PSE 7 - Set Up for 2 monitors.....display is really messed up.

I have a Dell laptop with a 2nd monitor plugged into it. In, I think, full screen mode the PSE 7 editor page is properly displayed on the laptop. If I click the center box in upper right to reduce page size for drag and drop, it narrows vertically to about ¾ of screen height, but extends across about ¾ of both monitors. Any image I try to edit lands right in the middle, split between both. Trying to adjust size by grabbing a side of the page has no effect - no arrows appear, tho' I can drag the whole page back and forth between monitors to some extent.
If I click on the reduce/full size box in center at upper right when the page is partly onto the 2nd monitor, the full screen page will be offset on that monitor to where the bottom is about an inch above the bottom, the boxes at upper right are out of the screen and un-usable, and the whole thing is ¾ out of the screen to the left. The only way I've found to get back to anything useable is to right click the icon in the bottom taskbar of laptop screen, then left click "Restore." This brings it back to the original full screen on the laptop.
Laptop is 15", 2nd monitor is 23". I'd really prefer to edit photos on the 2nd. I've never seen or heard of anything like this and see nothing in the Help menu. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a normal display ??
Thanks

OK, great, I've now got FCP back! Thank you.
However, I am where I originally was. My system has been set up and fully functional with my 2 monitors for about a year now, but I have never used FCP on this 2 monitor system. There must be a setting unique to FCP that tells it there are two monitors. When I go to Window-Arrange-Dual Screen absolutely nothing happens. I can drag each of my FÇP windows to the 2nd monitor, and save as a cutom layout, which is what I think I will do. Just wondering why the Arrange-dual screen does not work, and does not appear in the user manual. Running FCP 5.1.2 if that means anything.

Set password for code / no display

hi all
i have written some report 'z1'. i don't want other to view my code . is there any way to set password for my code ? is there any other solution.
thanks

If you hide the source as described in this posting, the program cannot be regenerated. If any dictionary object that your program uses gets changed, then the system will mark your program as needing to be regenerated. The next time it is executed, the system will attempt to regenerate, will fail to find the source code and therefore your program is unusable.
You may also lose the ability to debug the program.
You may also lose the ability for the dump manager to point out the line of code where a failure occurred.
As long as you are okay with these restrictions, then go for it and let us know how it goes.

Multiple Video Cards for 3 Monitor Display

I'm in the process of creating a large multiscreen presentation (3 screens). I need an application (will probably be authored in Director or Flash) to span all three screens. Each screen will have a resolution of 1280 x 720. I am looking into what the best solution is for this.
One Quad head card?
Two video cards, one dual head, one normal?
Three video cards?
I've heard with PCs that if you have multiple video cards, you can't run a fullscreen application across video cards. Does the same hold true for Macs?
Any suggestions?

I'm having a hard time figuring this out. It seems as though people on this forum have been playing games across all three monitors. However, I just went to the big glass Mac store in NYC and asked a few people at the "genius bar." The guy I talked to was very skeptical of running a fullscreen application across video cards. Another guy I talked to said it was application dependent. They had no MacPros with dual head cards, so I couldn't check its settings.
If anyone can out genius the genius bar and give me a solid answer, I'd be greatly indebted. I'd like to get an answer before spending 5 grand on a system.

Photoshop CS6 work window too tall for monitor display

On a MacBook Pro 15-inch retina display running OS 10.8.3, in Photoshop CS6: after launching PS, the work window is too tall for the monitor display. The bottom is cut off: there are no bottom scroll bars or nor any of the page info, I can't grab the resizing corner to change window dimensions. Also, I can't change from Standard Screen Mode: neither the left tool bar nor the F key has any effect. I've quit and restarted both the PS app and entire computer but problem persists. How can I fix? Thank you.

Try quiting PS, setting your screen resolution to the max setting, which will make apps appear smaller. Restart PS, resize the PS window so that it's small, quit PS, and set you screen resolution back to where you had it.

Macbook pro had coffee spilled on it two weeks ago; all working fine now except for the monitor, display is dim and photos not appearing properly. Any suggestions? Apple said would cost too much to repair, anyone had any luck with outside repair facilities? thanks.

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

Dual Monitor display/firmware difference

I purchased a Pavilion 27xi monitor from the HP Shopping site in October 2014 and purchased an additional 27xi to be used in a dual monitor setup. I received the new monitor this week. The newer monitor does not match the color/white of my existing monitor. When I move a white rectangle so it displays on each monitor, on the new monitor it appears as greenish gray instead of the white of the older monitor. I have done the factory resets, switched display adapter outputs (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT), tried one monitor at a time on either adapter output. All with no change in the behavior of the new monitor. The internal setup/control menus of the monitors differ in content and style/color.
Older monitor info: manuf: April 2014, Rev: RIM111
New monitor info: manuf: Dec 2014, Rev: RIM232
I have talked with HP "support" and one person thought it was because of the revision level difference.
I want the display quality of the older monitor, Rev: RIM111. If the monitor difference is because of the revision level, can the newer monitor be put at the RIM111 level. I tried to purchase a monitor with the RIM111 level and was told by HP Shopping that they do not have any at that level. I this a firm level that can be changed? If so how do I accomplish that?

