Monitor switch problem in BootCamp

Folks,
I have my HDTV hooked up as a secondary monitor. In Leopard it works great.
But, if I switch to XP using BootCamp (one of my internet video providers specifies XP & IE for its service) the system sees the second monitor; all settings seem correct. But, the monitor says it is getting no signal.
Any idea why?

This forum is for troubleshooting the usage of Mac OS X, not Windows or Boot Camp, so you should probably post your question over in the Boot Camp forums:

  • Onkyo SR705 HDMI-DVI switching problem..

    I just bought myself an Onkyo SR705 with built in HDMI switching. At first, I thought my monitor having problems with the switch or my mac pro not detecting it. Then i turned on my PS3 and it works. Mac detects the receiver. But no picture comes out if it. Previously, i had a TERK 2-in-1 switch and that works well.
    Gateway FPD2275W DVI-HDMI > Onkyo > mac pro HDMI-HDMI with HDMI to DVI adaptor.
    what do i need to do with the mac or the setup in general to fix this problem?
    my monitor supports 1080i, and supports HDCP.

    ill answer my own question.
    found out the switch does not support full HD resolutions. Supported Max at 1280x1024 and also 1024x768.. probably my video card doesn't support it either? eh.. for anybody who is wondering why it dont work.

  • Satellite A200-1M8: monitor switches off and can't back to Vista

    Hello,
    I have Satellite A200-1M8 with original Vista. Sometimes I have some problems with dispaly (I have the newest drivers).
    The monitor switches off (not as usually but it is grey instead of black) every application run smoothly (I hear music of movie playing) but I can't back to windows.
    When I push button hibernation and I try to back to windows I see the blue screen then the computer resets.
    It happens really often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.
    I don't think that temperature is too high because I feel it is cool. How to repair this?
    Maybe some graphic settings or new BIOS?
    Please help me. I can't stand this!

    Hello
    Is your notebook preinstalled with delivered recovery image or you have installed your own operating system?
    I have Satellite A200-1CR preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery DVD. I use the notebook pretty intensively every day but I have never noticed something like this. Since when have you noticed this strange behavior?

  • Wierd monitor compatibility problem

    Hi all,
    Got a wierd monitor compatibility problem. G3 works fine on a sony 21" CRT.
    Connected it to a Daytec 15" CRT which works fine with a windows 98 PC.
    With the G3 I get the apple and the spinning up logo then the screen just goes blank.
    Is this monitor PC only or something? It is an old monitor but I thought any monitor should work
    if the vga connector fits?

    So you are using this directly plugged into the stock Display card in a Blue & White G3 with NO adapter?
    The Mac is probably still set for a higher resolution that the SONY can do, and has not noticed the display has changed.
    Video pros says that Video can be plugged and unplugged all day long with no bad effects. If your old display is still around, try setting it to 640 by 480, save changes, and swap the other one in "live" at that resolution.
    Other tricks:
    Reset the PRAM. This will send you back to a default setting while booting up, but may change when the system becomes active.
    Boot from a CD. This ignores the settings on your Hard drive, and boots to a very simple resolution like 640 by 480 to ensure that Most Macs can start up with it.

  • 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!!

    You realize you do need graphic driver, and Nvidia has Windows 7 (32/64), and ATI is suppose to have a universal driver. No mention of what your card is. And I would hope x64.
    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

    Until reaching to step (8 of 9 ) in the BB-Link, a popup windows appear in my Z30 saying “RESTORE IN PROGRESS”
    But after 5 seconds, BB-Link cancel the restore process !!!
    Also, I tried to connect my Z30 to my PC and restore previous Z10 backup directly through BB-Link, but same issue and message “the operation was cancelled”
    One more thing, I noticed that, the BBM is empty and showing message “restoring your BBM information” since yesterday.
    I wiped my device and try several time but no luck L,
    Please I need your help 

    Is the new Z30 upgraded with the latest BBM version 10.3?

