Safari 3 - Dual-monitor problem.

I've just installed Safari on Windows Vista Business. When I move the windows on my secondary monitor, a soon as I try to maximize it, it desappear. The program is still in my taskbar, but I can't minimize or anything. The options are greyed-out. The only thing I can do is to kill Safari and restart it.
Is anyone has experiencing the same problem ?
DELL Inspiron 6000 Windows Vista

I've just tested Safari on a multihead Windows XP system and suffered the same problem. Display 1 is laptop primary display, and display 2 is configured to the left of laptop display and is an external LCD.
If you right click on the Safari button in the TaskBar and select Move, the cursor appears at the top left hand corner of display 2, and I think I can see a one pixel edge down the left hand side of display 2 that may be the Safari window. It starts a few pixels down from the top left and appears to be black 1px wide, and when you close Safari it disappears.

M93p dual monitor problems; monitor turns off and cannot be turned on again

Hi,
we have multiple M93p tiny computers causing problems in dual monitor setup (VGA / Displayport->DVI). Our users (already >5) keep telling us, they leave their workplace, return, then DVI attached monitor if off and they do not find a way to turn it on. This is true; the only workaround that has been found by our users is to bring Win7/32bit into standby mode and awaking it again.
Needless to say, we turned all windows energy saving options off (computer standby/hibernate, monitor turn off). Still the problem appears.
Maybe there is something wrong with DVI power/DVI signal?
- Monitor independent, as far as I can see
- Independent from Windows energy saving modes
- BIOS updates did not help
[todo]: Try Intel/(AMD?) drivers, let users test.
I haven't seen exactly when the monitor turns off because it is reported by users. I had a testing machine, but was not able to reproduce.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Dual Monitor problem and an idea

Hey everyone. I use two monitors and when i have iTunes open on the primary one(the laptob monitor) i am able to scroll through my music in iTunes using my mouse wheel. However, when iTunes is opened on the other monitor, scrolling through songs with the mouse wheel doesnt work and i have to do it using the scroll bar. Other applications such as firefox scroll just fine on both monitors. Any ideas??
Also, I couldnt find anywhere to post suggestions so im just gonna do it here. I think it would be nice to be able to save playlists and then be able to load them if you ever have to reinstall itunes or there is some other issue. I know you can just put the music into categorized folders in windows explorer, but that doesnt allow you to have the same song in more than one playlist unless you copy the music file. I dont think it would be very hard to do, just save to some file that stores the file name and location of each song. then upon importing the playlist, it could scan the saved location for that file and add it to the playlist if its there, and if not it could ask you what other folder it should scan in for that song. I think this would be very beneficial for people that create many large playlists that would take hours to recreate.
Thanks for your help,
Adam

I assume you have installed the latest drivers for the card? I have that
card and dual monitors with no problems. By the way, go to the NVIDA
site and download the drivers, not the Sony site as some do. There was a
new version of the driver just last month.

2014 mac mini dual monitor problem

I just brought a mac mini (Late 2014) i have two displays monitors connected, one HDMI to DVI. and one thunderbolt to DVI. I can have both thunderbolts connected and the problem its the same, when back from sleep ,one monitor doesn't turn on. i have to disconnect one and then both work, it only happens when the mac goes to sleep. on cold restart or turning the mac on, this problem doesn't occur. any help.

I have this same problem too. I purchased the Mac Mini with the intention of running dual monitors. I'm using the HDMI and mini-display/Thunderbolt to DVI. I've also tried MiniDisplay/Thunderbolt to HDMI and I'm experiencing the same problem as angelfromfullerton. Whenever it tries to wake from sleep, it can't decide on monitor arrangement and keeps flicking between the two, making the OS unusable and forcing a reboot... EVERY TIME. I've also experienced the issue once or twice on a cold boot. It doesn't matter which Thunderbolt port is used either.
I'm going to have to return my Mac Mini unless this problem is fixed asap.
Mac Min, OSX Yosemite (10.10).

