Side-by-side 2 monitor configuration changing to top-to-bottom

Hello all, I am at work and I am running an HP PC on Windows 7 with
2 monitors that are sitting side-by-side
physically.
The models are:
NEC EA243WM, and
HP ZR2440w
Both monitors connect to the same video card inside the HP PC using DisplayPort cables.
Both are set to run at maximum Resolution of 1920x1200 (recommended), and 
Orientation is set to Landscape, with
Multiple Displays = Extend these displays.
So I get everything working in a manner that I need, which is side-by-side and there is a little picture above all of these settings showing the
virtual monitor arrangement as Monitor2 (on the left) and Monitor1 (on the right) it shows in a little picture as side by side.  This setup of physical arrangement of the monitors in a side-by-side configuration works very well with the
virtual arrangement of the monitors in a side-by-side configuration for approximately 1-2 weeks.
Then on any given number of days later, the virtual monitor arrangementswitches  to top-to-bottom, with monitor #2 on top and monitor #1 on the bottom.  I discover this every
week by accident because I cannot move a small window from right screen to left, or left screen to right.
It has been going on for about 2 months now.  I have already swapped the DisplayPort cables on the PC end around, I have not yet tested changing both cables to
hopefully known tested good cables; but, come on, do I need to do that?
I believe this problem is truly software based.  Has anyone else observed this behavior?  Could the video cables be causing this intermittent side-by-side to top-to-bottom changeup?
Please help,
Warron

Since this is a brand new PC, then I suppose the video card inside is different from the previous one, or there's a compatibility issue, have you checked this issue with the manufacture, since they're more familiar with the specific product?

  • Monitor fades grey from top to bottom and must restart

    Over the past two weeks my Mac has been acting up. I will be working in CS2 and while searching for a file to open through one of the apps my monitor fades to grey. It starts top to bottom like a slide. I can still see my open windows, but they are behind this grey window and then a message comes up in four different languages saying that I must restart by holding down the power bottom. What is going on? I have not downloaded anything recently. Do I have a virus? HELP!

    Welcome!
    You're having a kernel panic.
    It is often hardware related,
    so after you've read the articles I've linked below,
    start by unplugging all your peripherals except the keyboard & mouse and start testing.
    Bad RAM can also cause these.
    You should get it taken care of ASAP.

  • HT1338 Left hand side of monitor dims on 2011/intel based iMac-any suggestions?

    Left hand side of monitor dims on 2011 /intel based iMac-any suggestions? Called apple support. Restarted-didn't help. Unplugged my second monitor from the thunderbolt port-didn't help. Unplugged center cord in the middle on the back of the monitor-waited 15 seconds, restarted, held down option-command-p-r and this didn't help. Apple support thought that it was most likely a video card/hardware issue, but would like to hear of any other trouble shooting suggestions.

    Not a hardware issue, since it shows up in a screenshot. Please boot in safe mode, launch Safari, and test. Same problem?
    Some things won't work in safe mode, possibly including wireless networking.
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

  • Left side bridge panels configuration question

    The left side of bridge has panels, and one shows at a time, but it shows all the way top to bottom.
    That's more than I need, and I would like to have 2 panels open there, one above the other, each using 1/2 the length.
    How to do please?

    You can move the panels around. Switch sides. I have just the Preview panel on the left, covering the entire main monitor, then the others on the second monitor. It works like a puzzle where you move little plastic squares inside of a larger square with one missing (can't think of the name for this type of common puzzle). Just experiment.

  • Change IM Chat screen to Top to Bottom from Side t...

    I do not like the new UI! I prefer the older version. Specifically I have a problem with the chat window being forced to the side of the screen instead of from Top to Bottom like in the previous versions. If there is a way to change this I would like to do so. I believe where the chat screen is located during calls should be optional and adjustable. Where the chat screen is located is important because it affects the resolution and size of the video. A wider video for instance might be prefered over a narrower look.

    I'm not sure exactly where your tabs are, but generally speaking, Firefox can place them either above or below the address bar, always above the web page content. To get them on the left side typically would require an extension.
    If you have one named Tab Utilities on the following screen --
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    -- check out this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/953933 My tabs are on the side... how to get them back to normal?]
    If that's not it, could you possibly post a screenshot showing where they are? This article has tips on how to capture one: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

  • Init SID .ora during configuration of Data Guard - advice required

    Hi All,
    I am looking to implement data guard across 2 RAC clusters. One cluster will be primary and the other is for Disaster Recovery.
    I have already set up the two 11g R 2 RAC clusters on RHEL 5 and now need some pointers to good docs for data guard install.
    Can some one direct me to good step by step info for configuring data guard between to RAC clusters - detailed explanations of each step would be useful too, in particular around the init.ora file configuration changes between the primary and DR sites
    Much appreciated

  • BGP Notification received, configuration change

    Hi,
    We are  monitoring a BGP peering flap for a fraction of seconds approximately every three days for a particular neighbor. We are seeing this behavior consistently for a Month.
    Jun 10 08:55:15.566 NST: bgp[1041]: %ROUTING-BGP-5-ADJCHANGE : neighbor x.x.x.x Down - BGP Notification received, configuration change (VRF: default)
    Jun 10 08:55:15.565 NST: bgp[1041]: %ROUTING-BGP-5-NBR_NSR_DISABLED_STANDBY : NSR disabled on neighbor x.x.x.x on standby due to BGP Notification received (VRF: default)
    Would like to know what does the error messge indicates  "BGP Notification received, configuration change"

    There might be a clue in the bgp trace on the device that experienced this condition:
    show bgp trace and look around the time of the notification down.
    Depending on what is on the other side, I think that hte investigation is better done on that node as that was the originator of the change hence bringing the peer down.
    This can be as simple as an address family add or remove, things like that. When capabilities of a peer change, they have to bring down the peering since they are only sent in the OPEN message.
    IF it is very periodic, I would also verify and check what might be happening during those time windows, especially on the peer. Maybe there is a config script that could induce things.
    If that peer is an XR device, the bgp trace will be very helpful in that regard.
    If itis an IOS device, then maybe you need to keep running some debug bgp event for around the time that you expect this flap, and a syslog analysis (sh log) around that time for clues.