  • Two Cards/3 Monitor Setup w/ Vista + Bootcamp, 7300 GT problems

    Hello all, I have a Mac Pro 32-bit OS running with Intel Xeon 5150 2.6 x2, 5 GB RAM, and originally, it came with the XT1900 video card. NVidia 7300 GT won't install in Vista! I wanted to run 3 displays, so I read around that people were adding an extra 7300 GT to accomplish this. I've ordered and installed one, but when using Vista via Bootcamp, the card simply will not install. I've checked device manager, there is an error code (43) saying it failed to start. I tried uninstalling drivers, reinstalling, patching, getting everything updated latest from nVidia for Vista, but to no avail, I've hit a dead end here. Also, I tried unplugging the XT1900 and running with just 7300, still didn't work. The card is installed in slot #4, and the original XT1900 is still in the #1 slot.
    Anyone know how to get the card installed under Vista (I have SP1 too)? Everything runs fine in OS X Leopard, but mainly, I use windows so I was more concerned about that. I've never had this many problems getting a piece of hardware to install, EVER.
    Also, I ordered the MAC version upgrade card whenever I purchased the 7300 GT. All the software updates and flashes, I was downloading for "Vista" Was that a problem or the right choice? If all else fails I may just ditch the 7300 and get another Xt1900 to roll with two. Hopefully that setup won't bunk out. Any help appreciated!

    Problem is Windows not liking to mix two brands, ATI and Nvidia.
    Check out the ATI Radeon 3870 instead of another X1900.
    http://www.barefeats.com has graphics benchmarks in OS X and Vista.
    I used 7300GT and 8600GS together in Vista. The 8600 is only seen and useable in Vista but does not interfere in OS X (just black). eVGA seems to be most compatible PC card on Mac Pro.
    You could run 7300GT and order the 8800GT from Apple, the one for just the pre-2008 Mac Pro, which would get along and work also and nice card in Windows but iffy in OS X and weak drivers.

    The 3870 you have to install the drivers, reboot once, let the drivers load into cache, and then switch over - for card to work properly in OS X.

  • G5 DVI to VGA Dell Monitor Connection problems, need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hello,
    I'm running two dell monitors both of which were connected via DVI to my g5 quad dual dvi. My tv broke and I'm using one of my monitors to connect the cable boxes HDMI input to the dells DVI input, it works great.
    My problem is that i still want to run two monitors from my mac and still be able to switch channel sources from the Dells source button allowing me to switch from TV to Mac. Since I took up the dvi port on one of my monitors to connect to the cable box via HDMI, I have a free DVI cable. I purchased a tiny converter that allowed to change one end of the free DVI cable to VGA. I used this method to connect the cable to my g5's dvi port and the configured end to the VGA port on the monitor with no luck.
    The Dell monitor does not pick up any signal and just goes to sleep as if my computer does not exist. The TV works fine and I'm able to switch sources. Please note that I'm not using the DVI-VGA adaptor that came with my g5 and don't know if this would make a difference. If it does, how do i set this up because this adaptor is like 5 inches long.
    Does the adaptors DVI end need to be connected to the back of the g5 or does the VGA end need to be connected to the monitor or does it not matter. I need a longer dvi-vga cable as well, do they make them. This all depends if the problem actually is that that I'm not using the DVI-VGA cable that came with my mac to connect to the monitor in the first place.
    Can anyone help me out here. I'm using the Dell 2208WFP Ultra Sharp.

    Bad adapter?
    The G5 ports are DVI-I. Any good DVI-I to VGA adapter should be fine.

  • DVI to VGA via Belkin SOHO Switch Problems

    Hi, I've searched and emailed Belkin support and no luck.
    I am using DVI out through a DVI -> VGA adapter (tried Apple® branded and non) then through the company supplied Belkin SOHO VGA KVM switch.
    My MBP detects the external display fine, but no video is displayed.
    Other monitors/projectors without the Belkin switch are fine using the DVI->VGA adaptor. And I've used the DVI straight out for years without a problem.
    Belkin's tech support couldn't figure it out and just recommended that I buy a DVI KVM switch. Nice.
    Anyone?
    Thanks in advance!

