VX2245wm - Fails to detect display properly

I bought a ViewSonic vx2245wm monitor to go with my MacBook.
Problem is, sometimes when I start up with the display connected, the mac forgets the display type and sets it to a low res mode.
I have to press detect display quite a few times before it recognises the vx2245 monitor and it then gets back to normal.
Anyone ever had the issue of a mac forgetting the type of external display?
I connect using VGA.

Have you tried to check ''Mirror Displays'' ? I have Acer 22'' with DVI and I don't have any problems.

ATI Radeon HD 5870 failing to detect displays randomly during reboots

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 1,1 A1186 computer, MAC OS X 10.6.6, and I just updated the ole 7300 video card to an ATI Radeon HD 5870 I just purchased from the Apple Store last week.
Problem: Mac OS X 10.6.6 keeps losing the display settings during reboots and fails to detect one of the monitors (the Acer X233H) randomly upon reboots. I tried using two Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapters, but when that produced undesirable results I just plugged one of the monitors into the DVI diplay port and used just one of the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters. Then I tried swapping the monitors around.
I know both monitors and cables that directly connect to the monitors work fine as *they worked on the 7300 adapter*. I'm not using an Apple display, so I'm wondering do I have a bad card or is this common?
I tried reseating the card, completely disconnecting it and reinstalling it. I have both power cables plugged into the card, and both monitors will come up eventually if I keep rebooting my system (if they didn't come up the first time).
Please help... this whole experience is ruining my buzz for purchasing such a kick butt OEM card from Apple. Thank you very much in advanced.
I have 14GB of RAM, 2TB Western Digital (for backup/archival purposes), and an SSD Patriot Torqx 128GB Drive. The Diagnostics state they passed, and everything else works fine except for the display detection.
Here is the setup of the monitors I'm using:
Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 5870

OK, I took your advise and tried the "active powered" adapter last night. No dice. The monitor detection still doesn't work even after purchasing the $100 adapter for only 2 displays. Connecting one of the monitors to the DVI display in the back and connecting the other display to the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.
_This is not the solution as the problem still occurs._
I also tried reloading Mac OS X Snow Leopard last night wiping out everything on the entire partition to be extreme thinking that the system could be confused. I know I could've just deleted the configuration file, but hey... what the heck.
After applying the updates I was able to see both displays again, +_however again they got confused_+.
The end result is from what I believe that the card is inferior in the way it doesn't allow Mac OS X to detect displays properly and or a driver update needs to be issued from Apple to address this issue.
After trying multiple things it would appear that there is only 1 work around as suggest from above (put the computer to sleep). However, to properly fix things we shouldn't have to utilize work arounds.
Important facts that lead me to this conclusion are:
1. Mac OS X 10.6.6 does detect displays properly with the 7300 with no problem.
2. The monitors and cables work properly with the 7300 card, and other systems. So they are not the issue.
3. After installing the ATI 5870 card that's when we I experienced the issues that didn't go away no matter what cable I used or where I plugged the monitors.
a. Thus a $100 cable or a $30 cable worked the same for this issue.
4. Reinstalling OS X 10.6.6 completely and wiping out everything including the display configuration had no bearing on any of this.
Therefore, it can only be two things by deduction:
1. The firmware of the card needs a revision to help support multiple displays.
and/or
2. The driver for the ATI 5870 needs a revision to correct multiple display support within the Operating System.
However, I can't see paying over $500 for a card and an adapter that doesn't work properly. If there is no hope that Apple or ATI is working on this issue with the ATI 5870 card, I have only one recourse and that is not to support this particular ATI product and take it back. I know I can always just keep putting my computer to sleep, but over $500 for a video card and an adapter that is riddled with bugs is way too much for me.
*I'm taking the card back and reinstalling the 7300 until a proper card can be produced or an update is issued to specifically correct multiple display support.*
*Thank you* everyone for your help, I really appreciate it. *+However, the users of the systems can only do so much without proper support from Apple and/or ATI on this issue.+*

What version of flash you are using to create that swf?
Make sure you have compatible version of flash player for

Banking web site after login fails to display properly and says I need to have CSS enabled. Can't find how to do that.

