Help installing two monitors

Greetings
We just purchased an Envy 700-215xt. We also purchased two Pavilion 23xi monitors to hook up to it. The monitors came with both a VGA and a DVI cable. There is an HDMI port on the monitor but not on the computer and there is no HDMI cable. Is one monitor meant to connect using VGA and the other using DVI or do I somehow connect one monitor to the other?
thank you in advance

How to install two monitors--

-HP pavilion h8xt, two acer monitors (w. both vga and dvi and also an add'l dvi plug on the graphics card. Monitors came with a double ended dvi cord. Can I plug one monitor into the dvi of the graphic card and the other monitor into the other dvi plug on the computer back? I understand that once they come up, I must do some adjustment in the settings but I am not sure how to comfigure the plug in of the monitor cords to start with. Thanks for any help-

Since you didn't supply the model number and/or product number we can only guess at what your computer's spec are. Please provide this information for more detailed assistance.
Guessing that you both integrated graphics on the motherboard and a discrete video card, NO you can't use both sets of outputs at the same time. With a video card installed, the integrated ports are disabled and are not usable. The following appear to have been video graphics card option in the h8xt series;
1GB DDR3 Radeon HD 6570 [DVI, HDMI. VGA adapter]
2GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
1GB DDR3 Radeon HD 6670 [DVI, HDMI, DP, VGA]
3GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 [DVI, HDMI, VGA]
1GB DDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti [2 DVI, mini-HDMI. VGA adapter]
1GB DDR5 Radeon HD 6850 [2 DVI, 2 mini-DP, HDMI. VGA adapter]
1.5GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 [2 DVI, HDMI, VGA adpt]
The 2 listed in above in RED will support 1 monitor using the DVI-to-VGA adapter and the other monitor using a HDMI-to-DVI cable. The 5 listed in above in GREEN will support 2 monitors using the DVI.

Need Help 'installing' 21" monitor

I need to place a 21" Sun monitor in a Monitoring Wall, where space is tight due to the small doors on the front. There are doors in the back, but they are unreachable. There is enough room if I take off the bottom foot that the monitor stands on.
I checked the bottom and I can only find one screw. The foot seems to be held in by a snap-in type fastener. Could someone please give me some suggestions or point me to the right place to look?
Thank you in advance,
Jim

The iMac G5 can only mirror the internal display unless you hack the firmware.
Display options like that only appear when you connect a display which is why you can't see them on the MB at the moment.

TX1250ea thinks two monitors are installed

My laptop thinks that in addition to being connected to its own screen, it is also connected to second display (which it is not). The NVIDIA control panel calls this display an HDTV whereas Vista display settings calls it "Generic Non-PnP monitor on NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150". Device Manager shows two monitors - Generic Non-PnP Monitor and Generic PnP Monitor.
When starting up or resuming the computer from sleep the computer gets very confused and starts continuously switching the display between the laptop display, the non-existent display and attempting to display the same screen on both displays. Windows Presentation settings also switches itself on and off during this switching process.
I can sometimes (but not always) stop this from happening by using the NVIDIA Control Panel and telling it to use the Laptop Display only (which is very difficult as the mouse moves back to the centre of the screen on each switch). However, sometimes the computer settles on using the external non-existent display only, with a black screen on the laptop, and sometimes it settles for attempting to display the same image on both screens. In this cases, it sets the resolution to 720x480 in a tiny box in the middle of my laptop display.
I have disabled the non-pnp monitor in device manager, but this hasn't helped.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Hey Whitestar, This seems to have been posted a long time ago, But I signed in just to answer this question as long as you are still having the problem. But hey if anyone else comes along they'll have this answer.
If you are running windows 7 Here is the fix (I just had this same problem) but you right click your desktop and click the "screen resolution" Option, Click on the second monitor and go to the last setting, (should be the fourth dropdown box) And change it to "Remove this display" and click Apply.
There you have it, one monitor detected.

