I would like to find out if there is a setting that will allow me to sleep my dekstop monitor but not my projector? I am running the projector as an extended display. I do not want to connect just to projector and have my desktop displayed via the projector.
View 0 RepliesI am about to buy a projector to use as my TV, and I would like to use the projector as a second monitor on my windows 7 PC. What I would like to be able to do is watch TV from my tunercard, or movies from DVD and Blueray drives etc, on the projector, but retain the ability to browse or whatever on the main screen.I have been told that you cannot maximize the video in the second screen(projector) and still have access to the main screen with the mouse. Is this true? If so is there a workaround?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to purchase a micro projector - the AAXA M1 micro projector to be exact. This projector uses a USB to Projector connection to allow the images to be projected through the projector. It says that it uses drivers to do this, but I called AAXA and they said that Windows 7 is currently officially supported - that it may work but they can't make any guarantees.
Has anyone ever heard of a USB to Projector type of projector before? Anyone try the AAXA M1 on Windows 7? The projector looks really cool and is cheap ($299) but I want to make sure it works first...

I am using Win 7 Ultimate 64 and have a HP ASUSTeK Tiger LNA Hybrid TV Tuner. Everything works fine until mce has been running for about 20 min and the monitor goes into standby and the computer is still on.. I can´t wake up the computer throw my remote either so i have turn it off and this happens everytime..
I don´t know if this has something do with it. The monitor is a 30 inch lcdmonitor from HP LP3065 and is connected to both of the 2 existing dvi-inputs on my nvidiacard
I am using the drives for monitor, videocard , tvcard that been installed when windows 7 Ultimate 64 was installed.
My monitor goes to sleep after about 10 minutes when I am watching a movie or something. Its really annoying because I have changed the screensaver and monitor power settings (in display settings) to never, I have changed the power settings (in Control Panel -> Power Settings -> Edit Settings -> Advanced) and put everything at never. Still the problem persists.

I know there has to be a simple fix to this but I'm banging my head against the wall right now trying to figure this out. Everytime my PC goes to sleep I'll press a button on my keyboard or move my mouse and it will wake up just fine, but the monitor won't wake up. I've also noticed that the backlight on my keyboard doesn't show up. I've tried different monitors and removed the VGA cable from the graphics card after waking up and plugged it back in and no video. I have to reboot the computer to get video again and everything works great.. until it goes into sleep mode again. I have updated my graphics card driver (Geforce GT 210) and still no fix. I haven't made any changes that would cause this. Someone has to know something about this
View 5 Replies View Related2 hour hibernation for both CPU and monitor worked perfectly for about two weeks, waking up with a touch to the spacebar. Then a few days ago the monitor would not wake up but the computer did. Now if I turn off the AC .
power to both units and then re-boot the monitor will turn on but will go back to sleep in about 15 minutes with the blue light blinking. The computer will complete a DL or backup with monitor sleeping so it appears OK.
Checks so far:
1. Updated drivers for both monitor and video card with latest available. Also updated chipset and BIOS (504).
2. Swapped monitors between computers and the problem went to the second monitor. Main monitor worked all day on second computer.
3. Spoke to ASUS tech support and was told that the monitor is controlled by the OS. Suggested I enable ACPI 2.0 support (default disabled) and disable ACPI APIC Support (default enabled) in BIOS. Won't boot to OS when ACPI APIC Support disabled.
4. Found a few similar cases on the Internet but no solutions.
5. Even tried turning off hibernation and setting monitor timeouts in the Powercfg using CMD prompt.
6. Re-installed OS, big mistake as it took several hours to get re-registered.
im having problems with my monitor, it doesnt want to get out of sleep mode. Right now I have the comp apart which is no problem for me to put it back together. Im assuming its either the battery not giving enough power or the connection where you plug the monitor into is bad.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Studio XPS435 MT running Windows 7. For the past six months I noticed that when waking the computer from sleep mode, occasionally the monitor would not wake up and I would have to reboot. It got worse and worse until now it will never wake up without rebooting. I also noticed when I reboot, if I don't wait a few seconds for the computer noises to stop and immediately press the power button; the computer starts beeping loudly and nothing works. I have to manually shut it down and wait about 30-40 seconds to reboot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently ran into this problem on my computer. My monitor will not sleep while the computer is locked. If I just let it sit, the screen saver will appear, then the monitor will sleep. However, once the computer is locked, the monitor will not sleep.The monitor auto sleeping was working perfectly fine last week.I have triple checked the Power Options, ensuring the monitor sleeps in 10 minutes (screen saver activates at 5 minutes). I've also looked at the Advanced Power Options setting, and that is set at 10 minutes as well. I have reset to defaults and the problem still persists. I have also tried to set a GPO to see if that would work, nothing either.how the monitor will sleep when the computer isn't locked.I know I could just sleep my computer (I don't want to) or turn my monitor off (this gets annoying after a while).
Edit: What I've done/tried:
Triple checked monitor settings/power options
Reset to defaults, then set the monitor to sleep at 10 minutes
Changed to a new theme
Enabled monitor sleep GPO
Restarted multiple times
Disabled screen saver
My monitor has no sleep settings (settings, not function; it has the sleep function)
sometimes not all the time after my pc has been in sleep mode, the monitors dont come back on, i can see the pc wakes up but the monitors stay black and so far the only way ive got it to work is to power off and reboot.
all my drivers are upto date what could be causing this i dont realy want to disable the sleep mode?
Downloads in Flashget stop when windows 7 puts my monitor to sleep. I can line up downloads in Flashget and they work fine while I'm using the PC. However as soon as the monitor is put to sleep by Windows, the downloads stop. Moving the mouse brings the monitor to life and the downloads resume - however, the usually speed drops considerably (from 800kps to around 100kps) and does not improve unless I restart.
Originally I thought this was related to scheduled downloads. I set up a scheduled, off-peak download overnight and when I got up I'd find that the downloads had failed. However, I noticed the issue was happening whenever I downloaded and left the computer for a period of time.
Power settings are all on high. Harddrive/computer sleep is off. Monitor sleep is the only thing on (15 minutes). Ethernet controller has been set to not allow the computer to turn off (unchecked).
I'm using KIS2010 which may be blocking network access somehow. But disabling KIS and setting Flashget as trusted has no effect.
Is it possible that the ethernet is being powered down somehow when the monitor sleeps? Any additional settings under the Ethernet controller/power settings I can try?
Ethernet is onboard Marvell Yukon. Latest driver from Marvell installed.
reset video card to factory setting, reboot if it still goes to sleep,remove added on video card hook monitore up to onboard vid card
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy computer monitor won't wake up from sleep mode. The power light flashed blue like it is asleep but when I hit the keyboard or click the mouse nothing happens. I even restarted the computer and tested to see if the wires were bed or loose and that didn't help either. I switched out the monitor and the new one works on the computer so it seems it is something with the monitor.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe thread title about sums it up! When I try to wake my computer from sleep mode, my monitor gets no signal/is black. The "rest" of the computer seems to wake up just fine.
The monitor was working fine with Windows Server 2008, after sleep mode, but I just recently upgraded to windows 7.
I have already tried: displayswitch /extend displayswitch /internal in a .bat file
using "Hibernate Trigger", "Power Triggers" and Windows task sheduler.
Doesn't work at all for me (I've got Windows 7 Proffesional 32-bit Service Pack 1)
I went to sleep last night with the computer on (Windows 7 7077) like always and this morning it's still on but none of the usb devices are working, monitor doesn't come back from sleep state but the fans on all the components are still spinning. I tried hard rebooting 3-4 times and still nothing. I let it sit and cool off for a bit and still nothing. Anyone know what the problem could be?
I was thinking it was the motherboard but then wouldn't the ethernet light be off if the board wasn't working? The only thing on the computer the has been overclocked is the CPU which I took from 3.0ghz to 3.8ghz and it's been running fine on the stock cooler for the past 6 months almost and then bam it's like this. I don't think it could of been over heating as the temps usually run 30C at idle and 50-60C at full load and the side is off of it.
so the Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit install is fresh, and all the drivers are the latest available. I have updated my mobo's bios to the latest version through Asus' "AI Suite II" which makes things very simple. I want my PC to be able to go into sleep mode but I don't want to have to force shutdown every time it goes into sleep mode after a time span. For some reason if I wake my PC after its been in sleep mode for a short period everything turns back on just fine... I know there might be a solution through the configuration panel

