Dual Monitor/View problem......

I am having a problem running my dual monitors with my MSI gf4 ti 4200 128mb card...... i re-installed my drivers (i tried 30.00's and 30.82's) and they work fine, but once i reboot or change the resolution it'll show 4 monitors in my device manager instead of 2, and my resolution cannot change from 840x480x32 (used to be only 840x480x8 )....atleast i have 32 bit now.... but i think its cause the other 2 useless monitors are using up the resources for this settings, because when they arent installed it will let me go higher in resolution...... any experts here know anything about a fix or solution for all those monitors using "EXTEND MONITOR ONTO DESKTOP" without having 4 monitors showing? thx in advance,
RaZoR
ps.... i tried uninstalling the monitors but they just keep reappearing.....any MSI tech's know what i should do??

set "first display" - monitor. !

Dual Monitor Startup Problem on MacPro - Solved

I have a model 53135LL/A = mid 2010 MacPro with 8 cores, DUAL monitor cards and monitors, 24GB memory, running Lion 10.7.3. It is important to note that I am also using the Apple bluetooth Magic Mouse and the smaller, bluetooth keyboard (no numeric keypad). This unit was supplied with Lion in December 2011 and has had a startup problem from the beginning as follows:
1 - when starting from a cold start the dual monitor positions are reversed from the correct position
2 - additionally the USB and firewire connected devices (e.g. Wacom tablet, 2 card readers) do not function properly.
The workaround for me has been to start the system, wait for the logon screen, then click restart. Upon restart everything comes up and functions correctly.
Specifics on my setup and starting problems:
1 - My main monitor (Monitor #2) is a large gamut monitor that is located to the right. This monitor is connected to card slot 1 as that is the faster card slot (pcx16). The second monitor (Monitor #1) is an ordinary unit and connected to card slot 2 (pcx4). The monitors are set up as an extended desktop.
2. The Wacom tablet (Intuous 3 wide) is connected to USB port on rear of machine. CF card reader by Delkin is connected to Firewire on rear of machine, and an SD card reader is connected to USB on the rear of the machine.
3. My dock is positioned on the left side of the left monitor. The menu bar is along the top of the left monitor, and all desktop icons are on the left monitor. The right monitor has no items on it.
On a typical cold start, as mentioned above, the apple logo appears on the right and then the logon screen appears on the right.
If I proceed to logon at that point, all the desktop items move to the right monitor and the computer thinks the positions are reversed. In other words, it behaves as though the right monitor (#2) is on the left of the desktop and left monitor (#1) is on the right.
Additionally, the Wacom tablet using either pen or mouse does not map over the full desktop range. If I use either card reader and then eject the card, no further card insertions will be recognized.
To fix this, I simply restart the machine thru the apple menu and everything comes up correctly.
I had discovered, that instead of completing the logon on a bad cold start, I could simply restart from the logon screen and all would work correctly.
On occasion, the logon screen would come up on the left monitor (as it should do) and in that case, if I log on all works correctly.
I have worked with Apple support on the phone, clearing setup ram etc. Have had the unit in to Apple store for hardware check, all OK. Next suggestion was reload OS and start over - no thanks.
SO - Here is the latest.
If I turn off my keyboard and mouse before starting the machine, then wait for the logon screen to appear - It starts correctly, with the logon screen on the left. I can then turn on my keyboard and mouse and all works as it should.
Bottom line - there appears to be a startup issue with Bluetooth devices from a cold start. Note that once the machine has been used for a bit, I can turn it off for short periods of time (e.g. 30 minutes) and it will start correctly even with the mouse and keyboard turned on.

Dual monitor sleep problem

I have dual monitors and with 10.5.1 my second monitor will not open after it has gone to sleep. I have to shut down and start over. A simple restart will not bring it back up. I have never had this problem before. Any help??