Running FF 5.0 on Win XP Pro. Several web sites stopped displaying properly overnight without a computer shutdown or FF shutdown. One of the sites is a banking site which displayed normally until after login when it failed to display and there was a message saying best viewed with CSS turned on. I've restarted both FF and then the computer and FF to no avail. Tried both No Style and Basic Style Views with no change. Did not do a power off full computer shutdown and restart yet. Has only happened in FF 5.0. Never happened in previous versions.

Detect Displays no longer works after upgrade

Mac Mini 2009 - two weeks old, came with Leopard. Took some doing, but have it hooked up to Sony Bravia 40" LCD via Mini-Display port to VGA adaptor. Detect Display worked fine, connected at High Def resolution. Upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 today, and Detect Displays finds nothing, I can't get any more than 1280 x 768 out of the display, no high-def. Tried many of the tricks I found in forum - zapped PRAM, booted into safe mode, deleted windowsserver preference plist files. No avail. Is this a general problem with Snow Leopard?

I do have the same problem with the macbook alum. After the upgrade, i have no more resolution of 1080i, becouse it fails. Only res like 1280*1024 is the max i can get. I figured out that the profile of my LCD bravia is no longer detected by the display manager, back in 10.5 it was "Sony Lcd" (or something) now is "Vga display". EXTREMELY WEIRD is that after a lot of test's (reset ram, delete profiles, etc, etc) i try to change my vga cables, first try... no luck, back to the classical cable and "MAGIC" 1080i res came out of nowhere, and the profile was Sony LCD... but it was just one time (i reboot and it was gonne!!!) i haven't been able to recreate the same thing. So i still stuck with this subject and low res for the mini VGA display adapter!!!

Imac 2006 monitor won't display properly

The left half of my monitor is fuzzy and black on my 2006 imac. I have a cable to connect an external monitor. How do I get the external monitor to work properly. Right now when I plug in the external monitor, all I can see is when I move the mouse left to right (and off the imac monitor, it continues onto the external monitor. I am a beginner with all this.

Open System Preferences, click on Display, click Detect Displays, select your external display, and check the box for Mirror the Internal Display. That should make the external display what the internal display is supposed to show.
You might have to fiddle with Resolutions to get the external display to appear properly (if at all, because it is probably a bad logic board or graphic processor, which will make external display not work properly, and is a very expensive repair).
Good luck.

Windows Install fails to detect VSTO 4.0 in Windows machine

I’ve to install excel based application developed in VS 2010.
Windows installer fails while detecting VSTO in Windows 7/8/8.1. Its perquisites are .Net framework 4.0 client frame work and VSTO 4.0.
Even we have installed VSTO manually and re-run our setup and again we are getting the same error (“Installer was not able to automatically download the VSTO installation”), the custom message. Don’t know what is blocking to detect VSTO on some particular
machine. I'm using only this condition "VSTORUNTIMEREDIST>="10.0.30319" as in Launch Conditions from last 3 years.
Now from last couple of months I'm getting this error when instating my application, somehow when I add another condition i.e. VSTORUNTIMEREDIST>="10.0.30319" OR OFFICERUNTIME>=”10.0.21022”, it works properly.
I want to know that is there any windows patch is released due to which my installer is not able to detect VSTO in machine.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Utshek Jain

                    </div>
          </body>
</html>

You can set an explicit width and height instead of a percent but I presume you want the flash object to be the size of the browser window specifying 100%. You also have noscale specified so I presume you're detecting the flash stage size and are dynamically laying out your content based on available space. Is that correct?
That said, you're using XHTML strict but you have some invalid code. In browsers like IE that can be enough to pop compatibility mode and it gets messy. For instance the "align" attribute is not supported so you should remove it.
Using 100% of the space is tricky. You have a scrollbar that can be invoked if you use 100%. Try 99% so the browser doesn't fire off a scrollbar just incase.
Your CSS probably isn't doing enough either. Use your web developer tools in your browser to take a look at your object. You're only clearing margins on the body tag. Try something more aggressive to remove ALL margins and padding like so:
*,html,body,object,div { margins:0; padding:0; }
Your object probably has some margins or padding pushing it off screen and you're only setting margins for the body tag itself. Also a small CSS note. Anytime you specify a value of 0 you don't need to specify px, like 0px. No matter your unit, em, px, etc, 0 is 0. That's why I didn't put 0px if you were wondering.
Also I specified 'div' in the CSS above. It may solve some of your problems to put your <object> inside a <div>.
e.g.:
<div style="width:99%; height:99%;">
    <object ............>
    </object>
</div>
Keep the <object> at 100% width and height if you place it inside that <div>. The browser is very good at dealing with <div>s and should have no problem keeping your content inside it resizing properly.

