I am wondering if there is a way I could hook up my laptop to the tv network in my home so I could display the screens on a channel and then turn all the tv's to that channel and then the laptop display would be broadcasting on that channel
I am very curious to know how to connect a laptop display to another laptop display. I have an old laptop and a new laptop with windows 7. I did some extended displays to other monitors. But any one have any idea about extending to a Laptop display from another Laptop.
I have a new Dell laptop running W7. The screen tint is far too blue and I have found the controls in the display section where I can modify the colours (and gamma etc).
I can adjust everything with no problems, but much to my annoyance, when I boot up again, all the settings have reverted back to the factory, too blue settings.
(I think that the settings even get lost if the laptop powers itself down through the various hibernate/sleeps etc; although I'm not that familiar with all of those options so am not sure.)
So, my question is how can I get W7 to remember these settings?
Somehow I managed to display the "Network" icon (not shortcut) on the desktop, but now I couldn't remember how to do it again on another 7127 installation.
I am having an issue with my VPN. When I am connected on the network at work I can access the shared drive not problem. At home though, when I am connected to the VPN, it will not display this folder. Everything comes up like it loaded but just no folders.
I have a HP Pavilion dm1z laptop. The laptop has a HDMI port. I am trying to connect it to my Samsung BX2335 display. The display has the DVI dual link port only. So I bought a HDMI - DVI adapter.I have Win7 x64 on my laptop.When I start the laptop with the external display connected, the picture is duplicated on both the laptop and the external display. But as soon as Windows starts, the picture will only be displayed on the laptop, 'Starting Windows' being the last picture shown on both displays.After some investigation it seems that windows could not detect the external display successfully. In the 'Screen Resolution' window the external display is shown as 'Display the device on: VGA'. It is impossible to view the properties of the external display, as the option is disabled, and the display is called 'Default Monitor'.I tried updating the AMD Radeon Catalyst drivers, but this did not help. Tried to install the external display drivers, but these installed as the mobile device display drivers.
I have rebuilt my system twice now and my system is still turning off the display and powering down randomly. I have followed all the guide lines for disabling sleep mode and it still randomly stops running by turning off the display and powering down. I have to push the power button again and then Windows start up in diagnostic mode where I can select safe mode if I want.

unrelated Also i have external hard drives hitachi 1 and 2 tb. When should i backup/replace them so i don't lose my data? Are there signs or signals to let me know and are there more reliable options for storing that much data?
Ethernet controller is a problem to my computer. I bought at Laptop from China, I removed Chinese Windows 7 and put English Version, then I had a problem of Ethernet controller.
I recently started to have an issue where I cannot access the internet on my PC. The network shows as connected and I can ping and tracert websites and IP's succesfully, but Firefox, IE, Windows Live Messenger and any other application cannot get connectivity. I have tried starting in Safe mode with networking and still have the same problem.
I have reset and bypassed my router and tried a direct connection to modem after a reset and still the same issue. I can connect no problems with another computer on this network and right now I am able to access the internet using Windows XP Mode in Windows Virtual PC. Any suggestions?
I have a Home network running Windows Vista, on the Network, is the server running Vista, An Acer Laptop running Win 7, A Hp Laptop running Win 7 and a Toshiba Laptop running Win 7. I have shared everything on all laptops but every time I try to connect It ask for a password. I went to the sharing option and changed the password on all computers to the same thing in home networks, I still cant access any of the laptops, Says the password is incorrect. I can access the Server with Vista, but just not the Laptops.
I am connected, yet I see the not connected icon for wireless and wired internet: I have restarted, cleared icon cash, ended explorer.exe and restarted it. Does not effect usage, just annoying. Does this on every network.
Okay I been working on someone's laptop. It's. Dell Inspiron 1420. This one you might have seem problems with the GPU. But that a the Nvida one. This one has intel hd GPU. So heres the problem the laptop starts nothing on the screen hard drive light stays on for about 2 minutes. But screen has nothing in it. But only a few times I the screen works when you start it by pressing the Fn and holding it down when you press the power button. But it takes you to the dell testing center.
I bought a LENOVO G560 laptop, initially my laptop was working just fine, but latter it started to dissatisfy me.I am facing a lot of problem, and most recently my display is going wrong. It abruptly flashes if I switch on my laptop for an hour.
Was not sure where to post this but does kinda come under networking to some aspect.
I have a laptop with a VGA output.I have a PC which has 2xDVI outputs. I also have a VGA -> DVI output cable.
I can connect the 2 just find BUT how can I view the output of the PC to the laptop? So instead of having another monitor/display unit, I want the laptop to be able to see the output from the PC as if the PC were connected to a display unit.