  • Grid Console and Configuration Change Console?

    I have installed Grid Console 10.2.0.5, and now I'm looking at the Configuration Change Console URL (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/config_control.html) wondering if I also need to install this as well.
    It appears that the Grid console has all the management packs in, so maybe the Configuration Change Console is a standalone product (i.e. I only want the change management side and not all of grid control?)
    Can someone clarify if I'm correct in this?
    Regards
    Stuart.

    Thanks. We are just a small IT shop (only 12 databases), so Grid Console and repository are on the same server. I take it that I could also install Configuration Change Console on the same server under a different Oracle home, and use the same grid repository for the Change Configuration Console?

  • DB Console:  Monitoring Configuration

    I was forced to use the DB console for one of the RAC database's in our environment due to a number of reasons. I'm familiar with GC but I've never used the DB Console. First, I wasn't able to find info on how to do a RAC configuration so I simply followed the same steps as it was a single instance DB. Both the repository creation and DB configuration went successfully. When I logged in to the Console, it appeared to identify the DB as a Cluster. The targets appeared to still require configuration, but everytime I go to Monitoring Configuration I get back "ERROR: You must have OPERATOR TARGET privilege to perform this operation." while logged in as either sysman,sys, or system ?:| ....

  • Configuration Change Audit Report in Prime Infrastructure 2.1

    Is there any plan to implement a Configuration Change Audit report in future releases of Prime Infrastructure (ie. 2.2)?  When I go into the Reporting area and run a Change Audit report under the Compliance section it doesn't give me any information in regards to configuration changes, only inventory changes.  There are managers who would like the ability to receive an e-mailed report of configuration changes within a 24 hours period.  Currently the only way I can tell that you can get this information is by logging into Cisco Prime and going to Network Audit under Operation / Device Work Center.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Configuration Change Management (with Baseline Compliance reporting) is projected for the next release after 2.2. As of now that's projected to be ca. April 2015.
    On a side note, last I heard, 2.2 should be out in the next couple of weeks.

  • CCMS Alert Monitor (edit monitor-configuration.xml. ?)

    Hi Friends
    I'm trying to change the default polling time for the CCMS Alert Monitor, 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
    In http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/e5/5d1741b393f26fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm you can read:
    Accuracy
    The default polling period for the monitor is 30 minutes. If you want to have shorter polling periods, you can change them in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator as follows:
    1. Choose Availability and Performance Management ® Resource Monitoring ® Java System Reports (alias: /nwa/java-sys-reports).
    2. Select an arbitrary Number of errors entry in the monitoring tree of the Adapter Engine (leaf node).
    3. Choose Configuration in the right-hand pane.
    4. Choose Edit in the dialog box that appears.
    5. Change the polling period to 5 minutes, for instance.
    6. Choose Save and wait until saving is finished (be patient, since this may take a while).
    7. Choose Configuration Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Java Configuration Browser.
    8. Choose apps ® sap.com ® com.sap.aii.af.app ® Monitoring Configurator ® monitor-configuration.xml.
    9. In the xml file, change the polled-by-template period to the same value as above, for example, 5 minutes.
    10. Save the modified xml file.
    11. Choose Operations Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Start & Stop ® Java EE Services to restart the Monitoring service to apply the changes.
    But in step 9, the xml file I've found in my PI 7.1 (SP6) is this:
    <monitor-configuration>
    <monitor-semantics />
    <monitor-tree />
    </monitor-configuration>
    Also, there is no way to modify that file, you can only display it or download it.
    can anyone tell me how to edit the file.
    regards
    raja

    Hi Raja,
    This is the same as doing the following:
    You can locate the monitor-configuration.xml file in the SDA com.sap.aii.af.app.sda (inside META-INF folder). You can find this SDA in the install directory of PI installation. In this XML file please locate and edit the following tag:
    <template-info template-name="SAP_XIJ2EE_RCRDS">
                            <polled-by-template period="30" unit="MINUTE">
                                <generating-resource
                                    name="com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.mx.standard.XIJ2EEComponentMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
                                <template-attribute-mapping>
                                    <invoked-resource-method name="getMonitoringRecords"/>
                                </template-attribute-mapping>
                            </polled-by-template>
                        </template-info>
    Change the above to the following *************
    <template-info template-name="SAP_XIJ2EE_RCRDS">
                            <polled-by-template period="5" unit="MINUTE">
                                <generating-resource
                                    name="com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.mx.standard.XIJ2EEComponentMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
                                <template-attribute-mapping>
                                    <invoked-resource-method name="getMonitoringRecords"/>
                                </template-attribute-mapping>
                            </polled-by-template>
                        </template-info>
    The main change is the polled-by-template value from 30 mins to 5 mins as per your req ******
    Construct back the SDA (you can search SDN for that) with this edited XML and then redeploy this SDA with the help of JSPM tool.
    This will re-start the PI Server for the changes to come into effect.
    I hope this helps.
    PS: You can consult your BASIS consultant to locate this sda and re-deploy it on PI Server.
    Regards, Gaurav.