Welcome to the Apple Forums.
In System Preferences (found under the Apple Menu in the menu bar), look at the Display pane to see if both screens are recognized by the system. Click on the Detect Displays button. This will force the system to connect to the monitor and will show you if there is an OS problem, or perhaps a hardware problem.
I keep the "Show displays in the menu bar" checked so that I can access it through the Display image in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen.
My experience is that different monitors have different capabilities of connection to the computer- some have to be "detected" every time; some connect, but have to be changed from a mirror to a span or repositioned in the arrangement pane; some just "work right"
Good luck. Joel.

Dual monitor setup problems... help.

Hi all,
(Arch 0.8 & NVIDIA drivers)
I'm having some troubles setting up a dual monitor set-up on my machine... every time I save the settings after configuring them in the NVIDIA control panel they don't seem to save when I start the OS! I've also messed with the config file, so how do I set it back. At the mo it picks up the CRT monitor only & not the LCD.
There are Two monitors hooked to it, one LCD (main DVI) & the other CRT (to the right of the LCD). I want the LCD one to be the primary one.

CS3, Wacom, Dual Monitors mapping problem.

Greetings!
I have a PC running WinXP and PS CS3. I have my Wacom Intuos 3 set to map dual monitors and it is working perfectly in every application EXCEPT photoshop, which is the one i need it most in! When i click onto PS with my Wacom pen, it limits my cursor to the upper left 2/3 of the screen. If i use my laptop trackpad in PS it works fun across both monitors, as it does in my browsers and everything else.
Is there a setting i have to tweak in PS to get it to accept the Wacom dual monitor settings? I have it all set up correctly on Wacom''s end. (as far as i can tell)
I know theres a solution to this cause every other artist i know with this set up has it working, so please let me know what i'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

Thank you for your comment. However, i can only think it has to be PS related because it ONLY goes screwy when click onto PS. I tried setting it to only one monitor on the Wacom, and it works perfectly on everything else but as soon as i go on to PS it changes the settings on me. Again, this is ONLY when i use my Wacom. otherwise, it works as expected.
I've tried setting it to only one monitor and putting PS there, but as soon as i click onto it (with my wacom), it reverts to the other monitor (set as my main screen) automatically.
very frustrating.
any other ideas?

Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in. I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor. I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc... I select full screen viewing. A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape. However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor. This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV. I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

Monitor viewing problem

When I print to video the sequence records fine onto tape but when I just want to use my video camera as a monitor the picture stays on freeze frame. It's like the camera is on pause or something. Why can't I view it as a moving picture?

Photoshop CS5 Mac Dual Monitor color problems

Hi all,
I know this problem has been raised before, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer - there is a lot of conjecture and opposing opinions so I'm trying to get to the bottom of this once and for all.
Gear: MacBook Pro, Photoshop CS5, Wacom Cintiq 12WX as second display, Mac OS X 10.7.4
Problem: Photoshop seems to only use the Monitor Profile of the main display (i.e. the one with the menu bar in System Preferences>Displays>Arrangement) - some people say yes, this is the case, some people say no, Photoshop uses independent profiles for each display.
Manifestation: If I set my MacBook screen to the main display, color looks good in Photoshop on the MacBook and terrible on the Wacom and vice-versa. However, in Lightroom and other applications changing the main display makes no difference to the output on each display.
Preferred solution: I would like to have my MacBook as my main display with menu bars and dock etc, but then I want the Cintiq to be the display I use in Photoshop, for obvious reasons. In my workflow, I would like to have my image open in 2 windows, one on the Cintiq for retouching and one on the MacBook to check progress and color etc
Curveball: I have a trial of CS6 and the problem seems to be fixed (maybe, my eyes and sense of reason are fried)
Many thanks for any help anyone can shed
Simon

Make sure you have all the updates installed for Photoshop.
Apple introduced new bugs in their display and window update pipelines in 10.7, which we didn't get a chance to completely work around until Photoshop CS6.
We tried to work around them as best we could in the dot releases for CS5.

