Windows 8 Monitor Problems

I have a TouchSmart tx2-1020US that I just upgraded to Windows 8. Most things work well but there are two troublesome issues 1) the monitor image will not flip when the monitor is flipped and closed. 2) The fingerprint scanner cannot be used to log in. Any help would be appreciated.

I do own one of the touchsmart notebook models and experienced the same issue when I upgraded to Windows 8.
Just to note, review this site by HP to get an idea of what to expect.
My experience has been the same as yours with my touchsmart. The problem comes down to the unit not being certified for Windows 8. More than likely, the unit was sold prior to October 1, 2011. As such, the unit more than likely will not receive Windows 8 software and drivers from HP. It is still a possibility and I will clarify that I do not work in the engineering division and do not know what units are planned to receive Windows 8 software and drivers.
Does the screen-flip button work for you? The auto-flip feature is more than likely not going to work in Windows 8 (at least, I was not able to get it to work with various workarounds that I tried).
The fingerprint scanner is another problem area. I installed the validity sensor driver and the SimplPass (Digital Persona) and was able to use the software in a limited form. I was able to enroll fingerprints, but it didn't actually work to sign me into Windows. It may work for websites, but I did not test this.
It just comes down to the unit not receiving any Windows 8 software and drivers at this time. Sorry.

  • 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.
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/A-M-and-Edge-Series-Th​inkCentre/Dual-monitors-problem-VGA-and-Displaypor​... is related.
    Anyone?
    Thx

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

    Hi,
    I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
    I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
    My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
    Thanks if you can help!
    Jack

    You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
    Joy joy hallelujah.
    Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
    Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
    Hope that helps.

  • [SOLVED] GNOME 3.8 annoying window resize problem

    Hello all fellow early-adopters :-)
    A very annoying quirk I've noticed, moving from GNOME 3.6 to 3.8, is that it no longer remembers, nor retains, the size/positions I set for many of my application windows. For example, my mail client (Evolution) is sized to fill most of my screen (centrally), with Empathy and Skype as long narrow windows on both sides - giving me a nice, broad "communications" overview on that particular desktop (with dev tools etc open on others).
    On 3.6, this layout was retained during my session, as well as next time I started these apps up.
    In GNOME 3.8, not only does it insist that these windows are always started as small little bunched-up windows that I need to resize, but every time a window displays a notification/warning (message in internal yellow bar inside the window - such as loss of internet connection, mail retrieval failure etc) it resizes the windows spontaneously to a stupid, small size that overlays the other windows. This is driving me crazy!
    Where can I learn a bit more about how window sizing / positioning works in GNOME 3.8, or is it finally time to switch to awesome wm? I want to love GNOME 3.8, I really do. It's so slick, but so... unpolished.
    I want to dig in an assist with problems like these, but I need some pointers to some background material first to understand the problem. Is it the window manager? Is it the app?
    ** UPDATE: Doing a full system upgrade, as of May 18, 2013, has resolved this annoying problem. My windows now stay where they belong, and start with the same size they were closed with. GNOME is now pleasant to use again :-)

    I really like GNOME 3.x though (and would like to understand the windowing behaviour), but if the annoying quirks are insurmountable, I will happily switch.
    Man I love GNOME 3.x. I admire the courage they had to change, basically, everything, and I find myself more productive with my GNOME 3 Arch box than with my good ol' Slackware KDE 4 box. I just hate those bugs - for example I filed a task in their bugtracker for this window resize problem I have with gedit. If it's a love/hate relationship, I think it's marriage ^_^
    With the 3.8 upgrade, deadbeef was having a similar problem with window size/position. I just recompiled it against the latest GTK+3 package upgrade (that came after the 'big upgrade' here on Arch) and it was fixed. But not with gedit

    Man I really hope this gets fixed soon, because aside from this one incredibly annoying issue I am loving gnome 3.8.
    I get the feeling gnome badly needs more beta testers, sizable regressions like this in "stable" releases happen way too often sad.
    I get the exact same feeling. Well bugs exist everywhere, there's no denying. But I think it would be wiser to 'alternate' the nature of each major stable release - one focusing on new features and one focusing on fixing bugs. For example if the only new features in GNOME 3.10 were the AppsFolder full implementation and the introduction of gnome-calendar, and the rest of the development cicle being devoted to fix bugs, I'd be more than happy.
    Like Fedora and Ubuntu, the fixed 6-month release cycle colaborates with the bugs. They don't do like Debian or Slackware which are released 'when they are ready'.
    EDIT: fout (yet) another bug. At least with facebook chat (haven't tested with other telepathy plugins) the buddy tray icon appear duplicate. Anybody with the same issue?

  • Can i hook an A1082 monitor up to a windows monitor as a second one?

    can i hook an A1082 monitor up to a windows monitor as a second one?

    I agree Steve, to come out with a new monitor that everyone has been waiting for and wanting so badly...........and to have it only work with their new laptops ?!? Very, very frustrating. They definitely cut off a lot of sales by doing that. Including myself, I know of 4 people right now that would have already bought one if it worked with other Macs. You know they could make a connector that would work with the iMac, or any other Mac.......but they chose not to.
    Sometimes it makes you wonder what they are thinking.
    ..........does me anyway.......
    Hopefully they will change that, and make it available for other ones soon!

