HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1126 with 2 monitors has screen resolution issue

I have 2 HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1126 PC with HP 2031 dual monitors on each computer. Both computers were first started with only 1 monitor and everything worked great. I have now added a second monitor to the DVI output on each and the monitors on both systems connected to the DVI don't display correctly. I checked the display settings and the number 1 monitor said PnP Generic Monitor and number 2 monitor said HP 2031. I did a detect on the display and it did not change. I switched the monitors and the monitor connected to the DVI is still incorrect. There is no option to change the resolution either on the number 1 monitor. It appears to me that it just does not recognize the monitor. The strange thing is that both computers are doing this. I set an identical system up last week and it worked great. Any help will be great

@Clay...
Please read the info at this other post; New HP Pavilion PC Can't Change Monitor Resolution. The common thread here, seems to be AMD Hudson Socket FM1 systems using DVI (digital) output with 20" LCD monitors. And your setup falls into this category.

Does a New iMac Always Open With The Correct Screen Resolution?

This may sound a daft question but the other day I visited a friend and when he switched his 2 year old 24" iMac on, I was horrified to see black bands down each side of the screen.
It was obvious he had an incorrect resolution. . . . . I think it turned out to be 800x600!
Anyway I reset it to the correct 1920x1200 and he was amazed at the improvement!
I asked him how it had got like that and he said it had always been that way.
My immediate suspicion was that he had bought the machine second-hand from some idiot who had been fiddling with it but he assured me he had bought it new and that's how it had been from the start.
From what I remember, all my computers have started off with the correct screen resolution and haven't needed any resetting.
Any idea why this happened?

Thanks Barbara and den.thed.
Your suggestions will be helpful for anyone with a similar problem looking at this thread, however, they don't apply in this case. (Hope that doesn't sound bad! LOL)
This friend bought the iMac a couple of years ago simply to edit with Final Cut Pro. He doesn't use it for anything else and it isn't even connected to the internet. (He uses a PC for all mundane chores like that).
He claims that upon initial startup it displayed the 4:3 desktop image and assumed it was normal for his machine . . . . . . . . though he must have seen others in the shops displaying correctly.
Incidentally it may not have been 800x600, but it was certainly an incorrect 4:3 aspect ratio.
As he is a very intelligent and skilled film maker and editor I am surprised that he never queried it, after years of using PCs.

Screen Resolution issue with most third party Apps

I have noticed that the screen resolution on my new iPhone 6 is not the same across the apps. For example when I open Facebook, the fonts seems to be like a little blurred and the background appears blurred. I am sure the third party apps need to work with the new iPhone to get it fixed. But just wanted to make sure that there is no need to do anything at this point. These apps are making the new iPhone screen resolution look sub-standard which is in no way Apple's fault. These Apps need to grow up faster and release updated versions before the users start cursing them for lagging behind lol..
On the other hand the Apps designed by Apple work perfectly fine!
The new iPhone 6 is beautiful! Thank you Apple! I love you.

I can't help with the problem, since I don't have a laptop or second monitor, but if you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

IMac 2nd monitor output screen resolution comparison

So I currently use dual monitors on my Power Mac G5, but am planning on scooping a new iMac and still want to connect one of my existing monitors to it for the extra screen real estate. My concern is whether or not the two screen resolutions would match up with both/either the 21.5” iMac, and the 27” iMac.
The iMac would have it’s widescreen screen size, but my existing monitors are 4:3 ratio. I just want to make sure that I am able to drag windows back and forth between the two screens without any kind of window resizing. That would bug me out!
Does anyone know where I can find the resolution options for these iMacs, and how they might compare to my current, 4:3 ration resolution, which is
Thanks so much!