IGoogle doesn't display properly

Hello all,
Yesterday, all was fine. Today, my iGoogle page won't display properly (running Safari - OSX 10.3.9 Panther). Get a notice that: 'Home tab has been sent. Sending failed.' Brother Mac running Panther has same problem. Page displays properly running Firefox, and also running Safari - OSX 10.4.11 Tiger.
Has anyone else this problem? Is this just another sign that Panther is getting old? (Google Mapping quit working about a month ago.)
Sniff..... The obits are already working overtime this month ..... Jon

Hello Surfcat and all,
Thanx for all the updates. Whenever the Mac goes on the fritz, the first thing I try to do is find out if it's happening to everybody or just to me. It would seem that I'm not alone, so I guess I feel better.
It's nice to know your iGoogle started working again, even if it subsequently quit. Mine has remained "hors de combat", without so much as a brief reprieve.
FWIW, one of my 'extra' Macs (they get lonesome, you know) - running Safari 3.1.1 in OSX 10.4.11 - displays properly (mostly), with just one or two small anomalies.
iGoogle and Firefox continue to work properly on both.
It's easy to get frustrated and angry, and ask, "Don't they care?". I would guess they do care, but gremlins have a habit of being easier to discover than to oust, and I'm just hoping somebody will gain some insight into what the problem is and let the rest of us know about it.
This has not been my week: first, iGoogle; then the spam filter on my eMail (Eudora)(does anybody else still use that?) quits working and I am getting litterally hundreds of ads for Viagra; and then the battery on my FIOS decides to expire and starts beeping - finally find the service number for that, get somebody on the phone, find out the battery can only be ordered by phone, only from the one company, only with a credit card, finally get two batteries in one box for twice the quoted price, spend hours on the phone trying to get that straightened out, get a sweet voice (Columbian) from somewhere in Georgia who tells me everything is all right, the credit will be issued immediately as well as the address label to return the extra battery.... needless to say, nothing has happened.
I swear I'm going back to writing letters, and remembering when A T & T telephone service was quick, courteous, efficient, and the envy of the civilised world.
Bah! Humbug! ..... Jon

X fails to detect monitor supported resolutions

I have 3 monitors connected to a Radeon HD 7750, using the radeon driver:
Left: NEC MultiSync 90GX², 1280x1024, connected via DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor
Middle: Samsung SyncMaster BX2335, 1920x1080, connected via DVI
Right: LG Flatron Wide, 1680x1050, connected via HDMI
On every reboot (warm or cold), X fails to detect the NEC monitor's supported resolutions. xrandr will only set it to 1024x768 or less, and it shows "no signal". However if I disconnect the VGA cable, plug it into another monitor (which is broken, but still powers on), and run xrandr again, it lists up to 1280x1024. If I then set the correct modes and layouts, then return the VGA cable to the NEC monitor, it works just fine. Turning the display off via xset doesn't cause any issue either. So on every reboot I have to move the cable to a spare monitor, set up xrandr, then move the cable back.
How can I save this working configuration and force X to apply it on boot even though the monitor for some reason claims to not support it?
I didn't have this issue with Ubuntu, but my setup was a bit different there, so possibly it just didn't manifest.
Here is the Xorg.0.log and journalctl -k from the most recent boot. The get-edid output is also interesting (and contains some control characters which pastebin removed).

The NEC on DVI would be only temporarily to get it's real edid-data .
Once you got that in a file, you can use a special kernel parameter at boot to force use of the real edid-data for the NEC monitor.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … s_and_EDID describes how it could be done.
Note that configuring this is tricky.