    My MBP detects the external display fine, but no video is displayed.
    What kind of display is it?
    Other monitors/projectors without the Belkin switch are fine using the DVI->VGA adaptor.
    Other monitors? What about the one connected to the Belkin switch? Does it work fine when driven directly without the Belkin switch?

  • After OSX.4.11 update external monitor unresponsive+problems w/sleep etc

    I've read some of the recent display problems. Here is my problem and what I've tried, my problem just started 6 hrs ago. I updated to OSX.4.11 a few days ago - eveything worked fine, yesterday I reinstalled epson printer driver as it was crashing and also yesterday I worked for several hours in iMovie 08. Nothing else unusual. This is STRANGE!
    Today went to wake my MBP, 2.4 GHZ, 4GB ram, Cinema display 20", wireless keyboard/mouse up from sleep to check mail. Cinema display flickered and then changed to dark blue solid - and unresponsive. Couldn't get external display to function. Never had any problems with it. Tried to restart everything, unplug all cords, etc. Everything started up I got the log in password screen on my external cinema display - typed in my password - then saw my desktop photo for a second and the cinema display flickered to dark blue again and wouldn't change. It was unable to mount the desktop.
    I went to my MPB while still connected got the screen on the MBP and saw the desktop but there were sort of black lines through the names of my folder files on my desktop. I then disconnected the cinema display, restarted just the MBP and the screen (of the MBP) that mounted was perfectly normal - no black lines through file folder names.
    Then I tried various things. I assumed my cinema display was broken (almost 3 years old). But then I hooked my MBP up to an old 20" cinema display (they kind with 4:5 ratio and plastic all around), I think it uses some kind of converter to the DVI port anyway my MPB worked with that old display fine, desktop fine, but it would not stay asleep - no matter what I tried. I've never had that problem ever before.
    Then I took the "newer" 3 year old cinema display (aluminum one) that I use all the time I I suspected was busted and hooked it up to my old Powerbook G4. And it mounted the desktop and worked fine!! The G4 just got updated to 10.4.11. Interesting thing is though when I closed the lid which usually made the G4 PB sleep it shut it down instead of making it sleep. Very odd.
    Then I ran down to Apple store and bought new version of Disk Warrior and ran it on my MBP. I've never had anything Disk Warrior couldn't fix. It rebuilt my directory. I then hooked the MBP back up to the cinema display (aluminum) and the same thing happened I got my log in screen after startup, logged in password saw the photo desktop for a second then the cinema display went back to a dark blue screen that was unresponsive. I then ran Disk Warrior again with the cinema display attached to see what would happen. Disk Warrior mounted and I saw the whole process on the cinema display. The cinema display will mount disk warrior but it will not mount the MBP desktop as of 6 hours ago.
    I then read these recent posts and tried a "safe" boot. I got my MBP desktop on the cinema display (aluminum) but as soon as I clicked on system prefs the cinema display went to dark blue unresponsive screen.
    But the same cinema display (aluminum) works fine with the Powerbook G4 except for some issue with sleep
    And the MBP works with an old plastic cinema display except again, it won't stay asleep.
    But the MBP and the aluminum cinema display that I've been using together for my photo/video editing for 4 months straight now and I've never had any problems with - they won't work together as of 6 hours ago. That is when I get the dark blue unresponsive screen on the cinema display (aluminum).
    Upshot is:
    1) Something is up with sleep mode and the OS X.4.11 update on 2 different machines (G4 PB and MBP)
    2) Something is affecting the way both the MBP and the Powerbook react with both my cinema displays. The MBP and the 20" aluminum Cinema display are the ones I need to work with and the ones that as of 6 hours ago just lock up in cinema display dark blue screen (almost black but not quite).
    Is this a problem with sleep, startup or DVI output and OS X.4.11?
    What can I do about it? I need to use my 20" aluminum cinema display it is clearly the better one of my 2 cinema displays. And even if I switch to my 20" older plastic apple cinema display the computer won't stay asleep any longer?
    Please, Please I need some help.
    Also since this is happening on 2 separate machines and 2 separate monitors there is something odd going on.
    Apple tech people, is there a major problem with .11 and sleep and external displays?
    Sincere Thanks, Carol
    PS Note, I tried all this numerous times with both bluetooth and regular wired keyboards/mice along with MBP and PB keypads.

