My desktop have a big monitor and I'm able to connect my laptop to it but the problem is I would be using a lot of energy and stuff. Is there a way I can close the laptop or what ever and just use the desktop but with laptop turned on?
need to connect my new HP laptop to my desktop to transfer things. My usb cords have a flat end and a square end but the laptop has no square end to hook into only flat slots. It may be usb 3. Needs a different type of cable? what ype?
I recently purchased an HP Omni 120; it doesn't have a VGA port but plenty of USB ports, and I found a TRENDnet USB/VGA KVM cable and I attempted to attach it to my computer an external monitor, but an error message popped up saying that it doesn't recognize the driver.
I learned that KVM is hooking up multiple computers with the same keyboard and mouse, but I wanted to know if I could use this cable for simply extending my display onto a second monitor without purchasing a KVM switch -- is there a driver or alternate method that would work? Or is there recommendations for a good, cheap USB/VGA cord?
I have just bought a new computer with windows 7 but when I switch it on it does not connect to my orange livebox. If I switch off the livebox at the mains leaving it for 30seconds before switching back on it connects with the computer after booting up. I leave the computer switched on during this manouvre. If I do a restart then it will connect up ok. If I switch off and turn on again it does not connect.
I'm a 3g dongle to connect to the net, I previously set up the ps3 to connect through same via the wired connection. That work fine for a bit, until I updated the firmware, Since then the PS can't seem to obtain an IP address and after setting a static IP it gives me a DNS error. On the flip side, my LAN is giving me a no internet access problem(ipv4) and also an unidentified network
I've changed the cable, released and renewed and reset the ipconfig and also flush DNS. I'm having the same problem with my laptop. Both were able to share the connection with the PS3 before.
I have the Acer Aspire 5741Z and it has HDMI connection on the side. I plugged in the cord to the laptop and then to the TV. Sometimes (depending on the model of the TV) when I set the menu to HDMI the TV will search for the connection and signal and connnect automatically. Then with other TV's is doesn't.What am I doing wrong or does to laptop has to be configured someway?

My sound card Xonar D1 doesn't work properly and i wrote to ASUS and they told me to connect the "HD audio" or "speaker" cables from the front panel of motherboard to the sound card's front panel. Is that safe to do? weather it will work or not, is it safe to try?
I'd like to hook-up my computer to TV. I used an HDMI 30 foot cable from my computer to the TV and it didn't work. Cable is fine. How far can usually go? A$U$ CM#68-70-CA-3AA Desktop PC Intel Core i7 3770(3.40GHz) 16GB DDR3 2TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce, GT630 2GB, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.I can only assume that there is not enough power in my GeForce630 to send data through to the TV at 30 feet.
I have a laptop and desktop both running win7, both connected via wifi to the same router which is two floors down. I would like to access the laptop from desktop via remote desktop. It works fine but is a bit slow. My question is: Can I connect the laptop and desktop via a crossover cable to speed up the remote desktop connection between the two computers?I suspect plugging one or both computers directly into the router may help but I would really like to keep the two computers in the same room.The purpose of connecting remote desktop between the two computers is NOT for sharing the internet connection or even for file sharing; it is simply because the laptop computer has some applications on it that the desktop computer does not.
I have win 7 64 bit desktop with only serial port, com1 i guess. I have an old HP 5P laserjet that has an lpt1 parallel printer cable securely attached to it. i tried to connect a couple of adapters to the cable and plug it into the com port. I don't get any errors and it doesn't print. I took the driver from the hp site. do i need to change the com port settings (baud rate, etc...? What am I missing?
I am using a Dell Studio 1557 model. I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials update yesterday and it prompted me to restart my laptop. I meant to click "Postpone" but I clicked "Restart" accidentally. This was in the middle of while I was running Firefox and running Winamp (as far as I can remember).So when the computer was back on I noticed I totally lost the internet connection. Even though the CAT5 cable is connected, the laptop does not recognize it at all. It simply says "Not Connected". And just today I realized that whenever the Ethernet cable is connected to the computer the computer periodically(every other second or so)makes a faint buzzing noise. This is something I had not noticed before. I replaced the cable with a new one and the same thing still happens.I think the modem is working fine since my roommate can access the internet. On the modem where the lights should be on for my connection, it is periodically blinking.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that I purchased in the USA, brought to the UK - had hard drive failure; which was replaced and then had Windows 7 OS installed (and now the laptop thinks it's a UK laptop too - ie: the @ symbol has moved - etc)... None of this has been a problem until recently when I moved back to the USA. I have a TV that I want to hook this laptop up to, so that we can view my video files on a bigger screen - but I've found that my laptop is displaying in PAL format - while the TV must have it in NTSC. I've been searching around and I cannot seem to find out where to change that over.... Should I put in an American DVD into the dvd player and switch regions?
