?? Panel placement on 2nd monitor

I use two monitors with my panels on the left one.
I first moved the tools to the far right of the screen.
Next was a panel for Layers, Actions, History & Channels.
Then I added the Adjustment panel.
And finally the Brushes panel.
I noticed that as I added each panel it locked itself to the one next to it. I now want to add a Color/Swatch/Histogram panel below the Adjustment panel. However, every time I click on Color it creates a new panel between Layers & Adjustments and locks itself in place. I can't move it. How do I move the panel? or specify a location for it? something?
Thanks for any help,
Carole

Drag iut by its tab. If it auto-colapses, turn off the respective feature in the prefs. Note, that based on your screen res, panels will be squeezed inbetween otehr panels and may always collapse to their header region, though, so consider opening up a second column for more panels or create floating panle groups...

Adding navigator panel to 2nd monitor

I love the 2nd monitor feature in LR2, but it might be cool to allow the navigator to display on the 2nd monitor and disable on the main one. I'll get over it, but it seems to be a bit limited on what can go on the 2nd screen. ..as well as having to hover over the scroll bar to use the mouse wheel in grid mode. It doesn't work by simply being over the grid. ..however it works fine in the grid mode on the main monitor in the library regardless. :(
Love the program.. though it seems to run much slower than LR 1.4
Thanks!

Ryan,
Please provide the brand and model number of the USB-to-video adapter. There are many on the market that seem to be sub-standard in capabilities. My USB-to-video adapter of choice is the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39. It works great on my 7 different computers and 5 different HDTVs.
Please send KUDOs

2nd monitor says in input - what to do?

Hello. I have been having trouble getting a 2nd monitor to connect with my computer on the windows side. Two days ago the monitor just quit working and says no input when I turn it on. I have checked drivers for HP, nvidia, and updated my apple software on the mac side.
Two days ago suddenly the monitor began working. I have no idea why. I suspected that updating the apple software might have finally kicked. It worked for awhile yesterdat morning but then suddenly quit and I've not been able to get it started again.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Michael

Hi again Loner T. OK I read over all again. Let me see if I understand what you are saying to do:
First, download bootcamp software from apple-support-downloads. I found a place where it linked my computer to files and took me to bootcamp 4.0.4033. I follow directions on the apple site where it says to double click the file to uncompress it and then save all to a usb flash drive. That's what you mean above I think. I am gathering I download this on the apple side?
Open windows.
Go through and uninstall each of the windows drivers provided by apple that you have pictured above.
Then follow instructions on the apple website per what you say above by clicking on setup.exe.
This should reinstall the windows drivers and correct problems that downloads from windows may have created. Is that correct? I am thinking, however, that this is not the source of my problems. The install date on all these is 7-18-12 rather than a recent update that might have caused problems.
So I can do this. However, this doesn't deal with the issue of the nvidia graphics display card. Again, following other online suggestions for a clear install I deleted this file. The display card now does not show up in the Device Manager nor is there an Nvidia control panel in the control panel window. (The nvidia control panel, however, is still listed in Programs and Features as is a file called Nvidia drivers. What to do about this? I am assuming that this is needed for the display. I know the nvidia control panel was where I could see the connection with the monitor when this was working properly.
Thanks. Michael

2nd Monitor won't work

I bought a Pavillion p6210f last week with Win7 loaded to replace my Dell/Vista. I was using two monitors with a VGA port and DVI port on the old PC, so I tried plugging in the same on my new HP and the DVI would not fit. In examining the pins I found that, althought the Manual said DVI, but the plug has the pin/bar arrangement of a DVI-D. So, I bought a VGAto DVI-D adapter and everything plugged in snuggly. All pins and bar appear a match.
But, it won't work. This is what is showing
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller HP RC Mirror Driver [Display adapter]
NVIDIA GeForce 9100 [Display adapter]
Acer P241W [Monitor] (24.0"vis, s/n LB4040014320, March 2008)the one working monitor....
After hours with the 800 support and hours of reversing the two Acer monitors, the DVI-D port is simply dead. Anything plugged in to the VGA works fine, anything and any combination plugged into the DVI-D and cable switching etc. the 2nd monitor is not even recoginized. The NVIDIA control panel doesn't recognize it. The amber power light just stays that way and nothing ever flashes on the 2nd screen. That is, it is the same as not plugging in at all.
I was less than pleased when 800 tech and supervisor suggested I take it to a repair center. A week old? I have put way too much setup and data transfer into the new HP to go back to the retailer for a replacement.
Techs didn't know, but could there be a DVI-X with the same pins that also fits

Eldric, did you update to the latest video driver from nVidia? It sounds to me like a driver problem. Update and let us know if that solves your problem.