Dual monitor problem...

I have had my 13 inch macbook connected to my TV with no problems. Recently I unhooked the laptop to travel and when i connected it back to my TV, it only registers as having dual displays. Before I disconnected it, the TV was the only display shown on the computer, there weren't any choices for screen arrangement like there are now. and when i mirror displays the tv image does not fill out the creen as it did before and is all grainy and unappealing. Can someone please help me get back to how it was...so in short, can I turn off the dual moniters and pick just one display to use. I like keeping my computer closed.

Hi maloneisgood,
In order to use just your TV as your main monitor, first uncheck the Video Clone option from the Monitors panel (under System Preferences). Connect your laptop to your TV as if you wanted to use a dual-monitor setup, then Restart your MacBook, close the lid and keep closed. When Mac OS is fully booted, you can open your lid again.

TV@nywhere Dual Monitor Problem

I have the regular TV@nywhere card.. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a dual monitor setup (extended desktop) on an ATI 9000 pro.. At some point over the last few months I began having problems dragging the WinDVR (player) window from one monitor to the other, resulting in the WinDVR process hanging, or an insta-crash of my system. It used to work fine...
I am assuming it might have something to do with one of 30 or so ATI patches that I installed since the last driver update from MSI. On a positive note, with the newest ati patch, the computer doesn't crash anymore, but the app still hangs (except for the audio which will NOT stop, lol)
MSI KT4V-L
Athon XP 2100+
512 MB pc2100
ATI 9000 Pro
MSI TV@nywhere
WinXP Sp1a

Lets start from the bottom and work up. Have you eliminated the cable & splitter hookup as the source of the problem by connecting to a TV? I had a problem similar to that when I first installed my TV@Plus and I had to remove/re-install the software and get a new cable & splitter before I could get it work.. No you don't need to use RG6. It does not hurt to have better but it's not a requirement.

Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
So here goes;
Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
-1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
-1440 x 900 (on the right)
With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

Win7 dual monitor problem

I am using Zenworks 10.3.4 and can only get one monitor to show in the inventory on Windows 7 machines . Xp dual monitors works though .
Is there a reason the agent isn't seeing dual monitors or is this configurable ?

Dual monitor problem with MSI 5950 Ultra

OK, I finally got the money to have a dual monitor setup.
I am using a MSI 5950 Ultra card
Soyo 600T Dragon Ultra MB
1 gb Corsair XMS 3500 ram
AMD 3000+ processor
Adaptec 2410SA SATA Raid card
4 Western Digital 74gb Raptors in RAID 0
2 V201S 20.1 inch Viewsonic LCD monitors.
XP Pro OS
I have updated all BIOS/DRIVERS on all hardware.
The problem is when I connect both monitors I get a system freeze. It is random and does not have to be event (ie mouse movement) generated. There are no event log entries. If I disconnect the analogue monitor the freezing goes away. Is this a known bug? If so when can I expect a driver/bios fix on the card? If not can anyone suggest a fix.
I have removed all non-essential cards.
THanks

Have you installed the driver of the monitor?

Dual Monitor problem on reboots

I have a dual monitor setup with nvidia video card and XFCE Desktop and I am having a minor irritating issue...
Sometimes when I boot up my dual monitor setup is fine, one monitor is set as left side and the other is right, set to span between the two. xrandr shows one as DVI-I-1 and the other as VGA-1
Other times on a reboot, both will start as identical and I will need to fix the resolution and set xrandr to span (I have written a small script to do this when the need arises). At these times xrandr shows DVI-I-1 and VGA-2, so I see that that is where the problem comes from...
My question is first: WHY does it seemingly randomly switch between VGA-1 and VGA-2, and second: how to fix it?

Maybe just a point in the right direction to where I should look...

