem: Only the part on the primary monitor gets refreshed.
We also observed this grey rectangle paulch already mentioned.
Minimizing and refitting forces the repainting so then everything is fine.
Is was trying to find something in the bug database but I wasn't successful although I found several descriptions like this in this forum.
Can anybody present some work-around for this?
Thanks

Mac Monitor screen isn't full size

I started playing Sims 3 on my MacBook Pro laptop and it was working fine. Then it froze on me one time but my laptop still worked. But when I shut down my laptop and turned it on again the actual monitor screen doesn't fit the full 13". It only goes about 11". First off, is this because of my Sims game that it did this? Because it never did it before. Secondly, is there a way I can make my screen fit the full 13" or do I need to take it into an Apple store?

Have you checked the Resolution setting in the Displays system preference? If a lower resolution than normal is selected, that's one possible cause for the area being smaller.

Indicators cannot be viewed on the screen - isn't there any solution ?

in p6v7 Indicators cannot be viewed !
I've created UDF to use indicator but when that UDF is used in layout , indicators are not viewed on the screen (words coming out)
is there any option or something like that to make it work on the screen?
and also I'd like to get indicators on he print out .
your support will be appriciated.
he.

Depends, if you've synced with this iTunes, while that passcode was enabled, you won't be prompted to enter the passcode when connecting your phone. If you have not synced, while that passcode was enabled, you will. So, if you fall in the later, there is no way to do what you want.

Dual monitors screen management after disconnecting 2nd monitor

I have a 2nd monitor attached to my iMac and if open an app Window on the 2nd monitor the next time I start the app the Window always defaults to the 2nd monitor (even if the 2nd monitor is turned off). Since I don't always remember that the app was opened on the 2nd monitor I would like a way to force the app to default to the primary monitor so I don't always need to turn on the 2nd monitor to move the Window to the primary monitor.
I have tried using spaces for this but it does not seem to work.

Oups.. I got it Just switched the menu bar, when I shoud have switched displays... Mouse was moving to second monitor from left instead of right... Fixed.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

Hi there,
I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful. Here it is:
I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields. I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields. I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page. I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better.
I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing. The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Beth

Hi Beth
How big are these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

Dell Optiplex 780 standard size tower PC dual monitor display port graphic cards

Yes, only my boss informed me that they have to be display ports, he didn't tell me why.
I'm unable to buy from ebay or craiglist either & my local vendor doesn't have any in stock.

Quite a mouthful I know! but I need these specific graphic cards, ideally with next day delivery:

Any recommendations? I can find 2 on amazon (UK) I need 3!

G40, no external monitor screen display

I have connected an external LCD monitor (and tried a second) but the ext. monitor is unable to detect a signal.
Have tied the Presentation Director wizard and it can't see the LCD either.
It's possible that the ext. VGA port is damaged but unlikely.
Latest bios.
Anyone had similar problems?

I know that I'm probably grasping at straws here, but have you checked your BIOS settings?
Cheers,
George

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then
Does the iPod connect to/see other networks? (you were not clear)
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router

Full Screen Problem - Dual Monitors - Hulu Desktop

I am using Hulu Desktop with dual monitors. I keep Hulu on full screen on monitor #2. I use monitor #1 for computer use, etc.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to look at an app in full screen mode on monitor #1 and keep my Hulu full screen in monitor #2 at the same time. So if Hulu is playing and I open up a full screen Mail.app...the hulu screen (mon. 2) just shows that grey background.
Apple NEEDS to add a way to make the #2 monitor immune to the spaces functionality. That or make a way so that an app can stay on top of ALL SCREENS not just user-created ones.
I have seen people suggest the, "Right click the app in the dock and choose all screens" but that ONLY works for user-created desktops. It won't make the app be full screen over Mail, iCal, Address book, etc when they make their own spaces window.
Help! :-)\

That's annoying, isn't it?
It's why I quit using iTunes in full screen.
I play my movies in VLC and "maximize" the window so I can keep working on the other display. I don't knwo of any other way aorund it.