T43 extended desktop (2nd monitor) maxes at 1280x768

I use an HD Flat panel TV with computer monitor capability as a 2nd monitor for extending my desktop. This 2nd monitor has a very high resolution capability (the manual recommends a setting of 1920x1080 for computer connections).  The T43 display settings dialogue limits this second monitor to 1280x768 pixels, even though it allows much higher resolutions for the T43's built-in screen (I currently run at 1400x1050).
I see no Lenovo driver updates that address resolution issues for a 2nd monitor, but would really like to take advantage of a higher 2nd monitor resolution in my work.  Am I limited by my video hardware, video driver, BIOS, or what?  Is there a solution to my problem?

Keeping a 2nd monitor in Grid mode

Hello,
I'm trying to keep a 2nd monitor locked into grid mode? For example when editing; monitor 1 is in Loupe mode, 2nd in Grid mode when I do a find the monitors will switch modes? So the 2nd goes from grid to loupe and the main monitor goes to grid mode.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jeff

I guess it's a bug.
(In case you wonder about my setup: my second monitor is smaller and I prefer to use it for tool panels etc. It would also be ideal to carry the Lightroom grid view by default for quick navigation, while working on the individual images on the first monitor. Not too far-fetched a setup, I guess.)
No it's by design. The grid on the second monitor is actually a vertically stretched version of the filmstrip. So, you can forget any ideas about being able to edit multiple images on the second monitor.

2nd Monitor ICC profile in Acrobat 9

Hi,
I have problem with iMac24" dual monitor setup and Acrobat 9 Pro. I can't get the second monitor ICC profile applied to the pdf document when dragged to the the second monitor. Had the same problem with PhotoShop CS4. I spent several day to figure out why the second monitor looks totally over saturated with PS CS4 (looked fine with PS CS3) and yes indeed the solution was to turn OFF OpenGL in PS preferences. Still have the same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro. When the document is dragged to other monitor the ICC profile of that monitor is not applied. Any idea how to get that working as I can't find the OpenGL setting in Acrobat 9 . I have iMac24" and HP LP2475w as a secondary monitor which is wide gamut monitor which is far too over saturated without proper ICC. Any ideas?

Jao...
Does the secondary monitor always assume it will open in the monitor which WinXP defines in settings as '2'?
The reason I ask, is that if I have the secondary monitor open as "full screen" it opens on the 2nd monitor.
However, I have a slightly different set up. I have my primary LR space stretched some into the 2nd monitor, so that the right hand panels are on the second screen. This gives me a larger space to view the images on the main screen. When I open the secondary LR space, it is not full screen, but sized to just fit in the rest of the available space on the second monitor....and I usually use this space for the 'grid' of thumbnails.
My concern is that if the secondary LR space is even slightly larger than the available space on the secondary monitor, it will pop up in the middle of the primary monitor. After much trial and error, I found the sizing solution and it works....
However, since it seems to open either in #1 or #2 screen, I still have this nagging question....and there is no way I know to query LR to know what ICC profile is being used.
Thanks...JOHN

2nd monitor ICC profile?

When using the dual monitor support in LR2, if it is opened in the 2nd monitor, is it aware of the different icc profile for this monitor or does it use the profile of the primary monitor?
Can you manually change the profile used?
Can you interrogate LR (main screen and/or dual screen) to see what profile is being used?
I am using WinXP, but the video card I use looks like two cards and windows has a different default profile for each. Many cards do not do that, which is where being able to manually enter an icc profile would be useful.

Organizer 11 flashes continuously in 2nd monitor?

I just installed the trial version of Premiere Elements 11, which works fine on my primary monitor, but when I place Organizer on the 2nd monitor, the 2nd monitor screen flashes continuously. Using Windows 7 with all updates; ATI Radeon HD 4290 with currrent drivers. All other software, including other Adobe products, work fine on second monitor. Searched Adobe site and Google without success. Frustrated in Virginia.

Welcome to the forum.
I see similar, even with the latest nVidia video driver, BUT in my case, my XP-Pro is the limiting factor. nVidia has not released an updated driver for my GeForce 8800M GTX chip FOR that OS.
With Win7, I would have thought that the latest Catalyst driver for your AMD/ATI card would not exhibit that flashing. However, there have been some recent posts (mostly to the Photoshop forum) on some recent issues with the latest AMD/ATI Catalyst drivers, and especially with PS CS 6. What is the Catalyst version that you have installed? In many of those display issue threads in the PS forum, the "fix" was to roll back to an earlier version. Also, are your two displays the exact same, with the exact same resolution?
PrE 11 (and PS CS 6, PrPro CS 6 and After Effects CS 6) relies more heavily on the video driver, than most other programs will.
In my case, my display is perfect with older PrE, PrPro PS and AE versions, but I get the flashing (and trails) in PrE 11. My fix will be to update my OS on the laptop (though a new laptop is being shipped with Win7), since nVidia has ceased support for my XP-Pro and that nVidia chip.
Good luck,
Hunt

Dual display, 2nd monitor displays 3 of everything

I have ran 2 monitors before with no problems. Useing the lastest nVidia drivers with a Ti4200 128 I get 3 displays of everthing I put on the 2nd monitor. What I mean is when I slide a window over to the 2nd monitor it shows up 3 times. The device manager shows 4 monitors, the primary (Hitachi 751) and 3 default monitors. It doesn't mention the 15" NEC monitor that is my 2nd display. I have tried to uninstall them, but they keep coming back. I have unpluged the 2nd monitor and rebooted, no luck. There probably is some check box or setting that I am missing in the nVidia control panel.
I sure need some help,Thank You ..... VRB

Hi,
This is probably NOT the answer, but if all else fails...
I've encountered problems when connecting an LCD monitor to the VGA output of a video card which is primarily set up for PAL TV out - so the Vertical and Horizontal rates on the VGA are presumably derived from the PAL H & V rates (50Hz and 15625Hz - the latter might be doubled on the VGA). Anyway, most of the LCD screens I have tried in this combination give multiple horizontally displaced images. On the other hand, CRT (picture tube) monitors generally seem OK.
So you could try changing the refress rate or resolution of the 2nd output, and see if it makes a difference.
Having said that, I think the problem is more related to the way your system thinks there are 3 extra monitors attached - in which case I haven't a clue :(
Good luck!

Logic X screensets do not remember 3rd party software instrument placement on second monitor screen

I open my Spectrasonics software instruments and place them in a location on my second monitor screen and lock the screenset. Then switch to another screenset and come back to that saved screenset and the 3rd party software instruments are stacked on top of each other on my main monitor screen.
This was not the case in Logic 9.

yep
Starting from an empty project, I added 2 Instrument channels (Omnisphere and Kontakt 5. Open both plugin GUI's, move dthem over to my 2nd monitor then Locked the ScreenSet (SS 1)
Switch to other S Set and back, K5 and Omni GIU's open where I left them (locked).

P7n, 2-card sli, 3rd card for 2nd monitor

Anyone got 2-card SLI and a 3rd vid card for a 2nd monitor working?
System: p7n, 4GB OCZ Vista gold PC-6400 RAM, Pentium D930 for testing, 2 MSI NX8800GTs, Vista x64 installed, SB Xfi that's included with the MB, one 500gb WD SATA hard drive and an IDE DVD. I plan to move my RAID card over from my eVGA system in my sig if I can get this working...but I need more than 1 monitor.
Nothing overclocked!!
I can't get SLI to work with a 3rd video card. I've tried an eVGA 8400GS...no SLI option in the nVidia ctrl panel, eVGA 8500, no boot, the fans spin for a fraction of a second, and the leds flash and that's it, and an ATi 1800xtx...errors in Vista about incompatible hardware.
With the 8400GS, there's no longer any option for SLI in the nVidia control panel, which there was with only the 2 8800GTs on the previous boot.
I've got a 650W PS with dual PCI-E leads, and the system is currently pulling less than 300W, so this shouldn't be an issue.
I've built hundreds of systems, but this is my first SLI system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, the MB will occasionlly fail to boot with just the 2 8800gts, I just get the fan spin/led flash. Bad motherboard? The only way to get it to boot again is to pull one of the8800gts and restart, sometimes the bios needs to be reset.

