Get A Print Screen Of Primary Monitor?
Mar 8, 2012Of course, it is easy to get a print screen of my primary monitor, but how do I get one on my secondary? Simply clicking on it's background doesn't work.

Windows 7 Cannot Detect Primary Monitor Trying Both Screen Resolution Detection / Missing From Devices Menu
Jun 20, 2012I recently updated my nVidia drivers to the latest and also my SiSandra Lite software (for quick access to accurate specs of my PC). After updating SiSandra Lite, I looked at the GPU section. As usual it loaded the primary monitor first where everything was fine. I then changed to look at my secondary and my primary monitor turned off and my desktop was shifted to my second.Now when I boot my computer, my primary comes on, but after the pre and post bios. Only when Grub comes on does something appear on my primary monitor, but it's very low resolution (compared to what it used to be). The windows 7 loading bar appears on my primary but before the logo can appear and glow, it swaps to my secondary monitor where it stays.
Windows 7 cannot detect my primary monitor trying both screen resolution detection and it's missing from the devices menu. Really confused about this whole business.I realise this may have been posted as a problem before. I did find little snippets of information about it but nothing sufficient.
Primary Monitor Switches To Secondary Monitor?
Oct 21, 2010I recently had an older HP Pavilion Media Center m7760n Desktop PC rebuilt. The old power supply fried the motherboard so I need to get a new power supply and motherboard. Here are my current specs.
Mainboard : Asus P5QPL-VM EPU
Chipset : Intel G41
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2133 MHz
Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
Hard Disk : WDC (1000 GB)
[code]....
As you can see from above, the "video card" is actually integrated into the motherboard.The computer works perfectly except for one major problem. I have 2 monitors, one is 22" with 1680 x 1050 resolution and the other is a 15" monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution. At the back of my computer I have a VGA port and a DVI port. The 15" is connected to the VGA port and the 22" is connected to the DVI port.When first starting the computer, the 15" monitor was recognized as the primary monitor while the 22" was recognized as the secondary monitor. No problem. I simply went to the display settings and set the 22" to be the primary monitor and the 15" to be the secondary monitor. Unfortunately, this setting seems to reset as soon as I reboot the computer. The 15" is always set as the primary monitor on start up, forcing me to set the proper settings all over again. What's worse is that even after I have set the proper settings, they sometimes revert back when using Media Center or other programs. Worse yet, sometimes the monitors both go completely black ... as if the monitor settings were about to switch but got locked up some how.I'm assuming that perhaps the on board video has a primary port (VGA) and a secondary port (DVI) but even still, shouldn't Windows 7 be able to over-ride this and save these settings so that the monitor settings remain the same during startup and regular usage?
Primary Monitor Keeps Changing
Jun 15, 2011I start Windows after the machine being off for a while, maybe a day or two, the primary monitor setting changes to my secondary display. As I do actually have two monitors on the video desk, it is fairly easy (for me) to change the setting to what it needs to be. But I am not the only operator that uses this computer, and most of the volunteers know little when it comes to computers of any kind.
Now you would think that someone with my technical background would have been able to fix this issue, and I can...using a 3rd party solution that costs money.
edit: to clarify, I have been having this issue for few years, but I have been the only person using the system. And this was happening on previous systems as well
Specs of the system in question:
Custom Built Desktop;
Windows 7 Professional x64;

Rage Won't Play On Primary Monitor
Nov 2, 2011I just finished upgrading my CPU, ram, and mobo, and everything went off without a hitch. Except that now rage won't play on my default monitor. Other than the hardware, nothing has changed with the setup. All my other steam games play on the default monitor but Rage. I'm at a loss here. As windows sees them, monitor #1 is my secondary monitor and #2 is my primary. For a video card I have an XFX 6870 Black edition. I updated my drivers and Catalyst Control center to the latest versions, after experiencing crash issues with rage, so my drivers are all current.