M92p HELP!!! About to return 6 new M92p due to Problems with two monitors.

Hope someone can help. Just unpacked last week six (6) brand new M92p with dual 24" monitors. Unfortunatelly the monitors are NOT from Lenovo since Lenovo does not sell color calibrated monitors.
The problem we are having is that we have tried connecting the two monitors using different conbinations of the 3 or 4 available video connectors on the back of the machine.
only ONE monitor works at 1920x1200, the other defaults to 640x480.
All the machines have a video card with 2GB. The video card has a DVI and a VGA port. The motherboard has VGA and DisplayPort. We tried one cable to DVI on video card the other on VGAon video card. Then we tried One cable on video card another on motherboard.
I also disable the motherboard video in BIOS; that did not work either.
NOTHING works!!! I am about to repack all these equipment and send them back.
If anyone has any solution to this issue, please let me know.
Thanks!

Possible driver issue. Have you run Windows Update and Lenovo System Update?
Also, beware of the BIOS settings for multi-monitor: http://support.lenovo.com/en_NL/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT062228

HELP! How to install two versions of the same driver???

Hello,
Here is my scenario... I am a video chat host on different sites. I recently purchased two of the same Creative Live! Ultra webcams. When I try to broadcast on the 2nd site with the 2nd camera the other goes fuzzy and starts freaking out.
Is there a way to install two versions of the driver and run both cameras at once without conflict? Please advise what to do since I would like to use these cams.
Thank you for your help.

Want to install Two 1tb HDD, is posible?? Help.

Hi guys, i have a Pavillion Elite m9177c and have a 2 320gb. I have problems with pc is very slow, it freezes, wjen i make the diagnostic it says BIOHD-8 check for
Virus,adware,defrag and same thing.
I installed two
Extra memory 2gb each for a total of 8gb. (total max of this pc)
I think i have to buy a new hard drives and start again. Can this pc support 2 hdd of 1tb each? I want to Install WD Caviar Black. Any suggestions apprecciate.

Your original confg on the m9177c utilized (2) 320GB drives in tandem for 640GB total. That means files swapped between drives.
The best, and simpliest answer is to put in a single 1T. It will be more efficient.
BTW, better get that 1T soon, as the BIOHD-8 error is your warning of impending doom.

How can i use two monitors in my application?

Hello,
Background
I have a dual monitor card and two monitors which I want to use in my LabView application. The application gathers data from a complex sensor and calculates a number of results which need to be displayed graphically, this happens every 10 seconds or so. There is an awful lot of graphs which may be needed to be seen at some time but not routinely. The idea is that one monitor will display all the standard routinely displayed things and will not have any user input whilst the second monitor will display a tab control which has all the other graphs pickable.
Question
What I want to know is how I can programmatically tell labVIEW to put one vi up in one monitor and another vi in the other. I would then have them both maximised (which I know how to do). I would rather have the monitors set up as individual and that way I could keep the windows control bar on one monitor only. Thus one monitor would be a true user interface and the other simply a display.
Basically how do I tell LabVIEW to use one monitor for a specific vi and not the other.
The card I have is a matrox p650. Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards
Kevin

Hallo,
with new version of LV its more easy, but it also hasn't any troubles with LabVIEW 6.x or 7.x.
Especially with Matrox P650 you will get no any problems (we using
exactly this card together with G550 and our application supported
three monitors at the same time.).
I recommend to you following sequence:
- After installing driver turn on option for supporting different
resoluton on different monitors. As result you will get two absolutely
separate monitors.
- In Windows define which one is primary and which one is secondary.
(On primary monitor located taskbar and all messages dialog boxes will
appear.).
- Arrange secondary monitor in display properties - where he located (left from primary, or right)
- In your VI (which must appear on second monitor) use
FrontPanel.PanelBounds Property Node for positioning. You must set four
values for two corners. Easiest way to found right values is following:
read this property node in while loop and put indicator on front panel.
Then run VI, drag front panel onto second monitor and resize if
necessary, and then you will see right values for PanelBounds. You can
write this property node programmatically in run-time too.
hope it help,
good luck.

