Windows 10 thinks 2 graphic cards = projector

Lenovo IdeaPad P580, Windows 10
> All the drivers are up to date
When I boot, the screen stays black but displays the pointer. That's because Windows 10 believes a second graphic card is like a projector, so the image is "sent" to a non-existent other screen. With Windows + P, this can be solved, but this is very annoying. Isn't there some sort of workaround ?

Hi Gary!
How many graphic cards and monitors are you using with FCP?
It would be nice to have two X1900 but it's not possible with current architecture :\
OK a would buy another ATI card but I think it's hard to find any other than X1900 for MacPro's

I think my graphics card went out?

Ok I looked for about an hour and found nothing on this. I just bought a power mac G5 with dual 2.0gig processors and 4 gigs of ram. It has 8 ram slots. I think its early 05. Anyway I used it for about a day I had it plugged in to my monitor which has a vga and a dvi port on it. I had the vga plugged into my g4 but I didnt have a power cable or anything else plugged in it. I dont know why but it was. I had my G5 plugged in the dvi. It worked fine. The next day I decided I want to move the G5 to the other side of the room. I shut the computer down unplugged everything moved it and put it back together, but I didnt plug in the G4 cause Like I said I didnt know it was like that till I saw it. Tried to start it and the screen just says no cable attached. I went and bought a DVI to HDMI to plug it into my flat panel TV and same thing. I noticed when I turned it on it bongs, all the lights are normal, but the fans slowly start speeding up after a few mins. I guess its the AGP card if you know for a fact it is and could recemend a good graphics card that could drive two 20" apple cinema displays for normal use and could drive one monitor with really good graphics for games and stuff that would be great oh and It cant be more than like $200 - 250 if possible.
Thank you!

thanks again japamac. I tried that though. I grounded myself, took the card out reseated it. I even got dust remover and dusted the slot and the card. This really *****.

ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card Windows 8 driver missing

I just installed Windows 8 Enterprise Trial version on HP nx9420 laptop (2GHz dual core prosessor, 4gb memory, ATI Motility Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256mb own memory, 1680x1050 native display resolution) on second partition, side by side with existing
Windows 7.
Installation succeeded perfect, except Windows 8 couldn't install, nor did find from Windows Update display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card. Only Microsoft generic display driver was installed and it offered maximum 1450x800 resolution,
so not laptops native 1680x1050 screen resolution.
Windows 7 can install working ATI driver right from Windows Update for that graphics card (version 8.561.0.0 dated 1.12.2008).
Laptop manufacturer HP has latest, old driver for Vista (version 8.453.0.0 dated 22.1.2008), so I installed that, selecting compatibility mode Vista with setup-program in Windows 8. That installed, but seems to have some problems, telling of missing library,
maybe with some ATI extra diplay manager software and C++ 2005 library, that it installed.
MY QUESTION: Is there some problems with Windows 8 and that ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card? Why isn't the Windows 7 -version of ATI mobility radeon X1600 display driver available in Windows Update for Windows 8 too?