Hello @tomas44,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the newest monitor you have connected to your desktop computer does not match the color/white of the existing display, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that your system is properly configured for dual monitor displays, I recommend following the steps in this document on Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 8). If everything is setup accordingly, I recommend following the steps below for the newest monitor:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try a different cable connecting your monitor to your computer
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?). Not worth repairing.
If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt. So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect? For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor. Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

Multi Monitor - different Screeen Saver for different monitor - Setting for notebook computers...

Hi,
I have a question about the multi monitor, screen saver setting for Windows 7. I'd like to know 2 questions.
1.) if I can set different screen saver settings on different monitors
2.) If I can do it, can I work on the external (or non-primay) monitor, when I have the primary monitor with "blank" screen saver?
Basically, I put my notebook computer at the docking station at work, and the docking station is connected to a 22" monitor, desktop keyboard and mouse. So, at work, the 22" monitor and K/B would be my primary use. However, I still "flip"
open the notebook monitor for dual monitor use.
I'd like to "save" the notebook monitor when I don't use it for 30 min. or so... I'd like to "power" it off or set it so that it would only turn on if I move my mouse to that screen.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks

Hi
There isn't any way to do what you are describing.
The reason is that both monitors have the same source for the video. You can extend the video to the second monitor, but this just gives you more screen space.
The screen saver will only display on the monitor that is set as the default and when the screen saver starts, the other monitor will be blank.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

Can you merge monitors for a single display for video playback?

I use a projector for a monitor and it's 720p(1080x768) I'd like to add another identical one to up it to 2160x768. Will the os(or at least in part the applications such as itunes, imovie, dvd player and videos played in safari)play across both as one desktop or am I still going to be trapped to 1 display showing the video? I have a mac mini 2010 so mini diplay port and HDMI.
is this possible?
thanks in advance.

How do I set up an indicator to display for only 1 second?

How do I set up an indicator to display for only 1 second?
I am reading keys from a serial device and I turn on an indicator that corresponds to the key pressed
on the serial device but how do I set this up so that it only stays lit (enabled) for a second or two?
The indicator is inside of a case statement and turns on OK but I do not want it to stay on for more than
a second or two. How do I modify this to display for only a second or two?
(P.S. I am running an old version 8.2 and can only see vis that are 8.2 or older.)
thanks

Simplest way to turn the indicator off (false value) after a set time is to use a Sequence structure (flat or stacked).
Frame 1, set to true,
Frame 2, Wait ms (wire millisecond value to wait)
Frame 3, set to false.
This method, however, prevents the code outside the case structure from running during that wait time.
Something more elaborate will allow the external code to run. What comes to mind is a shift register that holds the indicator name and the time stamp (in milliseconds) when it was turned on, in an array of clusters. Each iteration of your loop will check this register to see if a certain time has passed (current time stamp minus turn on time). If so, use a case structure to turn the indicator off and remove the elements from the shift register array (so you don't keep setting the indicator to false). The array will let you control multiple indicators independently.
A problem with this option could arise from multiple readings. Lets say you want to turn it off after 2 seconds, but you read the value again after 1 second (this means the indicator should be on for a total of 3). The code would still turn it off after the 2 second mark. Of course this really depends on the time intervals involved with your code.

Setting the resolution for external monitor

Hello all,
I just purchased a ViewSonic vx2025wm 20.1" external monitor for my PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz 12". I've scoured the discussions regarding my question, but couldn't seem to find it. So I'll post it here...
I've successly connected the ViewSonic to my PB and the image seems to display fine in "spanning" mode (ie images span over two screens). However, when I try to "mirror" (ie have the same view show on both screens) the external monitor displays a 1024x768 resolution (the PB displays this as well, but that is the optimal resolution for the 12"). My question is this: how can I mirror while having each screen display its optimal resolution (the optimal resolutions would be 1680x1050 for the External monitor, and 1024x768 for the PB).
Thanks in advance for any wisdom on this!
PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz 12 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25 Gig RAM

Thanks for the quick response -- and one follow-up question. Will turning mirror off (which, if I understand correctly, will place the displays in spanning mode) cause a strain on my PB? Since the PB will be supporting the displays of both the external monitor plus its own display. Does that make sense? I actually read something related to this in these discussions which is why I brought it up. I will try to locate that discussion and place a link in this thread so I can better explain.
