Portege m700 Tablet Extended Desktop Problem

I've looked all over and can't find a good answer to this, so I figured I'd better check with the source! I have a Toshiba Portege m700 tablet PC, which has an LCD monitor connected using the digital cable.
I have the external monitor set as my primary, with the notebook monitor set as the secondary, providing extra desktop real estate to the right of the first monitor.
The problem is that when I use the touchscreen, the mouse controls are only active on the primary monitor (the external one). What I'd like to do is have the external monitor be primary, the notebook monitor be secondary, and be able to drag items to the notebook and use ink, or onenote, or other touchscreen apps on there. I want the touchscreen to control ONLY the secondary (notebook) monitor. Is this possible?
It seems like there should be some way to just instruct the computer to map the touchscreen to the secondary monitor instead of always just mapping to the primary.
However, if there is not, what I did experiment with is having the notebook as primary and the external as secondary, and then using some sort of multimonitor software to manage the taskbar and such to create the illusion of the external monitor being primary. The problem here is that while the notebook is 1280 x 800 resolution, the external monitor is capable of 1280 x 1024, but when set as secondary will go no higher than 1280 x 800. Is there a way to force the external monitor to run in 1280 x 1024 if I'm using it as the secondary?
Is this something for which I need an updated graphics driver? I tried to get a newer version of the Intel GMA, but it actually removed all extended desktop options for me, so I rolled it back. The version it's running is 6.14.10.4837.
Thank you in advance for anyone pointing me to any driver updates, configuration directions, or external software that can effectively manage all these options of extended desktop, screen resolution, and what monitor is assigned to touchscreen control!

I've just tested the "Extended Desktop for Tablet PC" powertoy, and that doesn't solve this problem. With the tablet set as the secondary monitor, when I move the window onto that screen, it just recurses the image over itself, which isn't really useful.
No one has any other ideas about this?

IMac 27" extended desktop problems

Hi!
I own a 2011 iMac 27" and I am having issues using a Samsung SyncMaster T240M display as extended desktop.
It works fine when I am just using the computer for a while, but if the displays go to sleep mode, when I return to the computer the iMac display restores right away but then the Samsung display starts to go on and off repeatedly until it finally stays on, but then all my applications are on the iMac display.
It is pretty much like what would happen if I had unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in.
Is there a way to fix this or do I just have to live with that? Has anyone experienced the same problem with other displays? Maybe this Samsung display is not syncing well with the iMac?
Anyway, any help will be very much appreciated.
See you,
JP

If the machine is covered by warranty or even better by AppleCare then contact AppleCare. They will be able to do in-home service if you are within 50 miles of an AASP. You will have to request this service but they will do it.

Fullscreen Flashplayer on an Extended Desktop Problem

I have just started to use Lovefilm's watch online service. This involves using Flash Player to stream content directly to my PC without storage. I want to then watch that content on my TV which I have set up as an extended desktop. I also would like to use my PC for browsing at the same time.
My question is how do I get flash player to stay fullscreen on the secondary desktop and still use the primary. Every time I click on the primary screen the secondary drops out of fullscreen and reverts to standard. What can I do?
I am using XP, firefox and the TV is connected through S-video.

Portege M700 tablet downgrade to xp tablet edition.. Major issues

None of the USB ports work.. you can plug a item in.. you get the DEE - DUM sound.. but the little icon to add new hardware never pops up and no USB device of any sort will work (mouse, flash drive, external harddrive, camera.. nothing)
The Blue Tooth doesnt work either..
The touch screen works, the camera works, and the thumb recognition scanner works.. but these are more like nice addons.. the lack of any usb items is killing us.
Does anyone have any idea how to sort this problem out?
Thanks for your time.
Jaime

What did you use to install XP? Did Toshiba supply a downgrade disk?
If you didn't, then did you install the drivers from the Toshiba website?