Dual-monitor setup + screen rotation

Hello, I want to use my desktop computer with a dual-monitor setup. I have connected both monitors successfully, but problems arise after this point.
The first problem is that they both just display the same screen and that xrandr only detects one screen called "Screen 0". I can change the screen resolution with it, so at least it sees things correctly, but I don't know how to extend my screen area to a new desktop. Not sure if this is relevant, but they're both monitors of the same model.
output of xrandr wrote:[user@archbang ~]$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200

1280x1024 0.0
1024x768 0.0
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0
The second problem is that I can't rotate my screen (I want this because it has pivot functionality). I'm using the xf86-video-ati driver.

How to keep Flash in Full Screen on Dual Monitors

Hi,
I have a simple question. What should I do, to make my application (written in Flex SDK 4.5.1) staying in Full screen when I work in 2nd monitor - like Youtube and Euronews player (http://www.euronews.com/news/streaming-live/) ?
I don't know, how should I embed my application correct or add something to source code to make it work? My application is working correct in Full screen mode, I can use keyboard etc. but I'm not able to make this working - it's always going back to normal when it loose focus.
I have read many topics on this forum and internet, so I'm not interested in solutions like: http://flash-full-screen-multiple-monitor.clangen.com/en/ or .dll tricks like http://lifehacker.com/5419028/keep-flash-videos-in-full-screen-on-dual-monitors
If Youtube and Euronews is working with normal Flash (my current 11.9.900.117) there must be a way?
If someone can type code examples (like for a total dummy ), it will be great.
Thank you.

You'd want to ask in the Flex forum or Flash Professional forum, since you CANNOT edit ANY Flash content with Flash Player.

IMac Dual Monitor, Mini-DP to DVI, Screen Blinking

2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram. ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics.
Been using Snow Leopard here at work, running dual monitors via Mini-DP to DVI cable. Never a problem previously.
Upgraded to Mavericks. Enjoying it. Until the 2nd monitor (Acer v223w) started intermittently blinking. Discovered I can trigger the blinking via the mail program on the second window - hiding and/or showing the info/mail activity left-side panel will cause the screen to blink.
Kinda befuddled. Any help?

I am having the excact same problem. With nearly if not an identicle system.
24" Mid 2007 iMac
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Serial Number W87***B2ZCT
Display 1: Built-in iMac Display (1920 x 1200)
Display 2: ACER 23" Wide Screen AL2223W Display (1680 x 1050)
Since I updated to the latest version of mavericks the other night I have had frequent flickering and blacking out of my screen. It happens mostly when I mouse on or mouse off my dock menu, and open programs on the second monitor. There is also little yellow and organge flickers throughout the screen from time to time almost like an interference patter, generally 1px high and 20px wide with varying degress of static.
I have tried the following with no success:
- Reset my PRAM / NVRAM
- Reset my SMC
- Deleted com.apple display related files
- Used screenResX to try and find a different Display 2 options
- Lowered resolution of Display 2
This is extremely frustrating because I am a web designer and programmer, and having my 2nd monitor not functioning basically renders my work station useless for me.

No signal to dual monitors on start up

HP ENVY Phoenix 810-170st CTO Desktop PC, windows 8.1
Two computer monitors, same models, one connected by dvi and one by hdmi. Upon start up they will randomly fail to display anything and will say "no signal, entering power saving mode". Sometimes unplugging one while the computer is still on will allow the other to start displaying and I can log in then plug the other in. Sometimes though I need to manually power off the computer, unplug one, power back up, log in and then plug the other in. Both displays work, both cables are fine, it just seems that occasionally when I power up with both displays plugged in neither will recognize it is getting a signal. Furthermore, once actually logged in I can reconnect the second display without a problem. Any ideas?

Hello naros89,
I have read your post on how you are intermittently experiencing display issues from your dual monitor setup, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
Has your computer completed all of its important Windows Updates?
Have you updated your HP drivers using the HP Support Assistant?
Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
What is the Product and Model Number of your two monitors?
In the meantime, I recommend following this document on Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 8). This should help stablize your dual-display setup by alloting one of your monitors as a primary display, and the other as a secondary.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

MechPilot