This is on a fairly new HP G72 running Win7/64. A soft drink was spilled on the keyboard, system ran fine after cleaning it up, then performed a scan and found malware. Removed the malware, rebooted and system boots to user logon no problem. After you log in, the screen flashes white for several seconds, then goes black/white quickly and then all black: no cursor, no nothing. A few seconds later you hear the Windows startup song.Connect an external monitor and you see the desktop perfectly. System shows no problem with driver, all settings look good, system can see both an LCD screen and the external as disply devices. Use the Fn-F4 key to cycle througn video outputs and it goes blank-blank-external. Once you get past the logon screen in Normal mode the LCD goes blank but the external VGA works a treat!Boot into BIOS, let it run 15 minutes and never lose the display. Boot into the Recovery Console and let it set and poke around for 15 minutes and it never lose the display. Boot to Safe mode and poke around for 15 minutes and never lose the display. Boot to Normal mode and after you logon the screen goes black but with the external VGA working perfectly.
Uninstall the video drive (Intel HD), delete the driver on the system and boot into Normal mode: the LCD works perfectly, no problems other than 800x600 resolution and 256 colors. Install the latest & greatest video driver for the system from HP, reboot to Normal mode and the screen goes blank after logon but the VGA still works great. In frustration I do a destructive restore, taking the system back to new-out-of-the-box condition and still get the same problem.Only thing I haven't done yet is a HDD reformat and OS reinstall from recovery discs. Trying to avoid that so I don't lose the recovery partition. Don't know if this is a rootkit/bootkit problem but my next step is to try rebuilding the MBR and BCD. If that doesn't work all I can think of is reformat/reload.Doesn't all this look like a software problem? I want to think it's hardware (remember the soft drink spill) but if the LCD video works in BIOS, and works in Recovery Console, and works in Safe mode but *only* fails in Normal mode with both the OEM and latest drivers, doesn't that really point to the OS?
I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5142 & Toshiba tells me the video card supports TV out. One article tells me all I need is a VGA to s-video adapter, but that doesn't work. (E-How) Another article tells me the jack on my computer must match the jack on my TV. (Windows.microsoft.com).
Too new to computers to know if this is needed to answer my question, but Windows 7 & Google Chrome.
Is what I'm attempting possible, or is it time to break down and get with the program with a HDTV ?
A few months ago my HP laptop stopped displaying background pictures. I can change the color of the background, but doesn't change if I tell it to do a slideshow or use a picture from my hard drive, and when I try to change the themes it only changes the look of the windows and the default sounds. I looked it up and found a few other people having similar problems
I'm a visual artist and I use a program called ArKaos for AV installations and nightclub visuals. I'm thinking of building a HTPC to take around with me as my laptop is not quite powerful enough for the work I do. I was thinking of using the laptop as a reference monitor for the HTPC using Remote desktop over LAN but I've run into some issues trying to set it up at home on my main PC. When I run Remote desktop I loose the ability to select which display is being used for full screen in ArKaos.
- This is what the display preferences look like without Remote Desktop: - And this is what I see when I'm running Remote Desktop:
I have extremely little knowledge of Remote Desktop so I don't know how it handles display drivers but it would seem it uses it's own driver (RDPDD) when it's active. Is there anyway around this, all I want to do is have my laptop displaying ArKaos' clip view and have my second GPU output running to a projector.
Recently and all of a sudden (perhaps after using a VGS projector) when i boot my laptop i do not get any video display - not even my TOSHIBA POST or the "starting windows" screen. But when the boot gets to the login screen it dispalys on my laptop and from thereon everything is fine and normal
If i connect an external monitor or projector i can see everything right from the very beginning on the external monitor such as the TOSHIBA POST and the starting wndows etc. When the login screen appears the dispaly from the external monitor dissappears and the dispaly returns to my laptop screen after which everything is normal.
My work laptop, an HP 8560p, crashes after a period of time with an external monitor connected to it. Crashing can occur anywhere from a few minutes after rebooting to a couple hours after rebooting. There is no BSoD when the laptop crashes; the laptop just shuts off and automatically restarts. I have not been able to replicate this issue without an external monitor plugged in. The issue happens with the external monitor plugged in via direct to the laptop or through the dock; VGA or DVI.
So far I've tried:
A clean sweep of the video drivers and testing both the windows display drivers and the ATI drivers.Sending the laptop to HP, where they completely replaced the motherboard.Currently running memtest86+ (currently 2 passes through without any issues).
I have a ThinkPad T400 and I'm dual-booting Vista and 7 (but I only really use 7). In 7, when you press Windows+P, you get 4 display options: Computer Only, Duplicate, Extend, and Projector Only. Since I just have one laptop screen, I obviously want Computer Only.
But every time I close the lid (or restart), it reverts back to an Extended display, which means when I move the cursor to the right of the screen to use a scrollbar, close a maximized window, or desktop peek, I have to be precise or else the cursor will fly off the right side of the screen into my non-existent extended display.