If you could find a real ADC to DVI-I adapter, it would work, but the Dr. Botts ADC to DVI adapter
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Dr%2E%20Bott/ADCDVII/>
will not work with a DVI to VGA adapter. It does have a dual-link DVI-I connector, but the pins for analog video (and dual link) do not connect to anything. They use this connector because some non-Apple digital displays come with DVI-I and/or dual-link DVI plugs, when they only need DVI-D signals. The Dr; Botts adapter and (all others that I have seen) are only ADC to DVI-D. Even if they connect the dual-link pins from the ADC to the DVI connector, the result will be single-link DVI-D, since no ADC cards provide dual-link signals. There is no reason (other than cost) why an adapter couldn't connect the analog video signals from ADC to a DVI-I connector, but I don't know of any that do.
From their web-page:
"DVI Extractor II makes an ADC-compatible display out of virtually any third-party flat panel display"
Note they say "flat panel".
You need an ADC to VGA adapter. They are listed from $40 to $150. Still less than a compatible replacement graphics card, although you can get a card faster than you current one, if you pay enough.

Weird dual monitor problem with changing image colors

I have dual monitors, same brand and type, same color settings and adjustments, and so far image was the same on both of them. Nothing regarding monitors or color preferences I have changed, but suddenly I started having this weird problem. Example:
1. Here is the screenshot. I have pure red image, palettes and layers panel are on the second monitor.
2. I start dragging image window to the other monitor and STILL HOLDING the mouse button (like I said, dragging)
3. And when I release the mouse color suddenly changes.
If I pick window and drag again color returns to normal. As soon as I release the mouse color changes.
This is only happening on second monitor.
I re-installed graphic drivers, and also re-installed Photoshop CC 2014.
I also changed settings so the image both monitors show is the same (duplicate screen in windows) and there is no problem then. If I return to extended display problems FIXES. But as soon as I lock the computer, and login again the problem shows up again.
Any ideas what should I do or how to fix it?

I see your using Window have two displays. I not sure how windows handle profiles for both displays. Your displays are the the same models. My Displays are physically about the same size bothe 16:9. One displays 1920x1080 pixels the other 1360 x 768 so the resolution are quite different requires me to create special wallpaper. to make sean looks seamless or image on have the same composition.
I notice that when I drag a window between displays a size difference but the color consistent. When I release the mouse button I see a color shift and a screen capture shows this. And if I drag the split window the cole os once again consistent. I think what we are seeing is more a Windows thing not a Photoshop thing.
I'm using Windows 7 and CC 2014. I do notice my window drags over the toolbar and under the pallets on the second display. Your window drags under your toolbar.

Huge Dual Monitor Problem :( Please Help !!!

Hey, i'm having issue with setting up the dual monitor connection.
I took a video so you can see what the problem is .. basically, when i move a window in the middle of both monitors, the window either goes to one monitor or the other one. here is the link .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIep7zYwi-o&feature=youtu.be
Now, i want it to be on both monitors at the same time so that i can have the window extended on both monitors; so that it will be visible on both monitors at the same time (Not mirror mode)
How do i do this ? I've see on youtube this being done .. check out here (skip to 4:37) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJldWNcQl7M

If you are running Mavericks, you probably want to un-check "Displays have separate Spaces" in System Preferences > Mission Control.

Please help with these dual monitor problem

Ok,
Well i am a final cut pro editor and i have a power mac g5 with 1.6 ghz.Its an older one but it runs great for what i need done. Anyway i wanted to go dual monitors so i went out bought a monitor and set it in place. However my graphics card only had 1 DVI PORT (Which had my main monitor on) and the other one was a ADC port. I bought a ADC to DVI-D and then realized it was the wrong one. Those Adaptors are very hard to fine, so i made up my mind a decided to forget that and get another graphics card. However i am not very good with that stuff and i really dont know which one to buy. Some others gave me a list but they were not the same as mine (slots didnt match)
*Here is my card that i have now*
http://www.layton-family.net/stuff/stuff_files/image008.jpg
Can someone point me in the right direction about going to best buy and picking up a new one that will hold dual monitors and still run motion at a good level.