    Sorry please forgive me, I'm so exhausted I posted this in MacBook instead of MacBook Pro, I'll try to move it but if I can't I'll try to copy it and post in MacBook Pro, regardless I think there is a problem with the .11 update.

  • Problems with  Bootcamp and an iMac 27".

    Hi, I recently installed a full copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, purchased at Office Depot, on my fully upgraded iMac 27" (Core i5, 4GB, Radeon 4850). My intent was to use Snow Leopard as my platform of choice for work and special projects, while booting into Windows for gaming (PC gamer).
    I had an Applecare representative on the phone as I installed the operating system and the process appeared to resolve quite successfully.
    I used the Apple Bootcamp Utility to establish a partition size of 300 GB, and then I placed the Windows 7 32 bit full installation DVD into the drive and proceeded with the installation. I ensured that the Bootcamp partition formatted thoroughly (NTFS) and I set Windows to download all the necessary updates automatically via Windows Update.
    I ensured that the upgraded GPU drivers were included during the installation (to avoid the black screen issue), as well as installing the Snow Leopard disk drivers, the iMac 27"-specific drivers and new Bootcamp 3.1 update for Windows. The partition worked fine and appeared to have been configured successfully after approximately 2 days of booting.
    Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and Sophos Enterprise AV. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly. Sometimes, when I would boot, I would simply reach a black screen with a white, flashing cursor. Other occasions I would load to a black screen, which contained a disk read error (Disk can not be found) and a request to CTRLALTDEL. Yet other times, the computer would simply lock up on the gray, Option bootdisk selection screen. In each of the aforementioned circumstances, the computer would seem permanently stuck, since the computer would not proceed to any operating system, regardless of time allotted (up to 20 minutes provided). On occasion, Windows would boot normally with no problems whatsoever.
    During each of the inexplicable lock ups, I would initiate a hard reboot, and boot off of the Windows 7 HP 32 bit DVD. Often, the DVD would perform a boot check of the operating system. On each of the occasions, the operating system check would list no errors. Because I was using the Apple Wireless Keyboard, I assumed that perhaps the issue remained with an inability to strike CTRLALTDEL and quickly purchased a USB keyboard. While I no longer receive the "Can not find disk" errors that request CTRLALTDEL, I still rarely get the black screen with the flashing cursor and I routinely receive the gray, OS option screen.
    I believed that perhaps booting with an external drive or jump drive attached might be causing the problem but upon removing all of said drives, the boot malfunctions persist. I used the Snow Leopard Disk Utilities to scan the hard drive and it detected no problems. I also utilized Windows hard drive utility to check for bad sectors. After 2 hours of scanning, no bad sectors or hard drive problems were detected. I finally rebooted the system in ChkDsk and upon 1 hour of scanning, ChkDsk confirmed no problems, bad sectors or issues with the hard drive. Because all three utilities appear to be unanimous, operating from two distinct operating systems, I'm inclined to believe the consensus and dismiss the possibility of a defective hard drive.
    While I can always eventually reboot into Windows, I am concerned that the large number of "hard reboots" - reboots done using the power button, which account for 5-6 on bad days, will eventually lead to a diminished lifespan for my iMac's motherboard or power supply. I want to curtail these pointless restarts. Booting with the Windows 7 DVD in the hard drive, yields a clean boot into Windows, however, this is very inconvenient and, moreso, would lead to wear and tear on the DVD that I would rather avoid (as well as not resolving the problems inherent in my Windows boot partition). After running the Windows 7 boot utility, over a dozen times, and receiving no errors at all, I'm at a loss for what the problem can be.
    My biggest problem, currently, is to avoid the wave of hard reboots. This most naturally occurs due to the computer locking up on the gray OS option screen. I'll select Windows and the hard drive will not spin up. I was advised to check my boot ini or use utitilities that provided a hard-mapped boot table for the Windows partition but I'm wary of corrupting or damaging my Windows installation.
    Has anyone experienced these problems with their Macs, 27" or otherwise? And can anyone help me resolve this problem before substantial wear and tear through constant rebooting results? Thank you for any input and thank you for your time.