Got the solution I was looking for via the forums at nvidia.com from jaafaman
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=60345&st=0&p=330530&
The third card works best as an nVidia so it can use the same driver. Right now, I'm using two 8800GTS640s in SLI and a 6200OC as the third, with a 20" WS for the SLI and two 17" WS attached to the third card.
And to date, Vista is the only OS where this is possible!
Start by mounting the cards, installing the one single ForceWare driver and mounting your monitors as above. Make sure your monitors are working in non-SLI mode before setting SLI up.
Open the Device Manager, and under Display Adapters you will see all three cards listed. Right-Click on the third card's entry and choose the "Disable" option. Close the Device Manager and reboot the system.
Once Vista fires back up with the third card disabled, the option to run SLI will show up in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Enable SLI as you normally would, and regardless of whether or not you have to reboot to enter SLI, once SLI is enabled you must reboot at least one time so that Vista starts up with SLI active.
Once SLI is enabled and Vista has been rebooted, you can open the Device Manager again and re-enable the third card.
At that point, you can do whatever you need with the other monitor(s) as you normally would. You can't extend the SLI rendering to the extra screens, but you can still extend the Vista Desktop, etc. and run apps or child windows as you normally would.
To get out of SLI, reverse the process. The key is in having the third card DISABLED while enabling or disabling SLI with a reboot.
A poster named Fredrik finalized this process as an illustrated guide in the SLI Zone and it was "stickied" there for permanent display. Oddly enough, the Guide is labelled Guide: Run Multiple Monitors with SLI, Vista, 3 Nvidia Cards, 2 cards in SLI and one for up to 2 other monitors. As one of the original participants, the title of your own thread is what caught my eye. Thought maybe someone else had discovered this as well...

Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
acceptable. Thanx!

Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
believe I would be the first to come across this issue.

MacBook Pro performance issues w/2nd monitor and FCP7

I have this MacBook Pro bought brand-new in January 2010:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
and until today had never attached a second monitor to it. Today I hooked up my Samsung 24" to do some dual screen editing in Final Cut 7.0.3. I was unable to play back my video at full speed in the second monitor, and after a few seconds of skippy playback I'd get that error message about unable to play back video at full speed and to check my RT settings. I was using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. My computer has no issues playing the video in the laptop's monitor at any resolution and any quality settings (I've never changed the RT settings or anything else in the menu ever but I tried every combination this time). I then tried using my TV as a 2nd monitor with an HDMI adapter. Same performance issues. I then tried my friend's newer 13" MBP 8,1 and it performed flawlessly with the same project & footage. I feel like my $3,000 computer should outperform a $1,200 one even if mine is a year and a half older. Any advice?

Wow, you posted this perfectly to coincide with an identical problem, albeit using Logic Pro 9.1.5 rather than FCP.
Last week, I purchased a 23" external monitor to use alongside my "flagship" 2011 15" hi-res, 2.3 i7 Macbook Pro with 8Gb of RAM.
It is connected via a mini-DVI to D-sub analog (not that that should matter?) and all appeared fine.
The first issue I had was with my MBP's fan now running CONSTANTLY, when I have the second monitor attached. Even when the machine is completely idle.
When using the machine to record audio, this is a fairly hefty problem and not something I had anticipated - indeed why would I anticipate such a thing?
What is far, far worse though is that over the last few days I have had repeated problems with performance drop-outs and errors in Logic and I have trying to fathom out why. Realising that the only major system change made, was the above monitor connection, I ran some tests.
I restarted my MBP, no other apps were running and with my new 23" monitor attached acting as main display with MBP built in display on as secondary
I loaded up a fairly demanding Logic project which was hitting 40% to 60% CPU usage when using the built in MBP display last week
I ran activity monitor and had CPU usage history open
The above project now repeatedly overloads and playback halts in a given 8 bar section - with CPU at 80% most of the time
I disconnected the external display, no shut down, I just let the machine switch to the built in 15".
Started the same project, the same 8 bar section and hey presto - CPU usage back down to 40% to 60%
The above was reflected in the CPU usage history with the graph showing CPU use down by about a half, when running this Logic project WITHOUT the external display.
There is a very useful benchmark Logic project that has been used as a test by many users to gauge Logic performance on given Apple hardware.
The project has about 100 tracks pre-configured with CPU intensive plugins, designed to tax the CPU.
The idea is that you load up the project with tracks muted, press play and then unmute the tracks steadily until Logic us unable to play contiunously because of a system performance error.
On my MBP, with the external monitor NOT attached, I can play back around 50 of the audio tracks in this benchmark project.
With the monitor attached, I can get about 22 tracks playing.... which is actually a far worse a performance drop (-50% I think!?) than with the first example!
I did also try with just the external monitor attached and not the MBP display and performance was about 10% better than with dual monitors - so still extremely poor, to say the least.
This machine is the flagship MBP and has a dedicated AMD Radeon HD6750 GPU which should take care of most if not ALL graphics processing - I mean it's capable of running some pretty demanding games!
Putting aside the issue of constant fan noise, there is no reason AT ALL, why using an external monitor should tax the i7 CPU this way - it's not as though Logic is graphically demanding... far from it.
I am on 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5, all apps up to date via "Software Update".
I will of course, be contacting Apple...

HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

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.