Help with dual monitors

I installed Arch on an old Asus MB, and have spent a couple days trying to get dual monitors working. The board is a P4S8X-X with no onboard video, an AGP slot, and six PCI slots.
First, I tried using an AGP card together with a PCI card with no luck. I tried using two ATI pci video cards, again no good.
So, I downloaded a MB manual and discovered that the PCI slots and the AGP slot are all shared. Quote the manual: "When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support 'Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable."
I'm wondering if dual monitors are possible with this board. I have another Asus board with an AGP and three PCI slots apparently not shared.
Couple years ago, I installed dual monitors on my FreeBsd computer, using two cards on an MSI board, with no trouble. What I'm looking for is two independent monitors, each able to run an application. I use the JWM window manager. I haven't posted an xorg.conf file as there have been too many to display.
Any help is appreciated.

Problem solved. I switched motherboards and dual monitors are running.

How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
Could anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks.

You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface. You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

HT5019 How do I get extended display mode on two monitors off a MB?

I've tried to find answers on other threads but no luck. Is it possible to connect two monitors to a 2008 unibody MB (mavericks) to use extended display? I've never had a problem with using one monitor (mini dvi to vga) as an extended display and now I'd like to add a second monitor via a vga splitter. I thought upgrading to mavericks would solve this but no luck. It's only letting me mirror displays. The "arrangement" option in display prefs not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I never for one second thought this would be so complicated.

Exactly what Bob Levine said. Can confirm, running a two monitor display here.

I cant get two monitors to work on one pc.

Does anyone know why i cant get two monitors working on one pc?
I have a HP P6 2000 UKM computer, running windows 7 and it has a DVI D socket as well as the standard VGA (which i am using for my primary monitor) I have got the right DVI to VGA adaptor and have followed various instructions to set up duel disply but every tutorial i have seen says use the multiple display option, but the option dropdown box is not there!
Iv'e tried two different monitors but he same problem. If my graphics card does not suport 2 monitors then why is there a DVI D socket?
Have never had this problem in the past!
Please help.

Hi,
Please post the exact HP product number for your PC.
VGA is analog and DVI-D is digital. If you have two monitors then one of them needs to support a digital video signal if you want to use two monitors