    Well, you're not alone. Many other users are having the same problem,and it appears that Apple is ignoring the problem. I bought my iMac 27" in June 2010 and installed Bootcamp 3.1 running Windows 7. About every other reboot the gray screen will freeze during bootup and I have to do a hard reboot. Sometimes I get the Disk Read Failure. It is very, very frustrating. The only reason I bought the iMac 27" is that I like the look of it and the big screen; I have no desire to switch to a Mac, as I have too much money invested in Windows development software. I've installed multiple dual-boot systems in other non-Mac systems and never had any problems. I hope Apple stops ignoring the problem and comes out with a fix real soon.

  • Turning off 1 monitor causing problems?

    first off i am trying to explain the situation as best as possible here so please ask if this doesnt make sense.
    i have 2 LCD's hooked to the new Mini as such:
    1 going mini display port to DVI adapter to DVI on 19" Monitor (standard monitor)
    1 going mini DVI to DVI adapter to a DVI to HDMI on 52" LCD (Samsung TV)
    i just sold me iMac and switched to the Mini not only to be able to hide the Mini which i couldn't do with the iMac but also when i watch a movie full screen on the 52 i was never able to turn off the iMac monitor and would have to cover it with a towel so that it was dark in the room except for the 52 showing the movie.
    my thought was that with 2 monitors separately hooked up to the Mini that i could solve the turning off the second monitor problem as they would now both have power buttons. besides making it dark in the room i also like to have the monitor off and so that i can have Plex on the 52 always in full screen mode so my wife can just hit "Watch Plex" on the logitech remote and the TV and Stereo switch to the proper inputs and away she goes to watch whatever without having to touch the computer which when both monitors are on works perfectly.
    Scenario:
    i have the 19 setup with the Dock and menu bar and the 52 as an extended desktop. this allows me to keep EyeTV and Plex full screen and still have full functioning OS on the 19 regardless of whether we are watching something or not. this also allows me to remote desktop in which is what i usually do from the macbook on the couch and enjoy the fullscreen movie or whatever and setup downloads or what have you on the second monitor. hope that made sense.
    Problems:
    1. when the 19 is connected to the mini-DVI port and 52 to the mini-Display port and a movie is going on the 52 and i go to turn off the 19 which is where i keep my menu bar and dock i get a stuttering movie on the 52 and when i turn the 19 back on it goes away. this happens regardless of whether the movie is running in Plex, VLC, etc.. or even if i am watching EyeTV.
    2. if i switch then around so that the 19 is on the mini-Display port and 52 on the mini-DVI port and turn off the 19 then i get the blue screen like you just plugged in a monitor and then i get my menu bar/dock on the 52 and loose the movie all together but still hear it. i have to reopen Plex or whatever to get it full screen on the 52 again but this negates my original plan to have the 19 with the dock/menu bar so that i can do other things while watching the 52 full screen as extended.
    i appreciate anyone that took the time to read through this and could give me any possible solutions or idea on how to get this setup working the way i wanted it to.
    thanks

    it is an Acer X193W and does have a sleep / power saving feature but it is activated by the computer which i think would be a problem.
    the manual for the monitor says:
    "The monitor will be driven into Power Saving” mode by the control signal from the display controller, as indicated by the amber-color power LED. The power saving states will be kept until a control signal has been detected or the keyboard or mouse is activated. The recovery time from Active OFF state back to ON state is around 5 seconds."
    not sure how i could activate that sleep mode without affecting the other monitor?
    thanks
