Dual monitor use on MacBook with BootCamp

I have a Client using the new 24" LED Display with his MacBook.
He only want to use the External display and close the notebook when he is in the office.
This works OK in OS X, he closes the lid so the laptop sleeps, and then wakes it again from the external keyboard. (If there is a better way, let me know)
The problem we having is on Windows in BootCamp this does not work, the laptop display starts up and he claims the machine heats up quickly in this mode... not to mention the pointer jumping to the extended monitor.
Any Ideas?
thanks

You might want to post this issue over on the Boot Camp thread since it relates to using Boot Camp and MS Windows.

  • Dual-monitor use on Pavilions with MS-7778 (JasmineR) motherboard

    I note that all models of Pavilion with the MS-7778 (Jasmine) motherboard (for AMD) indicate on the spec sheet "
    DVI and VGA ports (Can be used at the same time)"  with integrated graphics.  But NONE of the models that use the R revision (MS-7778 (JasmineR) motherboard specify on their spec sheet the possible use of DVI and VGA at the same time with integrated graphics.
    I require the simultaneous use of both ports for a two-monitor setup.  I ordered a Pavillion 500-056  (with the JasmineR motherboard) that is on the way here (a factory refurb) and if I open the box it will not be returnable.  Now I am afraid that the JasmineR systems do not support both ports being used together.  Can anyone offer a definitive answer to this question?
    Thanks,
    Stan

    Hi,
    I have not seen many if any of the newer HP PCs except maybe for the very low end that don't support two monitors.  I have no reason to believe that two monitors are not supported.  The integrated HD8570D GPU in the AMD A8-6500 does support multiple monitors by design. 
    Contact HP Support and see what they say about HP Pavilion 500-056 with the MS-7778 (JasmineR) motherboard.  If you don't like the answer then you have a decision to make.
    HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.
    I'll ask internally if anyone in HP knows a definitive answer for your question.  Look for a personal message (PM) but it might take a day or two to get an answer.
    Office Depot stocks this model so if a store is close then you might wonder in and ask to see this unit working with two monitors.  Seeing is believing.

  • Issues using macbook with bootcamp and external apple monitor

    I am having issues using an apple external monitor connected to my macbook with bootcamp - in particular, if i connect the monitor to the computer when the computer is already on, it won't work. Also, when i disconnect the monitor fromt he computer, the computer screen will go black and I'll have to re-start
    Anybody experienced the same and can help?
    Thx

    just make sure that while its standing on its side there aren't any plugs or cables on that side. I'm not familiar with the mb port setup, but having power, two usb, and a display cable could prose a problem for sideward standing if they are on separate sides of the machine.
    as the first commenter mentioned the orientation of your computer is irrelevant, but you wouldn't want to have the weight of the laptop sitting ontop of a usb or video plug that's coming out the side.

  • How do I set-up my TV as a dual monitor for my MacBook Pro?

    Hi
    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running (OS X 10.8.2) Mountain Lion, and recently I rearranged my home workspace so that I can view my TV from my desk while I work.
    I would like to set-up my TV as a dual monitor for my MacBook Pro, so I can stream videos on my TV screen and have the whole screen to do work on my MacBook Pro at the same time.
    Is this possible? I've seen people use TVs as a mirror display (where it works as their main and only monitor), but never as a fully operational dual display.
    As an example, I would like to have my MacBook screen showing a desktop with the whole screen devoted to Photoshop, while I have another desktop running on my TV, which shows an internet browser or other application.
    If this is possible, what cords/hardware would I need, and what are the settings that will enable me to do this?
    - My TV is a modern flatscreen LCD, and it has two HDMI ports in the back.
    - It's about 9-10 feet from my desk.
    If anyone could help, that'd be awesome!
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can do that.
    You'll need a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/moshi-mini-dp-to-hdmi-adapter-with-a udio-support
    and an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV
    (look on Amazon or Monoprice for the best price on any of those parts)
    In your display options, you will just choose extended desktop vs mirrored display.

  • Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

    Hi,
    I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
    I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
    Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
    Thanks in advance.

    A little solution that has helped me.
    install both
    Notebook Hardware Control (NHC)
    http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm#anchor_download
    Notebook Hardware Control has a Max Battery setting when you right click on it's icon in the notification section on the task bar (lower right). Make sure to apply this setting.
    and as suggested by Kappy
    Input Remapper
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
    This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
    The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
    I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
    My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.

  • Dual monitors for my macbook pro

    I want to use dual monitors for my macbook pro but I am getting mixed answers as to if that is possible. I want to use just the two monitors, so basically I am thinking I will plug my macbook into the monitors, close my macbook and use a blue tooth mouse and keyboard on the two monitors. I want to know if that is possible. Also, I am wondering about the adapters. I know that one end should be the thunderbolt and then the other end will have whatever the monitor needs (DVI/VGA) but all the adapters I see only have one place to plug a monitor in, and I will be need two.

    It is possible.
    I currently use a thunderbolt to vga adaptor and a usb to vga adaptor to run two independent monitors.
    However, the usb to vga adaptor is not great.  I'm using an Eclipse See2 UV159 but the screen does not come out as good as the thunderbolt to vga adaptor. 
    I'm currently looking for a better adaptor.

    Do you have a Japanese name?   If not, you would have to make one up to type it in Kanji.  What exactly are you trying to do?

  • Using a MacBook with ONLY a Power Adapter

    HI!
    is it possible to use my MacBook with just the power adapter? The current batter and adapter are both dead, and I'm pretty low on cash. So I was thinking I would purchase a new adapter in Amazon. Thoughts? Thanks.

    Yes, you can use it on just the power adapter, without a battery installed.
    There is a significant performance decrease when a functional battery is not installed, but it will still work without a battery, just not as fast.
    Here is one of many links on the subject:

  • Using my MacBook with an external monitor

    Hi,
    I'm currently using my MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo ,2.4 GHz, Memory: 4 GB, GMA X3100) with an external 19" Dell monitor and I was thinking to buy a 22" but then I started wondering if this computer would handle a 22" monitor.
    Will this MacBook handle a 22" monitor? If yes, will I see some slow-downs? In other words will I see a difference in speed with a bigger monitor?
    Thanks a lot!

    I use this adapter to come from the MacBook's Mini-DVI port....
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU1MTM
    ....and this cable to connect to the TV via one of the HDMI ports...
    http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6
    ...the audio has to be run through an audio cable from the Headphone port on the MacBook....3.5mm mini-jack to RCA...(Mini-DVI port does not carry sound)...
    I use a wireless keyboard and mouse to access the TV and MacBook from across the room....just change the input signal to toggle from TV to MacBook...(nice)
    Someone else will have to explain any differences between the HDTV's and monitors...

  • NF750 with Dual Monitors using Internal Video issue

    I'm currently trying to get this motherboard to output using both the builtin DVI, and HDMI for a dual monitor setup.
    Unfortunately what is happening is, first, while in windows with current output to DVI, connecting the HDMI, the monitor is not detected. When booting up with the HDMI it will be detected as long as the DVI is not plugged in. If both are plugged in, neither will show a screen.
    Has anyone else had this issue and managed to fix it?
    I have also updated to the latest nforce drivers, and bios.
    Thanks for the help

    I don't believe its possible to use both digital outputs (DVI and HDMI) simultaneously.