Dual monitor profile problem

Macbook pro 4,1 , epson 4800, Dell 24" wide gamut display and I'm having the exact same problems as this 3 year old thread!!!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7289716#7289716
Can't print using profiles as wrong profile gets applied. This all happens with laptop NOT in clamshell mode, which I prefer so that I can use all screen real estate.

Call Epson support and see if they can give you a complete trouble-shooting algorithm.
The following works for me (I don't think it will work for you, but it may give some leads to explore):
- I keep the menu bar on my laptop
- I put Aperture on my wide-gamut monitor (NEC PA271W)
- I keep secondary display set to "Desktop"
- I never run full-screen
- I confirm the monitor profile at least once a day, and every time I change monitors (I work in two locations, ea. with an external monitor). By "confirm" I mean that I re-assign the profile, not that I re-calibrate the display.
- I have the external monitor connected directly with an mfr-supplied mini-DisplayPort (iirc) to DisplayPort (iirc) cable. This was important.
- I had to take some care with the Epson set-up. All I can suggest here is most recent drivers. I first got the USB connection to finally work, and then got the Ethernet connection to work properly as well.
I mention all of that because in the thread you linked there are comments about both the external monitor not using the correct profile, as well as the printer not using the correct profile.
I would first confirm (you likely already have) that the printer works properly printing from Aperture with no external monitor. After that, things get tricky.
What I picked up from some poking around and talking with knowledgeable people is that OS X does not do a good job with color. (I was surprised.)
Sorry I don't have any real help to provide. Good luck.

Dual Monitors-View stylesht in Code Insp?

Is it possible to view the css stylesheet in the Code Inspector window on my secondary monitor?
Many thanks.

But I'll tell you the truth, with DW's CSS navigator and CSS inspect mode, I don't see any real appeal to this contorted arrangement.
I'm with you there Murray.
I've shifted my workflow so I now prefer to view CSS via the browser developer tools (F12 in IE, Firebug, etc).
So I save in DW on my LHS monitor then refresh the browser views in my RHS monitor and inspect/tweak the CSS from there. Then I go back to DW and commit the CSS changes.

Question about dual monitors - view stretching across both screens

I recently switched from my desktop to a ProBook 4710s. The laptop is plugged into dual LG monitors. On my old desktop, I could keep the Photoshop program in one window (I could maximize it in one window) and drag the toolbar to the second window. Now, when I maximize, it stretches across both screens. This is pretty inconvenient, in that the image is cut by the borders of the screens (unless I unpin it). I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

The HP website says the laptop only supports 1 VGA external monitor. What adapter are you using to split the VGA port and have you contacted the company to see how to make it show how you want? I found nothing on the HP site on running 2 monitors and a adapter to do it.

Dual Monitor Resolution Problems

I have the ATI 2400HD card in my iMac and I checked here on the Apple site and it says it supports resolution upto 1920x1200. Now when I connected a new LCD monitor with that resolution the max available is 1680x1050. Do I have to update the driver for the video card and add that resolution?

Are you using the DVI mini to DVI or VGA adaptor? What kind of LCD is it? brand/model/size=?
You are correct it should be able to go up to 1920x1200 according to the tech specs:
+"Mini-DVI video out with support for DVI, VGA, S-video, and composite video output (requires adapter, sold separately) Support for external display with digital resolution up to 1920 x 1200, analog resolution up to 2048 x 1536"+

HP Pavilion p6240f Dual Monitor setup problems

My HP Pavilion p6240f desktop has two on board monitor conections. VGA and DVI. Can I connect two monitors to my computer? My operating system is windows 8. Only my VGA monitor is working. Only one monitor shows up in Device Manager.I also tried using detect in display settings. Please help

dighaysus,
Yes, your HP Pavilion p6240f Desktop Computer can support two monitors at the same time. One monitor must accept a VGA analog signal and the other monitor must accept a DVI-D (HDMI with adapter) digital signal.
Please provide the brand and models of the two monitors, so we can determine if you have a supported configuration.
