Laptop stops stream to VGA monitor when windows starts.

 Pretty much exactly what the title says. I broke the screen on my laptop so i have it set up as a desktop with a cheap vga monitor. I can start the computer and see the "Verifying DMI pool data" screen and such and even the windows vista scrolling load bar, but when windows goes to the desktop i lose all signal from the laptop. What could be causing this?!  BTW: the thing works fine in safe mode.  I have the most updated nvidia driver.

your graphics card may be attempting to use the broken laptop monitor once it can boot up, when you enter safe mode it prevents the graphics card program from booting thus it doesn't switch off of the VGA monitor, you need to start the graphics program in safe mode and set the VGA monitor as a second display and make it a clone of the actual display, i'm not sure if the settings will last once you restart the computer, nor do i know how to get the VGA monitor to be your primary display, but that's what i do know

  • MSI RX9250-TD128 Problem: Jumbled video at top of monitor after windows starts

    I'm trying to intsall my new MSI radeon 9250 128MB video card in my year 2000 vintage Dell dimension 750 series desktop.
    I've tried installing all of the drivers provided on the driver cd and I keep getting the problem of a jumbled bar of video displayed at the very top of my monitor once Windows starts up i.e. once display would go to 1600X1400 or whatever.
    I am able to boot up in safe mode.
    About my computer:
    Windows 2000 professional
    750 MHz pentium iii processor
    340 mb ram
    an AGP slot that fits the card (im not sure what type, anyone know how i can check if it is 2x 4x 8x?, i don't think this is the problem though because it is supposed to be compatible with 4x)
    note: when i open up the device manager and go under display adapters, radeon 9200 series..  the "general" tab says that there is no driver installed.  However, when I look under the driver tab, it lists the driver that is installed and the various driver files that are installed.
    another note:  in the device manager there are two display adapters, "radeon 9250" and "radeon 9250 (secondary)" i tried turning the secondary off and it didn't solve the problem
    Also, is there an MSI technical support email that works?  I've tried emailing [email protected] from two different email accounts and I'm getting it returned.
    Thank you

  • How do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?

    how do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?
    programs such as.. email and Skype.
    When i go to system preferences, then users & groups, then to my name, log in items ....this box is clear, i have unchecked everything, yet things still start up......

    sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
    system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
    unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
    Hope this is helpful or answers the question.

    == windows start

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Integrate Java standalone application when WIndows start

    Hello everybody.I would like to ask you if it is possible to load a Java standalone application when any Windows platform (NT/2000/98/XP) starts.
    How can I integrate an application when WIndows start?Do I have to include the bat file(which callls the java applictaion) into a Windows system file?
    Regards.

    You can do one of several things:
    1. Write a native executable that runs the Java Archive (JAR) using the java shell command.
    2. Write a Windows shortcut that runs the java shell command (again passing in the JAR).
    3. Purchase software that will produce a native executable that will run the JAR for you.
    4. Integrate JAR files as executable programs into your Kernel. In Windows this is not easy, but again, there are solutions on the Internet, but you will most likely have to purchase these.
    5. Configure the JAR file type so that when any JAR file type is double-clicked (and the default action is performed), the Java runtime is executed with the JAR as a parameter.
    5 is my usual solution, and for operating systems like Linux, and especially MacOS, it is much easier to get JARs to run 'more natively'.
    The answer to your question is simply 'Yes' but it is your choice of how to do this.
    As far as running the JAR when your desktop starts up (Explorer in this case), you can do two things - firstly there's a 'Run' item in your registery where you can place the location of your shortcut / executable, secondly, you can simply put the short-cut or the executable (I recommend a shortcut) in your 'Startup' folder of your Start Menu. (Start -> Programs -> Startup).
    I hope this helps.

  • Some app not automatic startup when windows start.?

    I use dell touchpad but it don't automatic start when windows start. I allway manual open app.

    In this build, when you are set to use the Start Screen instead of the Start Menu, apps in the "Run" area of the registry that normally automatically start will not start. If you switch back to the Start Menu, they will start. I have not seen
    any documentation about this change so I am hoping it is just a bug at this point.

  • MSI P35 NEO - USB ports stop working when Windows starts loading

    I've just replaced the MB, CPU, RAM sticks, video card and PSU after the previous MB died on me last week. The problem I've been having is that my mouse and keyboard (they're both USB) stop working as soon as Windows starts loading. They're both functioning during the boot sequence. USB controllers and USB Legacy Support are both enabled in BIOS. I've tried plugging in my old ps/2 keyboard but that one won't work either once Windows has started loading (although it just struck me that it's possible I accidentally plugged it into the mouse port). Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can I open multiple tabs in Firefox when WINDOWS starts up? Command line limits to about 204 characters...