Thank you all of your thanks.
I can confirm that this solution works with Windows 10 Technology/Insider preview too. And surely works with forthcoming Windows RTM too.
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TP work both like a charm with nearly 10 years old HP Compaq nx9420 laptop, with Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display adapter. Nice co-operation of "old" hardware and very Modern Windows OS.
So in brief:
If you have laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or other X1000-series display adapter and
you want to install Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, do this:
0) First just install Windows 8.x/10. It will install Microsoft Generic display driver, but that doesn't support full resolution of ATI Mobility Radeon X1000 -series - for example it may show maximum 1400x1050 -resolution, thus your laptop display and Radeon
X1000 may support native 1650x1050, but you can't obtain that resolution with that Microsoft generic driver. So you need ATI-driver and you can get it this way:
1) With Internet Explorer (this doesn't work with other browsers) go to
Microsoft Update -catalog: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/
2) Search "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600"
(or X1300, X1800 etc)
3) Sort search results by date (last update -column), latest on top. You will see drivers for Windows 7
- they will work with Windows 8.x and 10 too. There is certainly two of them; other is 32 bit only and other is 64 bit dirver.
4) Select proper driver version of them, according your Windows 32 or 64 bit, so click Add
5) At top-right click Show basket and then download those driver packages to your computer. They are cab-file
-packages.
6) Obtain 7-zip -utility, install it and with it unpack that cab-driver package on folder with its package-name.
7) On start of taskbar, right mouse button click Windows-Start and then select Hardware management. On
Hardware management -window open Display adapter -section, then mouse right click Microsoft adapter and select Update driver. Then on next window, select search driver from computer.
8) Browse on folder, where you unpacked ATI driver (on stage 6 earlier) and select Next ... that updates
driver, on the go and you don't need even to reboot Windows.
9) Now you have proper ATI Mobility Radeon -driver in use. It surely sets automatically resolution
according your laptop screen (so recommended native resolution of screen panel) or you can select that on diplay settings.
Extra: For that Windows 8.x/10 boot works fine too, do this too:
Seems that Windows 8.x (and Windows 10 too), with their hybrid-shutdown -functionality, require some support of the display adapter, that ATI Radeon Mobility x1000 -series don't have.
So the solution is to disable that Windows 8.x (or Windows 10) hybrid boot -functionality (that is quicker boot) and to use "normal boot".
You can fix that this way:
- at end of Taskbar click battery/power icon and select Power settings
- navigate to power and sleep settings
- either at bottom of those settings, or in Win10 more power settings, select power buttons functionality/settings (so what power button, sleep button or closing laptop screen does)
- at bottom of those settings is shutdown options (or with similar name). uncheck "use quick boot" -settings (for to uncheck that you may need to click first upper "changing disabled settings" (or similar name) at top or windows)
(I recommend to check Hibernate at the same time too, because that is usefull)
- then Save settings and reboot Windows and you have got rid of that problem that Windows 8.x/10 don't show Lock screen, now it does.
Boot takes just a little longer, so practically no problem. And if you need quicker boot with laptop, use Hibernate-state, so don't shut down your laptop, but instead put it into Hibernate-state (that is better than Sleep mode, because Hibernate-mode doesn't
consume battery-power, like Sleep-mode does)

Is it possible to install a new Graphics Card ??

Hi - I would like to use Aperture 2, however, it looks like my Graphics Card is too old, and is not supported.
I think my Graphics Card is the following: GeForce FX Go5200
Is it possible to upgrade this ??
Thanks

Hi, Fantong. No, it isn't possible to upgrade the graphics capabilities of any Powerbook. The GPU and VRAM are soldered to the logic board. And you're correct in thinking your Powerbook doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Aperture 2. I'm afraid you'll have to upgrade to a newer, more powerful Mac or use a different software package.

Question about graphics cards for Equium L40 - 10X

Hi - new to this but really hacked off so hopefully someone can help me.!
I bought a Equium L40 - 10X in August and thought it was good for what I wanted, especially after seeking advice and speaking to 'an expert' at my local pcworld.
However, I think the graphics card is not good enough to support the games I have got - Medal of Honour Warchest, Hitman Triple Pack and Call of Duty 2. They all sem to recommend a nVidia graphics card as a minimum requirement. The card in the laptop is an Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family (I think) and the OS is Vista Home Premium.
Problems I am experiencing include loss of graphics and stuttering during play.
Can I upgrade to an nVidia graphics card or is the one I have got sufficient but I just need to change some settings?
Haven't got a clue really, so help would be much appreciated!

> I bought a Equium L40 - 10X in August and thought it was good for what I wanted, especially after seeking advice and speaking to 'an expert' at my local pcworld.
Either you was not clear enough or the expert from pcworld have provided the wrong information and wrong advice.
Fact is that the Intel shared GPU was not really designed to play the newest games.
The shared graphic card is simply not powerful enough to run such games smoothly!
> Can I upgrade to an nVidia graphics card or is the one I have got sufficient but I just need to change some settings?
NO, this is not possible because the notebooks graphic cards are fixed on the board and cannot be removed.

Graphic Card Problems

I have recently built a new system with the specs below.
I have been having a problem with the graphics card for this system. Initially I installed an "Inno3D GT220 1GB DDR2 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card" which after about a week started displaying a fault. (firstly graphical corruption which led onto BSOD.) I RMA'd it and got a identical replacement but this also started to go with a fault, (virtually the same problem.) I have now received another replacement though this time a "PNY GT 220 1GB DDR2 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card". Although this card is not showing any serious fault yet I am getting some graphical corruption.
To test the system I placed my 'old' PCIe 256MB 7300gt card into the Mobo and do not seem to have any problems.
My question is this:
Is there possibly some sort of conflict with the GT220 chipset and this Mobo? The 7300GT has no conflict?
The BIOS settings are the default settings and no OC. Is there a BIOS setting(s) that I need to alter?
According to the tech guys at Inno3D there should be no issues with the card.
I find it extremely unlikely that three graphics cards from two different manufacturers can end up with similar problems. It seems that the culprit could be the mobo/cpu which according to MSI are compatible. When the problem first appeared I performed extensive CPU and memory tests which came back as 'pass' so I do not think it is a performance problem.