Message "insert system disk" while booting Portege M700

Hello everyone,
my friend give me his old toshiba Portege M700 and I have problem with it.
When it starts up just shows toshiba logo and then this "please insert system disk and press any key when ready.
I haven't any disk from where can i download the iso and then burn to disk or something like that, I really don't know much about pcs and sorry for my bad english, please help me if anyone can
thanks a lot

Hi
Unfortunately, its not possible to download the Toshiba image.
In case you dont have a recovery disk for your notebook model, visit this page to order such disk: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
But Im not quite sure if you will be able to order the disk because of the notebook age
However, the message: insert system disk appears because the system is not installed on the Toshiba Portege notebook, therefore it asks for the disk.
Of course you can use the clean Microsoft Windows disk to install the system the essential drivers are available on Toshiba EU driver page therefore the Toshiba image is not necessary to reinstall the system if your are own a MS Windows disk

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Portege M700 - Rotation Button Not Working In Tablet Mode

I have a Portege M700 and when I turn it into tablet mode the rotation button quits working.
It works when it in laptop mode.
I have the rotation utility set to go into secondary landscape and its no longer switching and the button on the front of the screen will not switch it anymore either.
I can go into the rotation software and rotate it manually.
Any suggestions on how to get the button functioning again?
Oh and I am running Vista Business with SP 2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it does rotate it just wont rotate with the button once I turn it . also when I turn it to tablet mode it goes into portrait, I need it to go into secondary landscape. I made sure that the setting are set to secondary landscape and that the button is set to rotate. but it just wont. I have reinstalled the drivers for the rotation utility. any other ideas would be very helpful. thanks

Where to find Win XP tablet Edition 2005 for Portege M700-106

Hi.
Can I find somewhere at Toshiba's websites Windows XP tablet Edition 2005 with complet drivers
(for example:Recovery DVD with XP) for download for notebook Toshiba Portege M700/106???
Where I Can download AHCI drivers for notebook Toshiba Portege M700-106???
I want to install Windows XP on my book but I don't know how!
Thanks

Hi

You can find only a Windows XP tablet edition drivers on the Toshiba European driver page! But you will not find a Windows XP tablet Edition 2005 OS for download!!!
You will have to buy a clean OS and then you could install the Toshiba drivers downloaded for the notebook.
PS: I dont know what OS was preinstalled on your M700 but mostly a Toshiba recovery CD/DVD should be delivered together with the notebook.

Toshiba Portege M700-S7003X startup problem

I have a Toshiba Portege M700-S7003X (Part#PPM70U-03M01J; Serial#38084271H). Few days ago while I was working on the notebook suddenly a message showed up to restart the computer for some update purpose. However, when I tried to restart seems to me the computer is crashed. Right now whenever I try to startup it shows up messages: Safe Mode; Safe Mode with Networking; Safe Mode with Command Prompt; Last known Good config that Start windows normally. However, I tried with every option and at every case gets a quick blue screen which doesn't let me really see what's been said and then restarts.
I would highly appreciate if anyone suggest me the possible ways to solve the problems.
Thanks!!

Bug Check 0xED: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
That's a good sign. It usually means the hard drive contains some corrupt files and can be repaired, but it's not easy.
You should boot to the Recovery Console and try to resurrect the hard drive by running chkdsk /r. See KB297185.
Unless you have access to a Windows XP installation CD, you will need the downloadable Setup boot floppies. And you may need a PA3109U-3FDD USB Floppy Disk Drive.

All menus have display problem (flash) when using FF on extended desktop monitor

I use two monitors at work. Each time I display FF on the "secondary" monitor (extended Desktop), all menus (normal menu, bookmarks, right click), flashes going from visible to hidden and so on).

I have the same problem. Windows 7 (64 Bit), extended desktop, 2 monitor system. I have AMD HD 4800 graphics card with all AMD updates current as of 12/8/2012.
The drop down menus display briefly (flicker) and then are not visible. If I am careful and know the dropdown line I want, I can blindly select it. This happens only on the second monitor on the extended desktop. If I move Mozilla to the primary monitor the same page works correctly.
Disabling the hardware acceleration and restarting Mozilla resolves the issue. While I can use Mozilla, it is still not ready for prime time using hardware acceleration.
Given that it is the only Browser or applicaiton that has this problem with displaying drop down menus on the second monitor, I would suggest that it is either a Mozilla hardware acceleration problem or Mozilla needs to work with the graphics card manufacturers to resolve a problem that only Mozilla seems to have with their drivers.