I have no internet connection on my HP Mini but I want to be able to transfer files to my HP Compaq PC via a USB connector is thus possible / practical?
Recently, I upgraded the houses' internet to fiber (or so its called in Chinese, living abroad in Shanghai BTW)and the within the first day of upgrading, I've seen a tremendous increase in internet speeds. However, within a day, a new problem also came up.Whenever I plug the ethernet cable into its port at the back of my PC, all the open programs suddenly stop responding, and then my PC freezes. I've tried booting up without the ethernet cable plugged in, and everything works perfectly. Yet the second I plug in the ethernet, everything stops working. The conditions are as follows: -I am unable to CTRL - ALT - DELETE to bring up task manager.- The mouse cursor is still moveable, but nothing can be clicked or selected-The cursor turns into the spinning loading circle, but never finishes whatever it's trying to do.I am forced to manually power down (hold the power button or unplug) the PC.However, rebooting in Safe Mode with Networking yields no problems. The internet connects just fine, and there is no freezing/lagging going on at all. I'm currently posting this from Safe mode w/ Networking. The conditions are pretty much the same when I plug in the ethernet cable to my Macbook. Chrome, or whatever I'm using simply stops responding, and I get the spinning rainbow pinwheel of doom. Forced to manually power off. This has also occurred to a friends' Macbook when he plugged in the Ethernet in an adjacent room.
What's been going on with my HDMI port. 2 nights ago I was watching a movie through my Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop through my Panasonic HDTV. Yesterday, I tried to connect my HDMI cable to my laptop and computer, but nothing happened...So frantically I've been searching everywhere and trying what I have so far with no progress...
1.System Restore to earlier date when my HDMI port was working. 2.Toggle Computer/Duplicate/Extended/Projector Only and nothing worked(Also made sure tv was on the right HDMI input) 3.Tried 3 different HDMI cables and HDMI inputs 4.Uninstalled all sound drivers and Display Adapter(Intel(R) HD Graphics Family 5.Contacted Dell and had them try to reinstall drivers 6. Checked BIOS but I couldn't find any enable/disable feature for video. 7. Took battery out of laptop waited for 30 seconds pressed power button to reset.
My Panasonic TV doesn't even show up under my playback devices and when I try and do a dual screen through screen resolution it says another display not connected. I've tried going Intel HD Graphics Control Panel as well...no such Luck! Beginning to think that my HDMI port on my laptop is broken.
My laptop won't work with the Ethernet cable and say it has an IP conflict. All my computers have an IP address starting with 192 and the laptop has an IP address starting with 169. I did an ipconfig and on ipv4 is where I got the IP addresses. I tried to do an ipconfig / release but it won't release the IP address because of the wireless media.
i have windows 7 ultimate 32-bit in my hp pavilion laptop. Almost 1 years ago i used the frontech tv tuner card through hp media to see worldcup 11. Afterthat whenever i gonna connect it with my lapi and open hp media, it shows no tv tuner card detected. I also downloaded all supporting software from hp official website and installed it. but the result is same.
I tried to get onto the internet this morning on the computer and it would'nt let me, so I restarted it, twice and still it was the same? It has the bars in the bottom right corner but there is a red cross going through, when I click this, to connect to my internet, there are no connections available to choose from, yet I still have internet on my blackberry, wifi on the iphone, and on the ipad?
I would very much like to connect a Laptop to a 19inch Monitor using a 10 metre VGA and 10 metre USB cables. Is this possible, without being detrimental??
I've been trying to connect my laptop to a HDTV. I have the required (I think) cable, it connects well to both laptop and TV, I can see the image on the TV screen, but the image on the TV is small and centered. It's probably twice as small as the screen itself. I want to stretch it, but I don't know how. I'm really not sure that the problem is the laptop and not the TV itself, though.I don't know what specifics to include. I can add anything that might be required The TV is 1080p, maximum resolution on the laptop is 720p. I tried connecting the cable to all 4 HD slots in the TV and some give different results. Some are more stretched than others, but not full screen. I tried changing the TV option
A)Would the following scenario affect my windows installation ?1. Taking out my hard drive and enclosing in USB HD enclosure.2. Connecting via USB to identical laptop.3. I assume HD will be assigned a drive letter.4. Making an emergency backup of my hard drive by just pasting and copying from the nowexternal USB HD to a folder in the other identical system.5. Putting hard drive back in my laptop.B) Would the drive take on the C: drive letter again when I put it back?
i have 3 laptops running and today 1 would not connect to the internet unless through a cable , the laptop does not pick up any wireless networks at all were usually it picked up 5 or 6?