Hi all.
I have a new motherboard (BIOS v1.5) now but I am still getting the corruption. This motherboard is allowing me to unlock the extra cores in my processor whereas the previous board wouldn't, even with the BIOS upgrade to V1.4. (possible sign that it wasn't working right.)
MSI have asked me to install V1.62 Bios. What do you think?
Graphics card working fine with Afterburner, although no alterations to the settings.

Is there a difference between the ati radeon 2600xt mobility and pro graphic cards?

After checking apples support website for compatible open-cl graphic cards, they list the ati radeon 2600xt as not compatible. The models listed for this card is the mac pro 2008. However, I have an imac 2.4ghz dual core with the mobility version of the same card. Does anyone know if my imac is compatible?
Thanks

I found the discrepancy.
Under bootcamp, windows vista identifies the graphics card as an 'ATI Mobility HD Radeon 2600 XT'
Under Lion X, the graphics card is identified as an 'ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro'
Go figure

Mac Pro 1,1 Graphics card

I have a mac pro 1,1 & I think my graphics card is going out. I use two 23 inch cinima displays. Recently I have been having problems wih my computer crashing & the screens will both turn a different color or Ill have these lines that will be across the screen (both screens). Im pretty sure its the graphics card, but Im unsure which to get. I use this machine for image editing & rarely video editing. No gaming.
I want to continue to use the 23 inch cinia displays which have dvi connections. Can anybody make a recommendation on possible cards to use. I dont want to buy one thats going to give me trouble if i upgrade the OS or anything.
Also one last note: One of my 23 cenima displays has the plastic peice covering the ground as it stopped working about a year ago until I did this mod which I of course fopund out about on here.
Any help will be grealy appreciated!
Best~

Your graphic card.... only you don't list one.
7300 - X1900 - 3870 - 4870 - 8800GT
to name a few, the first two were the only ones sold as OEM or BTO though.
The 8800GT can sometimes be 'brought back to life'
Same answer though as posted an hour ago someone else -
ATI Radeon HD 5770 MC742ZM A
Graphic Display Adapters Needed
Requires 10.6.5 or later.

Question about graphics card and motherboard

My laptop is a dv6500 CTO. I have the geforce 8400M GS video/graphics card in my laptop. Recently I was playing a game and my computer locked up. I restarted my computer and had a message from Windows 7 saying my graphics card stopped working. I than checked my device manager and it said the card was working properly. Well now it dies if I am watching a video, playing any game it lasts for about 5 mins.
I than went to the device manager and disable my card. Before my card was disabled, I was still able to loud windows fine. This is where I have my biggest question. If I disable my card, than why is it that I can still use my computer? Does the motherboard have a small chipset for video besides the graphics card? Is this graphics card welded on the motherboard or can I replace it?
I always thought on laptops the graphics card was part of the motherboard and if it went out than my screen would go out and that would be the end of it. Is that not true? Thanks for the help.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2371ea Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows 8 and a 300 watt power supply. To use the GTX 650 Ti you will need to upgrade the power supply to a 500 watt or 600 watt unit. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are known to fir most HP comsumer desktop computer cases and come highly recommended. The next thing you need to do is DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the BIOS. Doing these things should resolve your issue.

Video Graphics Card and the iMac

Can the video graphics card you have in the iMac be replaced with another graphics card?
Or is it hardwired in? Sorta like a wysiwyg?

Darren, thx for the list. I didn't think think the graphics card could be changed out, but I think it was worth asking.
Besides that, I think the Radeon 9600 card is a good enough card anyway

Problem with my amd graphic card

Hi.. I have a problem with my amd graphic card.. The card is amd radeon 6770m.. I did format on my laptop and when I tried to install the catalyst center which includes the driver, it displays a message which say that catalyst center stop working... I have downloaded all the versions of the driver since 2011 when I bought the laptop... But I have the same problem whichever version I try.. I also have updated the bios to the last version but nothing happens..I think maybe graphic card is broken.. Thanks for reading..

Hi @Lefteris93 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your I would uninstall all the software and drivers for AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control from the control panel and the Device manager. Restart the notebook and download from here.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase. This will help update the drivers that have been installed on the Notebook. If you graphics card was damaged or not functioning you would have a black or blank screen.
Thanks.