Please help with strange monitor/Lightroom 4 interaction problem

I bought a Dell Ultrasharp U3011 yesterday, and I'm now facing a very strange problem. It's sort of related to the common discussed issue of Lightroom's color management, but there is a twist here. I'll explain.
The monitor I had been using (and still have) was a Samsung SyncMaster 244T. I had no problems at all with it.
With the U3011, I've run into this problem:
-When I view files in Lightroom 4, the colors are muted and contrast low. The same files seen in Xnview, ACDSee Pro (with the color management turned off), Digital Photo Professional (colorspace set to sRGB), are much more vivid. In Photoshop, if I use the default color setting, it looks muted like Lightroom (I'm guessing because Adobe products have default color profile set to ProPhoto RGB), but if I set the color profile to the monitor's profile, it becomes vivid and matches the other software I mentioned. If I use any other profile such as sRGB IEC81966-2.1, ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, etc, it doesn't match the other software I mentioned. This is strange because the other ones match each other because they are set to sRGB, but in Photoshop, even if I set the color profile to sRGB, it still doesn't match.
-In Lightroom 4, even if I use Soft Proofing, nothing changes. It's as if Soft Proofing is broken--it doesn't do anything, no matter what color profile I choose.
-Now, here's the twist. I didn't have any of these problems when I use the 244T. This leads me to assume that the problem is how the U3011 is interacting with Lightroom. I did a quick comparison of opening up the same image on both monitors in ACDSee Pro, and they looked identical. (At this point, I had the U3011's preset set to sRGB. This is the only preset that makes the U3011 look identical to the 244T).
Next, I did an experiment, and I was very surprised by what happened. This is what I did:
With both monitors as a dual display setup, I turned on Before/After comparison in Lightroom (made sure both version had the same setting and look identical by copying the After's setting to Before). I then moved Lightroom's window so that one photo is seen on the U3011, and the other shows up on the 244T. And OMIGOD, they looked different! Why is this happening? I've already established that the same image looks identical on both monitors when viewed with ACDSee Pro, but in Lightroom, they looked different on each monitor.
And then things got even more weird. When I dragged the Lightroom window fully to one monitor or the other, Lightroom actually started changing the colors right before my eyes as it responded to which monitor was displaying which photo! Lightroom was somehow interacting with the monitor in real-time. So if the Before looked muted on U3011 and the After looked vivid on the 244T, when I drag the whole window into 244T, the muted Before will stay muted for about a second or so, and then it'll suddenly change and become identical to After. And when I did the reverse (drag the window into U3011), the reverse also happened--the vivid After will stay vivid on U3011 for about a second or so, and then it would suddenly change and become muted. Lightroom was identifying each monitor's color profile setting and changing the images according to which monitor was doing the displaying, and when the images were split between the two monitors, Lightroom was slitting them into two different settings to match whichever monitor is displaying which side.
So what the hell does that all mean, and what can I do to get Lightroom to display the photos so that they look the same as on all the other software I mentioned (so I don't have to play the guessing game of editing the images, export them out to other software to check how they turned out). Also, remember that I didn't have this problem with the 244T--Lightroom displayed the photos the same way as the other software I mentioned. The problem right now is that the U3011 is somehow causing Lightroom to display the photos differently, and no color profile presets in the OSD control can make them match.
I need to solve this problem, or else my last resort would be to return the U3011 and try another brand/model and see if that helps.
Any ideas?

Yes, that's basically sensible advice you got there (but I was more succinct ).
An important point that was mentioned over there is that you must not confuse document/source profile with monitor profile. They are both links in the color management chain, but they serve different purposes. The document profile defines the colors in a standard color space. The monitor profile describes the monitor's own native color space - its response to the RGB numbers it's fed. So one is translated into the other, by the application on the fly, through a normal profile conversion, and that way the colors appear on-screen as intended.
If those two profiles/color spaces are roughly similar, as they would be in the case of an sRGB document displayed on a standard gamut display - then you can get by without color management. It won't look too far off. But a wide gamut monitor changes the rules, because its native color space is not similar to sRGB, it's much closer to Adobe RGB.
Anyway, this is what color management is about. Any profile can be translated into any other. So in this context it doesn't really matter what color space the document is in - as long as you have a good monitor profile it will display correctly (within practical limitations). Lightroom is a sort of special case because its internal working color space is not one of the standard ones, instead it's a modified ProPhoto space with linear gamma. But the basic principle is exactly the same: source profile > monitor profile.
Just to go a little more in-depth while I'm at it: When you calibrate a display you actually do two separate things. You first calibrate it to a more or less standardized response. But that's just a linear one-dimensional correction. It does nothing about how color is actually reproduced, how red is red for instance. The calibration is global and affects everything system-wide because it's read into the video card or monitor hardware.
Then, once calibrated, a monitor profile is made. This is a full, complete and accurate description of the monitor's behavior, in three-dimensional color space. The precision level is much higher. This profile is used, by color managed applications like Lightroom and Photoshop, to display the image.
Other applications that are not color managed will simply ignore this profile, and send the RGB numbers straight through to the display, unmodified. With a standard gamut monitor (and an sRGB document) the difference won't be too dramatic and you may not notice it unless you look closely. But a wide gamut monitor will make the difference jump out immediately.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
