I have Windows 7 premium installed on my Dell. Using instructions found elsewhere I loaded the Fujitsu drivers and have a worl 1024x768 display. The only problem is if I hibernate the PC, when it wakes up it thinks the display is spread over two monitor the digital flat panel on Intel 8230M graphics controller and a default monitor. Sometimes I can change the screen resolution to not use the second monitor but most time I have just restart. I never have this problem after a start/restart. How to fix?
I just had a quick question on the possibility of setting up a kind of like virtual machine for an additional monitor in my room. You see, I am Renovating my room, and in the process, I am going to be building a custom queen sized bunk bed And on the top bunk, we are putting a 32" LED, and i was wondering if there was anyway to set up that screen as a virtual machine, with its own keyboard and mouse. I have a Logitech G19 and gaming mouse that I primarily Use, but i have an extra wireless Logitech keyboard, that i use for typing essays and such. So basically i want to be able to use the wireless keyboard on the top bunk, so that, lets say, if im playing games on my main screen, someone else can be watching movies or surfing the web on the bunk bed screen. Any Ideas? I know that i can extend the desktop, and just drag over a movie to the other screen, something along those lines, but in that case they wouldn't have their own mouse, it would be dependent on mine.

My new Dell computer came with what looks like an extra taskbar at the top of the Windows 7 desktop, although it's bigger then the taskbar. Was there from the first time I turned on the computer. It's disappeared with no explanation.
I've spent over an hour looking at Windows 7 desktop screen captures and tutorials, and can't find anything that looks like it, and almost all other photos I've seen of the Windows 7 desktop don't have it at all.
I'm guessing this is something that the Dell OEM version of Windows 7 uses? Is it even part of Windows 7 or is this something from Dell? I'm not even sure what it's officially called, and don't know how to get it back.
The closest photo that explains what it looks like is attached. In that photo, it looks like someone took it and made it into a circle, but on my Dell computer it was on the top of the desktop in a straight line.
I'm using dell 2408 monitor and having an issue with screen resolution. It only lets me set at 1920 x 1200. I usually set it lower so to see the desk a little better or bigger. At this resolution i have to set the text to 150% just to read it. I have 20/20 vision. CAD - skin using is called the wall - is the only one fitting perfectly to my monitor settings that are at 1920 x 1200, the larger skins that are supposed to fit are going over to my second monitor so i know they are wrong.
Also some programs are so tiny even with the 150% text. Jaikoz is what i use to tag my music and it is so small of a text that I can barley read it without using cheaters - making me wondering wtf is going on. using a diamond radion x1050 card, guess that could be problem why i'm asking.
I received my copy of Windows 7 on Monday, which was nice I was expecting it to get lost an undelivered pile of letters somewhere.
Anyway, I’m weighing up whether to go ahead with the instillation now or not.
I’ve got a Dell 19” SE198WFP monitor. It’s running at 1440x900 resolution with Vista using an ATI HD3850 graphics card. I’ve been getting together some Windows 7 drivers ready for the install but can’t find any for the monitor.
Dell has started rolling out Windows 7 drivers, but it doesn’t appear to be supporting my monitor (yet). Dell Monitor Drivers and Downloads
The Windows 7 compatibility centre isn’t live yet either.

What would people suggest, as I don’t want to be left with an odd resolution.
Is there a generic 19” driver which would work?
I played around with a RC of Windows 7, all be it on a different very basic PC, but using the same monitor and had no joy installing the Vista drivers.
I recently got a new computer and a new monitor. The problem is that the only monitor that is displaying is the default Generic PnP Monitor. The monitor came with a drivers CD, but I don't know where to install the drivers. In the readme file it says to find the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and install manually, but the only monitor that's displaying is the Generic PnP Monitor. I have absolutely no clue what to do at this point. Also, the monitor is supposedly 1600 x 900, but the resolution that looks the best on my desktop is 1600 x 1200 (4:3, even though my monitor is widescreen. All other resolutions look blurry). While playing games it is 1680 x 1050 that looks the best. I have updated my graphics drivers and everything (Nvidia Geforce GT 545).
I have a dell monitor when I installed Windows 7 on my celeron computer it seems that monitor is somehow disoriented of flickering whenever its opening up. Is this harmful to the monitor? I have an ATI built in video card. I'm just testing win 7 on this computer. I can't wait till finish buying the parts for my new computer.
I'm trying to use my Vizio TV as a monitor for my dell Inspiron n5050 using VGA/SVGA video cable. I clicked "detect" in the display section of the control panel and an alternate monitor does not appear. The cord is secure and the TV is on the right setting. What am I doing wrong? Do I need a driver?
I have a Dell Monitor model # 1908fwpt and we have used it as an external for a few laptops now, and on the last two hook-ups it has constant, non-flickering white horizontal lines across the screen. The only resolution that doesn't is 1280x1024 for some reason. I have changed the cables, used both VGA and DVI, and run the self-diagnostics and updated all drivers. I have chased this issue up and down and not been able to come up with a way to fix it. The monitor is not old, it hasn't been used very much, and I really don't want to replace it...