Which Mac Pro Graphics Card For A Multimedia Installation with 4 Projectors?

Hi All,
I'm looking for advice on a multimedia installation I'm working on as part of my thesis. Essentially I need to use my Mac Pro to run a multimedia installation that will use four projectors (Full HD) all displaying as one logical display. I then need to have two separate monitors to control back ground functions of the installation. My Mac Pro is an early 2008 model and intend to use the current graphics card to run the control monitors. So my questions are...
One of the main things I'm unsure about is if it's possible to output on more than one graphics output and have the computer see it as one display. Any one have experience with this?
Is there a graphics card compatible with OSX that will output to four displays simultaneously? Keeping in mind that it would have to have an option to see all the displays as one one single desktop so when I go full screen that the application I'm using will fill all four projector screens (I'm not concerned with edge detection or blending as it's not an issue). This display would be running at a resolution of 7680x1080 (4 x 1) or 3840×2160 (2 x 2).
If there isn't a four port graphics card, is there a similar type of card with just two outputs? Each display would would need to be capable of outputting half the combined necessary resolution each. I have looked at the option of using Matrox TripleHead2Go multiple display adaptors which would work provided I can find a card that will output to two displays while seeing the output as one singular desktop. That would essentially be two ports outputting the resolution above which can then be split among the Matrox TripleHead2Gos.
Finally, there is the small issue of what ports to use - DP or DVI? My understanding is that Dp can carry DVI so I'm covered in that case as well as DP cables being able to go slightly further in length than DVI? Any advice on this too?
Thanks,
Derek

The Mac already has the feature you need for seamless tiling of multi-display output. It has been built-in to Mac OS since System 4.2 was issued for the original Mac-II. It is called "Extended Desktop". Every well-behaved Mac Application can use it without modification, unless the author chooses to defeat the feature, as was done in some versions of iMovie.
Based on this feature, you are massively over-thinking the display and interface process. "It's in there."
When you set up multiple displays, whether on one card or multiple cards, the Mac can create an Extended Desktop. Each display provides a portion of this larger extended Desktop, and the displays are "joined" along the edges you specify. Windows split across displays continue to be updated and scroll as one window, regardless of the parameters of each display. The Arrange pane in System Preferences > Displays is used to re-arrange the Icons of each display to correspond with their arrangement in (real) space.
When the Mac Pro 2009 came out, its display card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT120, could be installed in multiples in every slot to get up to eight displays. It does not require Aux power connection. I believe it will also work in the 2008 model. It is still available in the Apple store:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (early 2009)

Premiere Elements 9 crashes with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards under Windows 7

I've just installed Premiere Elements 9 and found that it will not run at all with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards active under Windows 7. Per all the other discussions, I updated the NVIDIA drivers and Quicktime support to the latest versions. (NVIDIA version 260.99). I have both a 9400 GT and an 8400 GS installed, to support multiple monitors. They both use the same driver. The PRE 9 organizer will run, but as soon as I create or load a project it quickly crashes.
On a long shot I disabled the 8400 GS card in the Device Manager and now I can run PRE 9. Of course this means giving up one of my monitors. Any other ideas?

Over in the Premiere Pro area (or maybe it was in the Hardware section... didn't pay a lot of attention 'cause it really didn't matter to me) I read a message about using two nVidia cards with no problems (other than no dual-card SLI support)
I **think** that was with two SAME model nVidia cards
And, of course, PPro is completely different code, so PreEl may simply not work with two nVidia cards

Imac with radeon x 1600 graphics card will not send signal to projector

I am using an Imac running Boot Camp. The Imac has a Radeon X 1600 graphics card. I have installed the latest driver in XP. The Device manager recognizes the correct card.
The problem: I cannot get our projector to pick up the signal from the Imac. I have systematically gone through all the display settings. Others who have similar problems seem to have graphics cards with additional software that allows them to select a clone display feature.
Any thoughts? The projector works fine with a macbook running bootcamp (xp).

Hi Cathy and welcome to Discussions,
sounds to me as if you are missing the Catalyst Control Center, which usually provides these kinds of setting.
You can download both Drivers and the Control Center from the ATI/AMD website here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/mac/bootcamp-xp.html
The Control Center needs a Windows where the .NET Framework (2.0 at least) is already installed before installing the Control Center, otherwise it does not work.
You can download that from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd -aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
Hope it helps.
Good Luck
Stefan