The specifications say:
Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to a 30-inch display (2560 by 1600 pixels) on an external display

Trouble with iMac G5 screen resolution

My wife has an iMac G5, running Snow Leopard; ATI Radeon HD 4670 video.
She was downloading pictures from her Nikon D60 and looked at one of the pictures, when suddenly the screen resolution changed.
I restored the default .icc profile from Time Machine from about a month ago (although it appeared to already be using the factory default).
Screen resolution won't work under any of the options shown under System Preferences / Displays. Any option leaves the screen too large (requiring scrolling to see the menus and the dock at the bottom) or else has strange characters / colors / boxes on part of the screen.
After restoring the .icc profile, I rebooted in Safe Mode (held down shift key while booting) and the display looks fine in 2560 x 1440.
When I reboot and don't go into Safe Mode, the display isn't right even though it's still in 2560 x 1440.
Since it works in safe mode, seems like it can't be hardware.
Any ideas what to do or try?
Thanks.
Keith

Sounds like maybe the Display is Zoomed in?
Try holding the ⌃ (control) key and scrolling down or alternately use the ⌥ ⌘ - (alt command minus) key command and see if that doesn't return to normal view?
The mouse scrolling feature can be disabled in the Mouse Preference and the key command feature can be disabled in the Universal Access Preference.

Designing Forms to match Monitor's Screen Resolution

Hello folks,
Just wondering. Does anyone know Oracle built-in procedures or
functions to make sure Forms will be displayed appropriately
according to screen resolution.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Upto my knowledge there is no any built-in avilable to know
the screen resolution. In the design time itself, the developer
has to decide about the coordination system for the form module.
It depends on to which platform the you are going to deploy the
system. If it should support both character and GUI mode then it
is advisible to select charcter cell mode.
If it is only GUI mode, it's upto you.

Publishing with a new screen resolution changes the EXE file size quite dramatically

Does anyone know why if you change the screen resolution and
the re-publish a movie why the resulting EXE grows in size quite
dramatically. Is there any way to avoid this to keep file sizes
down?
Thanks
Alastair

Yes it did help, in the respect that I felt confident that it wasn't anything to do with my project settings. The published files became corrupted when they were copied across to our intranet server.

Avoiding shape changes with changes in screen resolution

How do I avoid changes in the appearance of my movie at different screen resolution? For example, how do I avoid having my circles become ovals at different screen resolutions?
Thanks

argh!...I've tested it on two computers, and for both, it looks fine at some resolutions and awful at others. I don't have the same problem with the similar Shockwave animations, at least not to the same degree. Are you sure that there's not some setting in Flash or on the HTML page that I'm missing?
You can see the Shockwave animation and the incomplete Flash movie at

Second monitor detection and resolution issue with iMac

Hi All,
long time reader here, got a lot of helpful tips, thanks to all who post!!
I have a 24" iMac, Intel based, with OSX 10.5.8.
I bought a Viewsonic 22" monitor to use along side my iMac when using CS4 and I do a lot of photography. Now the problem is that sometimes my iMac recognizes it as VA2213w and other times it see it as VGA monitor. When is sees it as the VGA monitor the resolution changes a bit, even though it has it on its highest setting 1920x1080 @60hz. My tool pallets on the screen are a bit fuzzy, readable but not the best. I'm using a mini dvi to VGA adaptor as the Viewsonic only has a VGA plug. Could this be the issue? As I have read a lot of the problems here and they seem to be all pointing to the adaptor. If so then why does my iMac sometimes see it as VA2213w monitor and then on other times as VGA. I'm doing nothing to the display other than switching on in the morning.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency! Its driving me mad. I can't seem to get it back to recognize the display as VA2213. I have clicked on detect displays etc etc.
It was working fine all week and then suddenly last night it went back to seeing it as a VGA monitor only. Any help would be appreciated. I have no cursor issues, just the resolution and monitor detection.
Regards
Fergul

Hi All,
Well the issue seems to be the cable. I had an older TFT monitor that I was using and when I bought the above viewsonic, I just simply connected it to the existing cable. It wasn't till I was about to send the monitor back for one that had a DVI connection that I decided to use the VGA cable that came with the new monitor. What can I say, there hasn't been an issue since my last post which was a few weeks ago. Even when the iMac goes to sleep and awaken, no probs. Thanks to those that posted, its appreciated!
So far so good.
Take care.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook starting with Blank White Screen--Help??