  • Connecting iPod Nano 8GB video model to Windows 2k problems

    Hello!
    I hope someone can help, I had a MacBook that died and now I need to move our 4 iPods to the windows 2k environment. When you plug in the iPod it says that it needs to be converted to Windows, not problem, I click "OK" then iTunes starts and gives me the following message:
    The iPod "IPOD2" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later.
    Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K? Any help could be appreciated.
    I have the latest version for W2K, and I have 1 Nano that has syncd fine. Anyone have any ideas, I have searched and tried all the tech docs I could find to no avail. The iPod is visible in "My Computer" but when you click on it it asks if I want to format it, worried about doing that. Can't find any instructions on resetting the iPod back to factory/out of the box WITHOUT ITUNES! that may help!
    Thanks,
    John

    Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K?
    I'm afraid not. The last version of iTunes for Windows compatible with Windows 2000 was 7.3.2:

    ... and the third generation (video) nanos require at least iTunes 7.4.x (and 7.6 is currently recommended).

  • WINDOWS INSTALLER PROBLEM WITH DESKTOP MANAGER

    Please help!! I am a user of the Blackberry Desk Top Manager, running under Windows XP Service Pack 4.5. I recently downloaded the latest version of Desk Top Manager and I am getting the following error: - Flashing intermittently, whilst running the newly downloaded Desktop Manager - "Windows Installer Preparing to Install". I have removed the programme, downloaded it again from Blackberry's website and run my Windows updates to no available. I have now been advised that I must format my entire computer and reload Windows, which seems to be a rather onerous solution, as I have been using Blackberry's Synchronisation Programme for over a year successfully before this took place. I should appreciate it if you would let me know how this problem on my IBM Think Pad Laptop can be cured.

    The Windows Installer pop-up during installation and cannot continue, it seems that windows installer 4.5 is the cause, but I cannot uninstall windows installer 4.5 because many of my programs were using this..
    In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 installed?
    How far into the opening of the program do you get? Do you get to the Expert or Quick workspaces?
    And, if so, how long can you stay there? What are you doing when you get this message, opening a new project
    or opening an existing one that has been saved/closed or just trying to launch the program from the desktop icon.
    Are you running the program Run As Administrator and from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Do you have the McAfee antivirus program? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer
    with Premiere Elements 12?
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Have you verified at the web site of the manufacturer of the
    card that the video card/graphics card driver is up to date?
    If you do not know, check the Device Manager/Display
    Adapters to determine if you have 1 or 2 cards.
    Depending on your answers, the next step will be
    Uninstall the program the usual Control Panel way.
    (If you can get into the program long enough to go to Help Menu/Sign Out, please do that to deactivate the program
    before going to the uninstall in Control Panel area.)
    Do a run through with ccleaner (both the regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from
    incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
    Reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewalls disabled.

  • Does Running Boot Camp Solve Mavericks' Windows-Networking Problems?

    Anyone running Mavericks in a Windows-server environment knows how agonizingly slow it is populating a window on the server if there are more than a few dozen files in it (we have 25-30 folders on our Windows server that have more than 10,000 files in each one, and they are all images files with sizes between 5 and 50 MBs each). When we open a folder that's on the server in Mavericks' Finder, it can take up to 30 minutes to populate that window. We have since reverted to Mountain Lion and although it's still slow to populate those windows, it's nowhere near as slow as Mavericks, and once the window populates, as long as we don't shut down the computer, the next time we open that window it populates within seconds (I'm guessing that some sort of cache file is created).
    Does anyone know if running Windows in Boot Camp (or Parallels) would speed up the Windows-server window population problem? I'm guessing it might but I'm not sure if the computer is still connecting to the server using the Mac networking protocol. If I use my Windows 7 PC the server windows populate almost instantly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Detection of windows registry problem

    I'm using illustrator 5.1 on PC (win 8.1). Currently the software has prompted with the message issuing the detection of windows registry problem. I can still use it if I choose allowing it to get fixed immediately. But it still prompted every time I open it. What can I do to fix it as I lost the installation disc?

    I was finally able to solve this by:
    1. copying a Sun/swdp directory from a different computer to this one.
    2. tried to uninstall, this failed.
    3. reinstalled swdp over this directory, specifying server integration. This failed.
    4. reinstalled swdp over this directory, specifying no server integration. This succeeded.
    5. uninstall. Delete swdp directory.
    6. reinstall fresh.

  • Activity Monitor problems increase CPU and power burn

    Migration Assistant worked very nicely, transferring from a Powerbook G4 with 30GB of files and data in about 45min via Firewire.
    However, after 2 days of usage, the CPU was still running at 80% and applications were incredibly sluggish. My battery calibration at full charge only showed a little over 1 hour. Activity Monitor also would not show any processes -- the list was completely blank.
    The solution was to rename the Preferences folder, allowing programs to create a new Preferences folder. I then selectively populated the new folder with the main old preferences for mail, Safari, etc. This not only solved the Activity Monitor problem, but immediately drove down the CPU usage to about 10% where I'd expect it. Now the battery shows over 2.5 hrs on a full charge with the screen on full brightness (and it's BRIGHT!)
    Also, Microsoft Word/Powerpoint/Excel/Entourage: trial software on the MacBookPro will mess up your migration, so delete the trial software BEFORE MIGRATION ASSISTANT.
    Hope this helps some of you out there!

    Another thing users who run Migration Assistant should know is that many of your background processes and helpers may slow down the Macbook.
    For example, I notice that a bunch of PowerPC menu items running under Rosetta slowed things down. Also, the Microsoft Office Autoupdate background process, which is started from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items constituted one Rosetta process running all of the time.
    When I remove/disabled these background processes, I noticed a significant difference.