How to connect Portege M700 to TV using VGA port?

I bought a VGA to S-video/audio adapter and connected it to my VGA port and to the TV.
Nothing happened.
In control panel.... no other display/external display was detected.
The only postings I have come across use a port emulator or something.
I have the Portege M700 preinstalled with Vista Business tablet.
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks

Thanks for answering.
I used an adapter which plugs into the VGA port on my M700 and allows either audio/display or S-video to connect to it. That is what I used, trying to connect via S-video or scart... and I'm afraid it did not work for me ;-(
It is a VGA to S-video/audio convertor.
Here is thye ebay link to the adapter I bought for this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-to-TV-Converter-S-Video-RCA-Out-Cable-Adapter-UK_W0QQitemZ120343643231QQihZ002QQcategoryZ41993QQ tcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
I may be doing something stoopid... I hope I am but it worries me that if it works for you, there must be something wrong with my notebook :-(
The graphics adapter shows "single display" and the multiple display option is not available there.
I am confused as my old laptop used to work just fine.
I am wondering if there is something I need to activate, but there is nothing in the bios setup or control panel.
I just physically connected them and then clicked on the "connect to external display" as well as checking the graphics options.
Perhaps the cable is the wrong one ?

Also, when I use FN + F5, nothing happens. No windows come up.

HT5019 If my second display is not showing up on the graphics display window, yet the second display is showing a mirror image, how can I get it to recognize the second display and allow me to setup extended desktop?

I'm running 10.9.2 on a Power Mac from 2013. I am using two identical HP monitors. I have a Y adapter to connect the monitors. Which I'm guessing means the computer is only seeing one display since there is only one display output.

There are no PowerMacs from 2013. The desktop tower from 2006 on got named Mac Pro. The problem is probably the Y adapter. You need a videocard with two display ports, or two videocards to be able to make an extended desktop from one to the other. If you gave us the Y adapter make and model, we could tell if it supports screen spanning or not.

Dual Display, 2 Monitors - Extended Desktop

Hello Everyone:
There isn't a clear cut answer or solution in connected a Macbook Air to 2 external monitors in an attempt to create an extended desktop. I have read older posts that it's either doable or not doable. My questions are the following:
-Is it possible to connect a new Macbook Air to 2 external monitors for extended desktop purposes?
-Some users have reported lag issues (mouse dragging , delays, etc.). Will this happen for sure with a Macbook Air or is it a monitor issue?
-What's the best non-Apple monitor brand that would work best with a Macbook Air for dual display purposes? I've read that Dells have a problem in this regard.
-What would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a dock station in setting up a dual display environment? Would this add to the lag, latency factor?
I'm thinking of investing in a new Macbook Air, but I want to make sure I dont end up with silly issues - such as latency, monitors, etc.
Thank you for all your help and advise.
Best,
G.

Yes, extended desktop works with monitors set to differant resoultions. the Monitors pref pane allows you to select relative arrangements and rez of all monitors composing the extended desktop.
personally I run a dell CRT at 2304 X 1728 @ 60Hz along with an NEC 6FG a 2048 X 1280 @ 60Hz off a radeon 9800pro on an MDD.

Airplay display issues: "extend desktop" not working properly. Secondary display continues to mirror.

Whenever I turn my airplay display on and set it to "extend desktop," my secondary display (TV) continues mirroring my mac book pro (hereinafter MBP). It doesn't fully mirror my MBP, but my secondary display registers every time I switch between my desktop 1 and my full screen apps. Moreover, When I do switch to a fullscreen app on my MBP, I get a blank (blue-ish) screen on my TV.
Any solutions!?!
Additionally, "extended desktop" for my Airplay display worked properly when Mavericks was first released.

Try this:
Click on the Apple TV Icon on the top toolbar
Then, select "Mirror Built in Display" instead of extend desktop
In the same menu under "Match Desktop size to:" select "Apple TV" (or keep it on "built in display if that works"
This solved a similar problem for me.