I've had an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook for a couple years now. Today I go to start it up (without the power cord plugged in), and a completely white screen appears. I'm thinking, maybe it's still starting up/working some kinks out. Then I hear the Windows 7 twinkling start up sound that usually happens when you get to your log in screen. So it seems the computer itself is working, but there is zero display on the screen. If anyone has any good advice/experience with this/knows how I can fix it or what I should do, PLEASE let me know! Computer problems are so distressing

I had this problem with my father's pavillion.
There was a broken pin in the screen socket on the motherboard so I guess it was always making poor contact until one day this pin must have broken off completely and the screen would only display completely white.
I inserted a fine solid wire (not multi-strand) into the plug at the right point so that it only just stuck out enough to make contact with what was left of the pin in the socket, whilst being fully inserted into the plug.
I then taped the plug/socket together to make sure it didn't loose contact by coming loose.
Seems to have solve the problem in the short term (but the socket should need replacing for a long-term fix).

Activity Monitor has a language issue.

Activity Monitor is not using the default language set on the system. For some reason it is using French.
I have tried all different things to the system language settings etc but unable to work out why this application only shows up with the French language only.
I have tried many other applications and utilities and none show the same problem.
Any help much appreciated.

The /sbin directory is similar to /bin except it contains binaries that are specifically used for system administration. (The /bin directory is one of several locations where Unix-type binaries (programs or command-line commands) are kept.) Note: /sbin & /bin are OS X system directories and are "hidden" by default. Please check out this Mac OS X Hints article on how to "unhide" these types of folders in the Finder.
launchd was introduced with OS X Tiger, but is actually a platform independent program. Its primary purpose is for the starting/stopping of daemons, applications, processes, and scripts.
In this case it is launchd is used to start the item called "EXE." You can try using the tip above to access the /sbin directory to see if you can locate this item. If you can, you should Option-click it, and then, choose the "Get Info" option to see if you can find any additional information about it.

HP Pavilion Slimline Windows 7 64-bit: "No speakers or headphones are plugged in" error message

I have an HP pavilion slimline, model s5120y, with Windows 7 (64-bit).
I just got my power supply replaced and when I brought it home and plugged everything in, I couldn't get any sound. It told me no audio devices were plugged in, but my monitor with speakers was plugged into the audio jack in the back, the green one (it's an onboard sound card and NOT HDMI). I also tried my headphones and same thing, so I know it's not the monitor.
So then I tried the jack in the front and it worked, although the sound was really low, even with the volume turned all the way up. But, then like an hour later it went off again giving me the same message that no devices are plugged in. I tried the back jack again and then it worked again for a short amount of time. It keeps going in and out and switching to whether the back or front jacks will work, or nothing at all telling me nothing is plugged in.
Another thing is that my web cam has a mic, which is plugged in using USB, and the mic on the cam seems to record fine, and I assume it needs the sound card to do that. So, i'm guessing this is some sort of software problem because if the sound card was **bleep**ed up then the mic wouldn't be able to record, right? Well, the program I was using was showing that it was recording and the levels went up as I talked louder, so I assume it was picking everything up properly.
The audio worked fine before I brought it in for repair but I can't figure out what could have happened to break it when all he did was plug in a new power supply.
I went to the device manager and it says everything is working properly and all drivers are up to date. I also uninstalled then re-installed, disabled then re-enabled. I even went to the manufacturer's page and installed the original driver for RealTek. I also went into BIOS to make sure onboard audio was enabled. Every troubleshooting option I have on my computer says everything is working fine, but that there are no speakers plugged in even when they are.
Also I should mention, when the sound does come back on, it's pretty low and sometimes muffled, and sometimes the monitor speakers will make a dim clicking kind of sound, but not all the time. One person told me it was a known issue with the latest windows update, but I haven't done an update since I got the computer back and I couldn't find any info on that anywhere on the internet.
Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions!

Hi Srizzle, I have done some research for you and I have found a updated driver that is designed to resolve the issue of No sound from head phones or from external speakers. Please click on the link to get to the driver down load page.

HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1445br - Windows 7 32&64bit drivers.

Hello everyone,
I had to install 4 HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1445br with Windows 7 32&64 bit.
Now I need to find driver for USB Bus controller; Display adapters; PCI Bus; Network Adapters
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks a lot.
Ed.

Hi, Ed:
Use the W7 x64 bit drivers from this model which has the same motherboard as the one in the s5-1445br.
They are all listed under the original driver section, and you can install the usb 3.0 driver update listed under chipset if you want.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5231...
You will have to try and find W7 32 bit drivers on your own. I don't think it is going to be easy.
