Dual monitors not working in bootcamp?

Recently added 8 more gigs of ram, and after this my video driver shows a triangle with an ! under bootcamp running windows 7,
i have tried countless times to update the driver to no evail
even used the bootcamp drivers from the original discs to repair bootcamp and nothing has helped!!
what can i do?
before the memory upgrade the monitors worked fine under bootcamp, but now they only show 1 and will not show both!!
thanks!!
(possibly a windos 7 issues?)

Good grief, but please a) don't use Apple drivers, b) always use the "troubleshoot compatibility" for any installer (control+click on the application) before running. Apple is treated as not supported and won't install (now) with build 7077 (after feedback finding it causes errors, love the way their feedback and testing really does work).
Boot Camp can 'doorstop' in some cases a good installation.

Use Driver Sweeper and then reinstall the latest compatible driver. And no, dual monitors does work.
mine is the ati radeon 2600 hd xt and it worked flawlessly up until about 2-4 days ago,
oh well, xp pro it is then,
i dont want the headache of dealing with windows 7 beta!
xp should be fine to use correct?
will there be any other steps i will need to take in order for everything to function together well?
thanks

  • Dual monitor not working under Boot Camp on Mac Pro ATI HD 2600 XT

    Recently got a brand new Mac Pro with ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card.
    On the Mac side (Leopard), everything works perfectly: my second monitor (a plasma screen connected with HDMI to the second DVI of the ATI card via HDMI/DVI adapter) is fully recognized and it works as an extended desktop or in Mirroring mode.
    Under Boot Camp (Windows XP Pro) however, NOTHING: the second monitor always appears in the display properties, but it is grayed out (inactive), and when I try to activate it, it switches back to being grayed out immediately and nothing gets displayed on it.
    After reading all the posts I can find on the topic, I tried the following (in pretty much every possible combination - Thank god for WinClone that allows me to restore the Boot Camp basic install image without having to reinstall Windows from scratch every time):
    a) Bootcamp 2.0 (installed by default by Bootcamp assistant)
    b) Update to Bootcamp 2.1
    1) Windows XP Pro SP2c vanilla install (from my Windows XP pro install disk)
    2) Update to Windows XP SP3 (I tried with and without BC 2.1: both worked -> BC 2.1 didn't seem to be required for SP3 - maybe because this is a mac pro and not a MB or MBP)
    i) ATI drivers installed by default by Boot Camp assistant (BC 2.0) or by BC 2.1
    ii) Latest ATI drivers found on ATI web site specifically under Boot Camp / Mac Pro.
    Note: Interestingly, the catalyst installer worked ok (provided .NET framework 2.0 is installed though), but it seems that the Radeon BootCamp/Mac Pro driver set itself from ATI's web site does NOT include a driver for the HD 2600 XT - so when I install this driver set, it tells me that no compatible hardware was found...
    iii) Latest ATI drivers found under Windows XP (these did include one driver specifically for the Radeon HD 2600 XT)
    NOTHING seems to work. I read posts (most of the from late last year) about ATI Catalyst utility showing a 3rd monitor at some point, but I never got any 3rd monitor showing in any of my many many trials with Catalyst. I have yet to get a single image appear on my plasma under Bootcamp Windows. I don't believe its the hardware because everything works great on the max OS X side.
    I am actually considering switching to an NVidia 8800 GT just to get the dual screen to work under BootCamp/Windows XP because I really need it and I read everywhere that drivers for NVidia are far better than ATI ones.
    Any advice? What should I try next before getting an 8800 ?
    Is there a diagnostic utility that I can use to test my config including the GC?
    Thanks!

    Hi there aside from my laptop I have an iMac 20" with the same HD 2600 XT card. I recently installed the Catalyst 8.6 driver by using a driver mod from driverheaven, I use Vista 32. By installing it this way I got boosted performance and many issues with the bootcamp drivers were fixed. As you may already know the ATI drivers do not install on bootcamped macs usually but the mod tool fixes this. Its unofficial so do so at your own risk but try it out and see if you get the second monitor if not just rollback. Hope this helps and I didn't want to say too much about the 8.6 driver mod because it may not be allowed here but google will provide any answers.

  • Wacom intros5 and dual monitors not working

    I know there are issues with Mavericks, dual monitors & USB, but I have a problem with my Intuos5 tablet: since installing Mavericks it no longer maps to both monitors. Changing settings under monitors and wacom sys prefs does not change anything. It will only map to monitor 1.
    in fact mapping under the wacom sys prefs doesn't seem to work at all.
    Any ideas other than going back to ML or waiting for a new driver?
    Anyone seen behaviour like this?
    Thanks

  • Dual monitor not working in 2012R2 essentials anywhere access

    Hi
    I tried to connect to 2012R2 Ess anywhere access (Remote portal) from a W7Pro client using two monitors.
    Only one monitor gets used though. Can Anywhere Access be configured to enable dual monitor use in RDP sessions?
    Many thanks
    Rgds
    Willem

    Hi Willem,
    As per my research, dual monitor is supported but for that to get access you need to have Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate version. Win 7 Pro client doesn’t support. 
    Apart this issue seems more related to Essential Forum, for detail you can ask in our Essential Forum over here for more accurate details.
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserveressentials
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Dynadock U3 - Dual monitors not working using Win 7

    So in October i upgraded to Windows 8 when it came out and it didnt work properly with my Dynadock docking station.
    So i downgraded to Windows 7 using a copy i got through my school that didnt have the proper drivers for Satellite laptops.
    So last week i finally got a recovery disk from Toshiba for my laptop and reinstalled windows 7 with all the proper drivers for the laptop.
    After doing this i reinstalled the Toshiba Dynadock Drivers and tried to set it up with my laptop.
    The mouse and keyboard attached to the Dynadock station work properly with the laptop but the external monitor doesnt work at all.
    What can i do to get the external monitor working?
    Btw my BIOS is up to date as is everything else so everything should work properly. it doesnt make any sense....

    Yes it did
    it worked perfectly fine when i originally ran it on windows 7 so i think its a software issue
    but i bought the recovery disk to get my PC back to its state of when i bought it which should be like it was when i originally had it as Windows 7 but it still doesnt work
    also the keyboard and mouse attached to the docking station are a bit glitchy, sometimes it will print out a lot of a letter when i press it once. I hate this and its really getting me annoyed with Toshiba because according to the the technical support i phoned, if i bought the recovery disk, it would get the docking station working properly....
    so now i dished out $38 for a recovery disk for nothing :/

  • How do i get dual monitors to work with bootcamp (windows 7)

    i have a macbook pro intel core i7
    using a VGA adapter for connection of the monitor
    when i use the mac side the dual screens work perfectly, but when i use bootcamp with windows 7 the screen stays blank, i know it ver recognizes it because when i drag my mouse over to the right it goes out of the screen and then i have to drag for a while before its back on the mac screen, so it is being used but not being displayed. also when i first start up windows its shows the boot screen on the monitor aswel but then goes blank.

    If you are talking about MS Windows then you need to launch either Boot Camp or run it in Virtualization app such as Parallels or VM Fusion.  You also need a valid license of MS Windows.However if that is not what you mean then you must be much more specific. For example:
    "I want to share some files between my PC running Windows 7 and my new iMac running 10.9.3, how do I go about that?"

  • External monitor not working in Bootcamp

    I'm running Windows 7 on bootcamp on my Macbook Pro. The external monitor I connect to through a vga adapter works fine on the mac side, yet remains black on the windows side. THe computer recognises it and i can move files over to it, but it doesn't show up on the screen. Help!

    One have to install the drivers made by osx bootcamp to get the mac hardware woking ok in windows

  • [solved] xorg 1.6 - dual-monitor not working any more

    I switched to arch64 and with it came the new xorg 1.6. Now X won't start with the configuaration I used before and I can't figure out what to do about it.
    I want to use two monitors (laptop + external) with an Intel X4500 HD und xf86-video-intel. I found out, that it doesn't like the virtual screen I defined. If I remove that line everything works fine for the laptop-monitor. With the virtual screen defined I get an error in xorg.0.log

    Ok, I fixed it. Just added
    Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
    Option "Legacy3D" "False"
    to my device-section in xorg.conf. EXA produces the error above.
    Maybe I'm looking at the wrong point, but could someone give me a hint where I can learn more about UXA/EXA. The problem seems somehow solved, but I'd like to learn more about this and would like to understand what the problem was. Right now I don't even know what makes the difference between UXA and EXA It just works.
    And somehow google doesn't make it a lot clearer for me right now...