Since its done it on a few different computers I tend to think its not a driver issue, or a cable issue... And the one resolution it works on is all stretched out and flat.
getting the driver for the Dell LCD Monitor 2007WFB - OS installed is Windows 7 64Bit. Infact I have tried many times to download the drivers from the net, there are no Win7 drivers listed in Dell site for this product. I tried to use Vista drivers, unfortunately no use. Still I could see in the display properties & in Device Manager - "Generic Non-PNP Monitor"
System specification:
Intel DG41KR Motherboard with Intel C2D 2.66Ghz CPU 320HDD
This is not a typical BSOD crash. My Dell Inspiron's monitor intermittently doesn't wake up once power management shuts it off. The problem is monitor doesn't fully shut off. One way to know the monitor won't wake up is when the CPU is griding away, fan is on full blast, laptop heated up, monitor still has a faint white brightness but no disk activity. I have tried connecting the laptop HDMI and VGA output different monitors and TVs but the monitor/ TV doesn't recognize any input signal during this phase. Yesterday, CPU suddenly started griding away without a pause while I was working and the base plastic was so hot I couldn't place it on my lap anymore. System Idle was 95-99%; I wanted to check whether laptop will not wakeup after power management kicks and this morning I couldn't wake up the laptop and had to cold boot it
I cannot put my laptop to sleep or hibernate when this occurs, the computer will just keep griding away with fan at full blast but will never hibernate or sleep.
I've run chkdsk, defrag etc but no issues were reported. I have checked for viruses etc, nothing obvious.
When monitor started crashing in XP Professional (up to that point --great operating system) couldn't find any upgrade for Radeon Display Adapter driver so decided to upgrade to Windows 7-surely updated driver included. Windows 7 installed fine but did not fix monitor problem--had to repeatedly restart computer to get to dos repair.
After hours of online research finally discovered the following link for ATI Radeon video card driver. It is a Vista driver but works in Windows 7. Be sure to download driver that works with your system configuration.
ATI Catalyst? Legacy Display Driver Vista - 32-Bit Edition
Like Mac has the ability to add extra desktops can Windows 7 do it too ?Or even a way to let me increase my desktop size so I can slide around to different parts of it ? Can it be done or do I have to download a 3rd party software ?
I got a new desktop just under 2 months ago. It's not a big deal but it can bug me sometimes. This is what My Computer looks like:OS C: is the primary internal HD.Local Disk L: is my 320GB external HDD.DVD RW D: is my one and only CD/DVD drive.E:, F:, G: and H: drives are non existent as physical drives installed on the computer, but they appear as options within the menu. How do I get rid of these if they don't even exist?
In the screen shot, C, E, and F are legit volumes/drives. I have no idea what this Local Disk 'Q' is. I try to open it, says not accessible (and it shouldnt be because it doesnt exist)
Also, Removable Storage, I have 1 DVD drive, the rest G - L are bogus. One of those is listed as a BD-ROM which I dont have either.
I am planning on upgrading from XP to Windows 7 Professional fairly soon. I know that it performs a clean install and that I need to back up my C drive.
My question is in regards to my secondary hardrive. Will the clean install also wipe the second hardrive or will it leave it untouched? Basically, can I back up my C drive onto the secondary drive without fear of losing it all? I would assume it would leave the second drive alone but I couldn't find any info and thus, why I am here asking.
Amazing how fast one uses up the USB Ports supplied in the desktop PC.
Am trying to only use the ones in the back, as it gets messy if I also use the two on the front.
Have an external powered 4-Port hub that I purchased, and am using that also.
Seems like I need another one or two spigots.
Question: If I get another powered external 4-Port extender, can this be plugged into a port on the existing extra Port extender I already have, or must it only be plugged into one of the USB ports in the back of the PC ?
Does it matter at all, and the PC will recognize it either way ?
How do I set an extra mouse button as a key from my keyboard. Example, I want mouse button 5 (a button on the side of my gaming mouse) to be the keyboard key 5
I have 4 partitions...1 with 7, and another with Vista. I want to put XP on also, but of course I can't create another primary. I'm pretty sure I can add XP on a logical, but don't know how. Am I right, or am I out of luck with XP.
Ok, I just got a new Windows 7 Computer (yea! ). When I open up My Computer, it shows 4 "Removable Drives" (Which, I assume, are from my flash card reader, though there are no cards in them). They are hidden drives, but I set it so that it will show hidden files and folders.... I don't like all the clutter of the extra unneeded drives, so is there a way to hide individual drives?
I use W7 and Thunderbird email. Each time I print an email (text) even if only a few lines, I get an extra full page of return paths, authority, analysis, originating, etc. Covers everything from soup to nuts. Printing anything else is great, no problems.I have checked all settings and can find nothing that looks abnormal. If I copy and paste and then print..no problem.I have an HP Photosmart C4640, Can't find anything on HP website that relates. Does anybody have any ideas?
I recently partitioned my hard drive (using Paragon Partition editor) and it failed, after finally getting my MBR working again, I only had 800GB rather than 920GB. This was the amount I had tried to allocate to a different partition, yet it does should 920GB some places. This shows the problemI really need to get the rest back ( I make movies and need space)Gparted finds it as 920.04 GB's, so it is definitely Windows that will not detect it.UPDATE
how to get this done. I have an HDMI and a VGA out on my laptop, or I can do a VGA out on laptop, and an additrional VGA out on it in a docking station plus I can do DVI from dock to HDMI on one of the monitors. I felll like I'm about there, but am missing something.
I plugged it into my pc, but I cannot see it either in Windows or in the BIOS. I want to run a diagnostic of it to see what is wrong with it, but since I can't access it I can't do anything with it.
