Epson Projector not working as second monitor

Does anyone know how to set up an Epson Projector to a Macbook Pro? I have a mini display to VGA adapter. We are running Bootcamp and Windows XP Pro. You can make the 2nd screen in the display properties in a continuous page. So you can see on the projection but you can not make the whole desktop a projection. So it will work as a continuous desktop but not as a primary desktop.
Any help is appreciated!

See this post. I think it will help in your situation also.

For some reason the 'Display Properties' does not always 'stick' and often does not do what you are trying to do. (at least that is what I have found) so going to the advanced settings and creating a 'scheme' has fixed issues similar to this.

  • HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working.  The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks.  I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

    The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work.  The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display.  Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays.  The need for operating USB ports is essential.  Any ideas.  The display appears entirely normal.  Am running OS X 10.9.

    Disregard, problem solved.

  • Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

    Hi,
    The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions.  Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable. 
    Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on? 
    Thanks!

    To prevent it from happing again, you can
    1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
    2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI not working, No Multi-Monitor, Jerky Mouse

    I have an iMac, 27 inch, 2009 model.
    Until today I've had a second monitor attached via the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster T260. This setup has worked perfectly well so far.
    Until today that is. Now the monitor is not recognised any more and if I try to select "Detect Displays" the mouse pointer hangs every few seconds - stops dead and then restarts again.
    What did I do to make this happen? Nothing (that i'm aware of). Haven't installed anything, not done a software update, just literally rebooted and it's not working anymore.
    _*Things that still work...*_
    The Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter works on a Mac Mini, so that's OK
    The DVI cable works fine when plugged into a PC or Mac Mini, so that's OK
    The Monitor works fine when plugged into a PC or Mac Mini, via DVI, HDMI or VGA, so that's OK
    So I've established that, in isolation, each part of the system is functioning perfectly well.
    *_Things I have tried - without success..._*
    1) Rebooting - both iMac and monitor
    2) Unplugging all cables and reconnecting then rebooting again
    3) Clearing the PRAM - done it twice just to make sure
    4) Updated to OS X 10.6.7
    5) Reset the SMC
    6) Deleted the com.apple.windowserver.plist files at /Library and ~/Library
    7) Googled for solutions - plenty of people seem to have one or the other of these symptoms...
    Can anyone shed any light on what's happened here ? Please help!
    Cheers
    Mart
    ** Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I just found a forum specifically for the iMac so posted it there but not sure how to delete this one. **

    Well, it would be interesting if that's when it had occurred. At the time, I hadn't installed 10.6.7, and hadn't installed anything immediately prior to the problem occurring.
    It doesn't seem like there's any way (a-la System Files Checker on Windows) of checking the integrity of system files which may have been corrupted, nor a way of reinstalling any update in the case of this happening - or is there a way of doing this? You don't seem to have any control over updates apart from applying them - if something does go wrong, there's no way of backing out. I guess Time Machine is the answer to my own question there.
    I'm happy that it's working now, but it was a pretty extreme fix to have to wipe the entire system. At least it wasn't a hardware issue, I'll be thankful for that!

  • Watching movies on projector hooked up as second monitor

    Hey all, here's a real good question for you. I currently have a projector (nec lt84 OLD!!!) and love it. It's hooked up to my G5 DC 2.0ghz with the 128meg geforce 6600lt (the stock video card with the dual core 2.0ghz). The projector's resolution is 1024x768 (it's native resolution is 800x600, but it runs interpolated at this higher resolution.) as I have it mirrored to a second monitor (LCD PANEL) that's at that resolution native. My projector is dying, and I'm getting a new one. I can't really afford to get one of the 1280x720 models, and I don't really watch anything on my projector except movies; which are a native 720x480. So the projector I'm looking at is a 854x480. The problem is I don't think the OS will really work well at that resolution. So what I'm wondering is, is there a way to make only the movies appear on the projector, and have the os and everything else run on the monitor at 1024x768? The projector will probably be DVI and the LCD PANEL is VGA (which I already have an adapter for to hook up to the DVI port on the G5.)
    Good luck in answering!!
    Damon
    The machine specs for the G5: 2.0ghz dual core, 1.5gb ram, 160gb hd

    Actually those extra lines make all the difference in the world. Some windows in the OSX enviroment can't be resized. So, you end up dragging the windows around the screen to get to the top or bottom of the window. If you haven't noticed, you can't drag a window past the top of the screen. Try it. So if the particular window you have is bigger than 480 pixels tall, I won't be able to click anything lower than 480 pixels. A good example of this is the system preferences pane. If you have to click an apply button or something, no go. So, is there a way to make the movies go full screen on the second monitor?

  • Firefox do not work on a monitor connected via HP USB docking station

    Firefox 4 doesn't work on a monitor connected to a HP Docking Station USB 2.0 (AY052AA#AC3). The latest Firefox 3.6 (or is it 3.7) worked perfectly on that monitor (except for Adobe flash player). I usually have that monitor in portrait mode, but neither does it work in landscape mode. I have no problem on the native display on my HP Pavilion dv7-3070ez or on the external display connected directly to the laptop.
    The picture displayed freeze with the content of Firefox 4.0 when moved into the USB connected display from another display. When moved back to one of the 2 other displays, operation returns to normal.