Pages are not displaying properly

Hi
I am using EP 7.0 SP 7.0. Some of the pages (like new ivew creartion page, Identity management page under User Administration etc.) are not displaying properly. The background is showing totally white and only the buttons and text are visible.
Though these pages were working fine before.
Is there any configuration change which is causing this?
Any suggestion ??????

Hi,
SAP recommends to use fully qualified domain names, when using the portal.
For example, to enter into the portal use "http://machine_name.company_name.com/irj/portal., instead of "http://machine_name/irj/portal".
Failing to do so may lead to inconsistency in communication on client side between the page and iViews.

CS3 Site not displaying properly

I have a newly created site which displays and functions
properly on my PC, where the page was created on CS3. On a test PC,
the index page displays properly, but all other pages have no
graphics and the format is incorrect. The links work ok. A previous
page I created does work correctly and is currently online.
Any thoughts on why all non-index pages cannot display images
or correct format? Again, it functions ok on my pc, but once I move
it off, it fails.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Can you show us a page with these errors by uploading it to
some webspace

MAX detects PXI-MXI-4, but fails to detect non-NI chassis

MAX detects PXI-MXI-4, but fails to detect non-NI chassis. My system is as follow:
NI PCI-6552 (NI DAQmx device)
NI PXI-MXI-4/ PXI-8331 (PXI system)
Elma chassis, with CompactPCI backplane (chassis and cPCI)
When I run MAX, it successfully detects PCI and PXI with the model number listed. However, the chassis is unidentified. Although my chassis is made by Elma, not NI, it has been confirmed that my Elma chassis, as well as the CompactPCI backplane that comes with the chassis, is compatible with the PXI.
When I clicked on "other chassis", the chassis.ini (driver) file is asked. But I've confirmed with Elma that no driver is required for the chassis.
What might be the problem? Thank you very much.
Manson

I'm having a similar problem, and from reading the above, it's not clear what one is to do if the chassis and link vendors say "there are no driver files, and none are needed" and NI says, "you must have the appropriate files, which are provided by the vendor." Specifically, I have a Jasper Electronics PXI chassis and a Hartmann StarFabric link (PCI bridge). My NI devices in this chassis (6071E, 6533) have always worked fine, and MAX displays them correctly under Traditional Devices and under DAQmx Devices. The PXI chassis shows up as "unidentified" in MAX, but this has never caused any problems before (and I've seen the same benign error with other non-NI PXI chassis). However, now that I'm using DAQmx, I'm trying to do the following:
DAQmxConnectTerms("/Dev3/PXI_Trig0", "/Dev3/PFI5", DAQmx_Val_DoNotInvertPolarity);
where Dev3 is a PXI-6533. When I start my task, I get the error message "Driver cannot complete the route, because the only way to make the route requires a trigger bus line, and no trigger bus has been configured in MAX for this device." The documentation seems to imply that identifying the chassis will automatically create or recognize the appropriate PXI trigger lines. Since the vendors don't supply any ini files, I tried faking it out as as PXI-8150 system with a PXI-1000 chassis, using the NI ini files; this resulted in entries for both NI cards appearing under "Chassis 1 (PXI-1000)", e.g.
PXI5::11::INSTR (PXI-6533)
PXI5::12::INSTR (PXI-6017E)
although their properties (in the pane to the right of the tree view) show their chassis and slots as "unknown." When I run my code, I still get the error message about needing to configure a trigger bux in MAX. Just for grins, I tried the same thing but with RTSI0 instead of PXI_Trig0, and got the same error. I created an RTSI cable under DAQmx Devices in MAX, and that made no difference. Help!
Thanks,
Larry

Thunderbird 31.6.0 sometimes fails to word wrap properly

Text lines sometimes fail to word wrap properly. Example: a sentence that contains the words "foggy bottom" , where the "foggy" is at the end of one line (when composing) and the word "bottom" is wrapped to the beginning of the next line appears like this: "foggybottom" when it appears in the "sent" folder. The two words were separated by a single space when composing. Does not happen all the time, only occasionally. I cannot reproduce this problem on demand - it only happens at random.

Can you confirm that you are using Plain Text, not HTML?
do you use Plain Text all the time?
Can you check the following and say what you have as settings:
