Until January 2012, we had Windows Vista but unfortunately our computer died so we got an a new computer with Windows 7. On Vista I used a HDMI cable 10m/30feet long to connect the monitor to the digital TV (its not a smart TV). The computer was the main monitor and the TV was secondary. I want to watch streamings from the computer on the TV so I can sit on the couch, as sitting at a computer chair isn't very comfy for long periods of time.
View 4 RepliesI use nvidia 8800gt card and Dualview to connect to my tv.

dual booting windows 7 home premium x64 with linux fedora 14 on dual independantly dedicated drives. i am a college student with moderate computer (windows) knowledge but am doing software development and would like to play around with some linux for a class. i have no prior experience with linux and have minimal knowledge of operation. i am currently running windows 7 and would like to keep it as my primary os. i do not wish to share media files across drives or os's, windows does that just fine as is and i dont want to get into a third drive. my current drive is a 1tb wd black caviar hdd. it is also currently 2/3rds full and the desktop is about 6 months old so i would rather not partition the drive for a dual boot. i would think that there are some other advantages for the os's operating independantly off their own drives other than if one hdd dies i should still have the other with its os still ok. i have read some topics about RAID configs with dual boot setups with dual drives like this but am not very familiar with RAID. is there a RAID config that would be beneficial in this situation? i currently do not have a RAID card. my tower internals are not very accessible and i dont like the idea of disconnecting drives depending on which os i want to operate.
View 5 Replies View Relateddiscovered a way to change the Windows 7 file and folder view to "List" view instead of the default Win 7 "Details" view?In WinXP, you simply went to Folder Options dialog box >> "View" tab and it allowed you to change the view for an entire drive with one click. Win 7 does not do this.much prefer "List" view, but the only way to change it is folder-by-folder which becomes aggravating after several dozen folder changes.Plus, once you have changed the file view inside of a folder to "List" view... if you change the folder name, every file and folder, no matter how deep, inside that re-named folder will return to "Details" view.hat a PITA...I have Googled this and searched for some time, but have come up with no answer, I thought I might ask the folks at Tom's and see what we come up with.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was having a problem with dual monitor using 7127 build. But only when I use newest NVIDIA drivers. My tv just flashes a few times, and I can see that fish a couple of times, but then it just goes to like no signal. If I use default drivers which are installed on windows install, then it works fine, but then I dont have NVIDIA control panel and some other features.
My video card is GF 8800GTS 650M 512MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCIE. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and If it has been fixed in the newest build, so I could be arsed to do a clean install.
I am building a new computer and I want to go with a dual screen setup. I was wondering if I should go with a GTX 670 2GB GPU or two Sapphire Radeon 7870s. If not specifically these cards, let me know what you think. Is it better to have a single GPU with dual DVI output or two slightly cheaper GPUs using crossfire?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs currently configured, XP is on drive C:, Win 7 was added to drive E:, and the system is currently run as a dual boot. Attempting to boot without the XP drive present will yield a "NTLDR is missing" error very early in the boot process.
I have already tried the following:
(1) I moved the hidden Windows Boot Manager files (bootmgr as well as the associated Boot folder) from the XP drive root to the Win 7 drive root.
(2) After physically removing the XP drive, I rebooted to the Win 7 installation DVD, and used the "Repair Your Computer" option to pull up the "Recovery Tools". Then, using the command prompt utility, ...
(3) I attempted to write a new boot sector to the Windows 7 disk using the command: Bootrec /fixboot, - that yields an error though. The Bootrec /fixmbr claimed success, but ultimately did not make Win 7 drive bootable.
I had to reconnect drive C: just to boot into Win 7 again to write this. I do have files backed up, but to format and reinstall files would take many hours beyond just the time to transfer 400 GB of data, since I have dozens of purchased applications that need to be freshly reinstalled and validated as well. Basically I want my E: drive now to be my boot drive while the C: drive is reformatted and used for general storage.
Any idea how to make my Win 7 drive bootable? Do I need a partition program that is more adept at creating a viable boot sector, or is that even the problem?
I use Windows 7 -64 Bit OEM (no RC) and already tried 'winguggle1.6' and 'Recover Keys' to view my own Windows 7 serial. But these two programs failed in showing me anything correct. The Website of 'Recover Keys' has changed its 'feature' Text on the Website yesterday. And 'winguggle' did not start fully. It stops while searching for anything. Error report could be sended. That is bad....
but maybe anybody knows a way or a program that will work..
I cannot preview any fonts in Windows 7 anymore. I haven't tried this for a very long time so I'm not sure what may have caused it or when. When I try to view a font in windows (double clicking on a font file) I receive an error message instead of the classic "The quick fox jumps over the..." examples of the font in action. I've already attempted to reset the font settings to their default (Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsFontsFont settings, click restore default font settings button) and I'm unsure of how to proceed.

It appears that if I open a folder in Windows 7 and change the size of the folder on he screen, all other folders in the same parent folder are now shown with that same size on the screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've spent the last couple of days trying desperately to resolve this issue. I have looked everywhere but cannot find an answer... PROBLEM: I have thousands of PDFs in hundreds of folders. When I go to a particular folder, I use the slider to change the Explorer views from "Content" to "Extra Large Icons" but cannot get a thumbnail preview of the PDFs - all I see is an Acrobat Icon preview.I know that this is an issue on the X64-bit verson of Windows 7, but I'm running 32-bit Windows 7 (Ultimate)! ATTEMPTS: I've tried several ways to resolve this but nothing worked so far. Specifically, I: 1. Made sure that the File Type Associations are correct.2.Unchecked Folder options>View>"Always show icons, never thumbnails".3. Made sure that Folder options>View> "Display file icon on thumbnails" is checked.4.Made sure that Performance>Settings>"Show thumbnails instead of icons" is checked.5. Tried the simple method suggessted at other forums: going into Adobe and opening the directory to preview the files as thumbnails from there and then refreshing the folder in Windows Explorer to display a thumbnail preview of the PDF file - Didn't work either!6. Ran "Repair Acrobat Installation".7. Uninstalled and Reinstalled Acrobat 9 (including associated registry files).8. Installed the latest version of Reader.9. Tried installing other software (PDF-XChange and Foxit) but these don't create PDF thumbnails in Windows Explorer either.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've running Windows 7.I want to set the Windows Explorer view to permanently display the files in the "details" view. I can't seem to be able to achieve it.In XP it was just a case of setting the view to details and then choosing folder options on the menu bar and pressing the apply to all folders button. And windows explorer wouuld display all the files and folders in the "details" view.I can't seem to do this in Windows 7.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem where if I ever change my view in an explorer window it will never stay to what I set it to. It doesn't matter which folder I change, the folder will always reset back to the "Details" view as soon as I leave that directory. I've tried rebuilding my icon cache using this guide, Icon Cache - Rebuild, but it didn't fix the problem. I even did a windows upgrade so all system files would reinstall, but again, that didn't fix the problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI set the columns and their widths in "details" view for almost all folders in a certain way in WinExplorer.
Sometimes (I guess when the dir contains e.g. videos *.avi) additional columns where automatically shown, the column order and width differs.
I don't want in any case to see a "type" and "length" columns.How can I set a details view really for all folders on my hard disc even when it contains *.avi videos or other multimedia stuff?
I have the taskbar on auto hide.
Also, if I have the window near the bottom of the screen and I activate the taskbar it goes partially behind the window! #firstworldpains