    I know how to configure Firefox so that it opens multiple tabs every time you open ''Firefox''. I want it to open multiple tabs when I start ''Windows''. Or in other words, I don't want to connect to multiple web pages every time I open a browser, just the first time I log on for the day.
    I tried appending the web sites in the command line of a Firefox shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. The problem is that in this approach, you're limited to as many URL's as you can type in about 204 characters ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' uses up 52 of the 256 characters available in a shortcut).
    Is there a way to open more tabbed web sites than that?
    What would be cool is if there was something like a FFstartup.ini file or something, where you could provide a list of websites as long as you want, and it would open them all. So, the command line would look like:
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\FFstartup.ini'
    ...and the FFstartup.ini file would look like:
    [Startup]
    'http://www.yahoo.com'
    'http://www.google.com'
    'http://www.firefox.com'
    etc...
    If there's no current way to do this, how would I make this suggestion to be developed?
    Thank you!

    Use a .bat or .cmd file to start Firefox if you need more space than the target line in a shortcut allows.<br />
    Separate the URLs with spaces.
    start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.yahoo.com http://www.google.com http://www.firefox.com

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • Turn on skype when windows starts

    Since a skype upgrade skype wont load when Windows turns on. I have ticked the appropriate box but this makes no difference

    RDC is a pretty rudimentary application, so it's doubtful that feature is available. But regardless, since RDC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

  • OSMF stops streaming audio podcast prematurely when the first chapter ends

    Hi, im having problems playing an audio mp3 which has chapters in it, OSMF closes the streaming and dispatched that has completed playing without the possibility to continue playing...
    any ideas on this? thanks!

    Why did Apple in their wisdom(??) decide to change this function (it used to work just fine)?
    Why would they think that people want to be reverted back to the main menu and not hear the next Podcast??
    Do they consider having to try and navigate back while your driving a leap forward?
    Why would you turn around and make this hard to use??
    And having to make a Smart Playlist is stupid...it makes the Podcast Category on iTunes useless and redundant.
    I had the opinion that Apple was better than Micro$oft, that's why I made the leap but now I don't know...
    99% of users want the function (to play Podcasts automatically and last episode first) back....what are they basing their decisions on certainly not us the users.
    Does Apple EVER respond to these forums???

  • How do I stop iTunes connection to iStore when it starts up?

    Title says it all really. I can't see any obvious way of stopping iTunes trying to connect every time, is there any way of doing this?

    Not sure if this will solve the whole problem for you, but its solved one of my major issues, so thought worth sharing.
    I have the problem that when importing CDs or attaching Ipod the itunes program pops to the front. You can be halfway through a post/email/doc whatever and then it just appears and before you know it youve pressed keys that mean youre listening to Bachmann Turner Overdrive...
    Anyway, I have solved this issue by going (in MAC OS X) to the system prefs and CD/DVD and making sure all options in there are set to ignore. In the itunes prefs I have stopped the ipod from auto synching and itunes from opening when you insert anything at all.
    Hope this helps and fixes a bit of stuff for people.

  • Opening itunes when windows starts

    Hi, I was wondering how i get iTunes to automatically start in my system tray when I log onto my screename?

    go "Start > all programs > Startup", and right-click that startup entry to open the Startup window.
    now head into C:\Program files\itunes\ (or wherever it is that your itunes program files are stored), right-click on your itunes.exe (application) file, and select "Create shortcut". rename the new shortcut as you please.
    now drag that shortcut into the Startup window you opened earlier.
    itunes should now launch when you log in to your user account.
    (if your security software also runs when you log into your account, like my NIS 2007 does, that might make your initial startup times in that account even longer, though. depends on how big a system-performance hit your PC takes when your security software launches.)

  • Laptop speakers make a squeeky sound when it starts playing audio

    Whenever my laptops makes a sound and it hasn't made a sound in a while i hear a little squeek before the audio start, I'm using a DV6-3020ED. I think i read before about this problem but i cant find anymore information at the moment. Please help...

    > Is the file normalized correctly?
    Please don't tell me that any form of "normalization" was used at all!!
    Such a bad idea.
    Things to look for.
    1 - Why the 448 bitrate? You're legal as far as it goes, but I would like to know why.
    2 - What Dolby Digital Encoder did you use - it wasn't Encore. Was it a properly licensed one?
    3 - What is the peak level of the original PCM file? Should *not* be more than -6dB at the hottest (depending on destination)
    4 - If the file was close to 0dBFS peak, was the RF overmodulation protection set to ON or OFF?
    5 - Where in the file is this click? Beginning? End? In the middle?
    If at the beginning, have you made certain that the 2 second audioblack is there? Is the file faded in properly? Slow decoders can cause a click by taking time locking down on a stream.