Annoying intemittent fault whereby the monitor is incorrectly detected as a generic model instead of an LG L192WS and the screen resolution changes to a lower setting which loses a large percentage of the desktop. I've updated to the latest AMD drivers as that seemed to work for others with a similar problem but to no avail. it takes 5 mouse clicks to open desktop and reset the display to the correct one, but after spending quite a bit to speed up my system I begrudge the time!
Over the past week, my monitor,keyboard, and mouse become unresponsive after waking from sleep. I haven't installed any new software in the past couple weeks and all my drivers are current. It doesn't happen every time, its random. About 3-4 times in the past week I come home and hit the keyboard to wake it up, the computer wakes up, but the monitor, keyboard, and mouse never come on. I've tried unplugging both the keyboard and mouse and it still won't work. I have to hard reset the comp for them to come back on. Unfortunately, since its random, I can't duplicate it, I just have to try some things out and wait to see if it happens anymore.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just built my first computer build today, & I must say that everything has seemed to go quite smooth. The problem that came up though, is after installing Windows 7 home premium 64bit OEM to my HDD (it went through the whole copying files,expanding files, ect.). Upon restarting itself, it goes to the Windows startup screen & the logo appears normally for a few seconds & then the monitor goes black/goes to sleepEverything inside the computer is still running at this point I should addThere's no debug code on my motherboard so I'm assuming everything is fine inside.I'm using a HP w2207 monitor with a DVI connection to a ASUS HD4870 GPU.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I choose "SLEEP" it only turns off the monitor , normally when the PC sleeps you can hear everything turn off and the power button glows... it does this if i leave it for 25 minutes (as thats how long its set too wait before sleeping) - but when I manually force sleep it seems to simply turn off the monitor? you can hear alll fans and hard-drive still going, when i wake it its at the login screen

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using RC1 on an HP Mini 2140 PC with 1024x576 resolution. I just can't work out how to set the projector and screen resolutions to different values. Projector resolution is 1024x768. If I use the "duplicate screen" setting, it insists on using the 1024x576 for the projector as well. The only thing I have been able to do is to have only monitor 2 turned on, and have the correct projector resolution but nothing on the PC screen.
That defeats the effort. I want to use the PowerPoint feature that allows presenters to see speakers notes on the PC, but they are not on the projector. Second best would be to have 1024x768 on the PC screen as well, even though I would have to scroll down to see it.
Ideas?
Running Windows 7 Ultimate. I wanted to connect my laptop to an external monitor so I pressed "Windows key + X", then clicked "connect display", then "extend."
On most computers, doing this will allow you to output the display to another monitor.
When I did it on my laptop, the screen started flickering and became garbled. It's too garbled to see, and I can't find the mouse and undo what I've done. I tried restarting but it's still like this.
I've came across a problem where one of our clients chooses projector only so he can have his desktop on a monitor rather than his laptop, when he does this the laptop restarts then asks for admin creds... it's a sony vio laptop, i can't see anything online about this, and his is the only mechine that does this.