    I  have lost complete functionality of my Kensington Displaylink Adaptor.  It worked just fine on my iMac with Snow Leopard, but does not work with Lion.  I have one screen connected through the display port on the back of the iMac and a second connected through the Kensington DisplayLink.  No signal gets to my monitor from the dispaly link.
    I called Kensington yesterday, and the tech surpirsed to hear that Lion was now available for sale.  The tech said that they should have a new driver out in the next two weeks, but he did not inspire confidence.
    danburdi, I see that you found a Lion driver.  Could you share the link?
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS5 for Windows not working on dual monitor setup

    If I try to open Photoshop CS5 while my second monitor is plugged into my laptop (via VGA cable), it loads normally, but won't display any opened images. I get a gray background and nothing else. (see screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/f1bHcM3E )
    (I can even see the tiny image preview in the navigator, but not the image itself.)
    However, t'll work just fine if I open Photoshop with the second monitor disconnected and THEN plug it in, so it's not a problem with the dual monitors in general...just when first opening it. It's annoying because, if I'm working on a project and realize I have to make a quick image tweak in Photoshop, I have to unplug the monitor and then rearrange all my windows after Photoshop's done loading and I can plug it back in.
    Does anyone have any idea what's up with this? I can't seem to find any information online that specifically mentions this issue. For reference, I'm using Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop.
    Thanks!

    Oh, that's possible. I went and read the detailed specs for my computer and it seems like it has both Intel and NVIDIA. Could that be it? (Computer hardware issues are not my area of expertise.)

  • Suggestion menus not showing on second monitor. Firefox 29.0.1

    After upgrading to version 29.0.1 i can't see the drop down suggestion menus on my second monitor.
    The menus show as just a small black line.
    This seems to happen on my secondary monitor on all fields in websites, logins, and the search bar.
    The menus still function, I can move through values with the arrow keys.
    I'm Windows 8.1, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    The primary monitor works ok.
    Here are some examples

    This could be a bug.
    Could you test with Firefox's use of hardware acceleration disabled? There are two way to do that:
    (1) Temporarily run Firefox in its Safe Mode<br>
    (2) Turn off the setting in Firefox's regular mode.
    For #1:
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    ''Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run''
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Your non-private windows and tabs should be restored (unless you have Firefox set not to save any history).
    Any difference?
    (To return to normal mode, exit Firefox and start it again normally.)
    For #2:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This takes effect after you exit and start Firefox the next time.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Serial number does not work on second computer

    I've added a second in-design to my second laptop but the serial number does not work. What do I do?

    Please confirm if the Indesign that you have is a perpetual license or a part of CC.
    If it is a part of CC then serial number is not required. Then you can follow http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/ccm-prompt-serial-number.html
    If it is a perpetual license then let us know the exact error that you are recurring.

  • Flash 11.8 not working on Second life browsers

All i get is a black screen, no picture just sound. as i recall someone else had this issue. i think the browsers are incompatible...i dont do windows, im on a macbook pro. the last version was compatible...but id rather have a new version that does work with second life, not just firefox,safari,and chrome. so is there a version i can get or a patch for active x on mac?

    Have you tried the Adobe Flash Support Forums?

  • Epson scanner not work with Mountain Lion?

    I have an Epson Expressio 1600Pro scanner with transparency adaptor. It has worked perfectly with previous Macs using OSX 10.4. I have recently bought a MacBook pro and upgraded it to OSX 10.8. I went to Epson's website to get a new driver etc. That tells you it can only be downloaded via Mac Software Update. That was duly done and installed. System prefs lists it under printer and scanners. OK
    I have also installed Photoshop Elements 11 and expected to be able to scan direct to there but nothing seems possible. Going to Help says use Image capture or Preview. Yes! there is a small very rudimentary scanning window appears in both apps. Now the problem! Nothing happens. I have tried ALL the various meagre settings on offer, changing size, resolution, custom etc and all that happens is a small rectangle of a scan occurs but no resulting file.
    I have been on to Epson who say ONLY image capture will work with 10.8 but as it is a 3rd party software they can offer no assistance. Well image capture does NOT work. I have spent all afternoon trying various things like restarting, unplugging, reconnecting etc etc nothing.
    10.8 does seem very buggy. I have even had to stop using Mail and Safari simply because it doesn't work whereas Thunderbird and Firefox work very well.
    But I digress, does anyone have any thoughts please?

    The following comments are based on installing an Epson RX700 All-in-one printer/copier/scanner so they may not be applicable to you but, for what it's worth here they are. The RX700 scanner worked perfectly with Snow Leopard and then Lion but, when I changed to Mountain Lion, and used the app store to download and install the drivers, I lost the Epson scanner utility (ie. the user interface that gives you all the scanner options).
    However, if I used System Preferences and then the Print and Scan option, it brought up a small window where I could select either Print or Scan. Selecting Scan or Open Scanner from this window then opens up a window with all the scanner options in it, including an overview scan. This window has the option to either Hide Details (all the detailed scanner options - resolution, size, output file name etc) or Show them. As far as I can see, this window is actually the Image Capture app, although it doesn't say so.
    It might be a long shot but try changing the Auto Selection box in this window to one of the other options (eg. "Detect Separate Items") or setting the "Scan to" to a file.