  • Dual Monitor not working for Mac Pro (Early 2008)

    Upon upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion yesterday I lost the ability to use my secondary monitor. Checking in System Preferences it indicates that it only sees one monitor, but nothing has changed with my hardware configuration. Is anyone else having this problem?
    Hardware specs:
    Processor  2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  26 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon X1900 XT 15 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8 (12A269)

    Not sure if this has any relation to yours, but I thought I would throw it out there...
    After installing Mountain Lion, the secondary monitor for my 27" iMac would not wake up after the computer slept. In the System Preferences, there was only the main display listed. The secondary monitor was visible from a cold boot, but disappeared once the computer slept and was woken up.
    I found that waking the system with the Magic Trackpad would not also wake the second monitor. When I wake the computer by using the keyboard, the second monitor wakes normally! I've repeated this several times... Strange.

  • Mountain Lion 1.8.2 update made my dual monitor stop working on Mac Pro mid 2012

    Just done Apple's update for Mac OS X Mountain Lion to 1.8.2 and after rebooting my dual monitor stopped working.
    If I go on preferences -> Displays it shows me only one of my two monitors, even if I invert the connections the 2nd monitor doesn't shows up and there seems no way to enable it again.
    Any suggestion?
    P.S. I already tried to set from "Best for display" to "Scaled", but after rebooting Mountain Lion 1.8.2 reset it to "Best for display"

    Ok,
    did some extra test here, but first of all my configuration:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2012) with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB.
    2 LCD 24" Wide-screen (1st monitor Hyundai W240D and 2nd Monitor HP w2448hc), both LCD worked perfectly until reboot after installing OS X 1.8.2
    After reboot only the 1st monitor wored fine, the 2nd not even listed, so tried to invert cable connections on the 2 miniports on the ATI video card, but nothing changed, still only the 1st monitor working.
    Did a second test, disconnected the 1st monitor and connected ONLY the 2nd and now the second works fine.
    Tried to connect 2nd monitor on a different miniport, and i still works fine.
    Updated my MacBook Pro to 1.8.2 (it as an nVidia card) and connected my 2nd monitor to it and everything works fine, both the laptop LCD and my HP LCD are working fine.
    So it looks like Apple screwed up the ATI driver on the latest 1.8.2, now only ONE miniport is active.
    To all users with the same Mac Pro configuration: hold to update to Mountain Lion 1.8.2 until Apple fix this driver issue.
    More info are on the Console output, so will have to contact Apple on-line support to signal this bug.

  • ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

    MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
    ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
    "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
    Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
    Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
    It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
    Are others having the same problem?
    Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

    It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
    Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
    The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
    Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
    And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
    Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

  • Seeking a clear description of getting dual monitors to work

    I've spent a long while researching the issue of getting dual monitors to work on a new mac mini - which I will be purchasing as soon as I figure this one out! But I am bamboozled by references to the various types of connections and ports. If anyone has the patience to explain this really simply and clearly, I'd be very grateful.
    Interestingly, the Apple guy on the phone today told me it isn't possible - it's either/or for the display connections. But clearly it IS possible, because there is so much discussion about it here...
    Here's where I confess my technical limitations, and say that I am confused about what I need (to purchase, presumably) to get my two existing monitors to work with the new mini.
    They are presently connected to my PC (soon to be ceremonially consigned... etc) with cables which have regular D-sub connectors at each end. This means they are vga, right? There is no digital connector on either monitor.
    So I am trying to figure out
    a) is it possible to use these two monitors in a dual display setup with a mac mini? If so:
    b) How?! And then;
    c) what leads and/or connectors do I need to buy in order to connect them up?
    Thanks for being here, I hope for some patient guidance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    An '09 Mac mini has two video out pots on the rear; a mini-DVI port and a mini-DisplayPort. The Mac mini comes with a mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter. If you use what came in the box with the mini, you need a DVI-D to VGA cable to connect one of your monitors. Otherwise you need a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA to VGA cable for one monitor. For the other monitor you need a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a VGA to VGA cable.

  • DVI out to external monitor not working anymore

    Hi,
    I have been using my MBP with an external Dell 17" LCD for a dual monitor setup. Suddenly after about 5 months of flawless working, it is not detecting the external display anymore. The display is not at fault - another powerbook detects is as ususal. I tested my MBP with another cinema display and again, it is not detecting it at all. I have tried F7 toggles and "detect display" from system preferences. No use at all.
    Any ideas?
    Should I just take it to the local applestore?
    Thanks.

    I don't know if SMC resetting fixed it or that RAM resetting fixed that issue...but now the MBP recognizes the external display all the time.
    However, it has another issue now -