Mar 6, 2009I'm using a Sager 3790 notebook with 2 GB of memory, a Centrino 1.7 Ghz and a Mobility Radeon 9700.Installation went perfectly. The card was detected by Windows Update and drivers were isntalled for it. They're from December 2008. Okay, that's fine and dandy.As soon as the drivers install the highest resolution available on the primary display is 640x480. Why? Because Windows won't/can't detect my primary monitor. It shows up as an "Unknown display device."I can attach an external monitor and adjust its resolution all day. I can also remote into the laptop and that works fine.I am nearly 100% confident that I cannot change the display resolution because the monitor won't detect correctly. I can't manually force an install of a monitor or change the "Unknown display device" driver because that section is grayed out in the "Advanced Settings" under the Display Resolution tab.
View 9 Replies View RelatedBackground Picture Position Respected Only On Primary Monitor?
Dec 13, 2012Some background first. I have three 1920x1080 monitors. The central monitor is Landscape. The two side monitors are portrait, used for working with web browsers, code, communication.I find it easer to deal with large amounts of text in portrait, where I can continuously track a lot of text without tracking back and forth across the entire width of a widescreen monitor.So, I'm trying to set a background. It works fine.It's abstract-ish, so I set the 'stretch' option.That works fine on the central monitor.On the two side monitors, the image is compressed between the left and right sides of the screen, but does not stretch to reach the top or bottom of the screen. The extent that they seem to extend up and down seem to exactly match the dimensions and alignment of the central screen. If this is so, then it would mean that on the portrait monitors, the background is filling a 1080x1080 block in the center of a 1080x1920 display.The only thing that functions properly is 'Tile'. None of the other options seem to produce any change in the image displayed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows Shifting Back To Primary Monitor When Switching Users
Oct 17, 2011I run a dual monitor setup, and I use two user profiles and switch between them throughout the day. I set up both user profiles identically, which is as: In each profile, I run multiple instances of Internet Explorer 9, so I have four or five Internet Explorer windows open with multiple tabs open within each window. I keep two IE9 windows open on my left monitor, and three open on my right monitor. I also have MS Word and MS Excel open on my left monitor, and two notepads open on my right.
When I click on Start and switch user accounts, if I go back into my first user account, my windows will have either moved off screen somewhere, or they will have moved to the first monitor. The behavior is inconsistent in which windows are shifted around, but the windows end up moving none the less, and it ruins my work flow. I spend all my time setting up the windows back to their 'correct' positions.
Switching users to the 2nd user account will cause the same consequences with the windows set up on the 2nd account, thus defeating the purpose of utilizing multiple profiles to make work more efficient. I recently switched to Windows 7 on a new computer. My "old faithful" has Vista 64 does not exhibit the window shifting issue.
I am running a new 2nd gen sandybridge system, with an asus h67 motherboard and an i7-2600. I have 16 gigs of ddr3, and Win 7 64 Home Premium. I have an ATI Radeon HD 6570 running both monitors, with the latest video drivers installed. I've encountered this issue with and without ATI Catalyst suite installed and with/without Ultramon installed.
I don't want to revert back to Vista 64 just because it will be a lot of downtime to install and transfer my profiles again on the new machine, and I'd like to stay on the most current OS regardless, but I may have to switch back to Vista if this is a known issue on 7. We use dual monitor Windows 7 setups at the company I work for (my day job), and Ive verified 3 of my coworkers also have this issue. I also replicated this issue myself on one of the work Win 7 comps.

Secondary: LG E2541 25 Inch Widescreen 1980 * 1080
OS: Windows 7 64bit

I use my primary mostly for browsing, msn, music players, Ventrilo etc etc,I want to use my secondary Monitor for gaming Watching Videos.However, when i want to use something Full screen on my secondary monitor it goes full screen on the primary monitor.
I cant also run it in windowed mode and stretch it out to full screen, it does not allow me to do that, it goes back to the size of my primary Monitor.
Ps.I want this since i play mostly with fullscreen borderless or in windowed mode so i can still browse the internet or adjust music/ventrillo settings. I dont want to have an Taskbar below the game, so thats why i need it on the Second Monitor.

Print Screen Not Working Properly?
Aug 16, 2011I have a duel boot desk top computer. Windows Xp x 32 and Windows 7 x 64. I modified my server load screen and wanted to check it so I hit the print screen key and pasted it to paint and all I get is a back screen instead of the load screen image. Then I took a image of my desk top and the image is fine. Did the same thing on windows xp and everything is fine,the load screen image and the desk are image are coming out just the way there suppose to. Is there a setting that I'm missing on windows 7 that could be causing my problem.

Jan 15, 2012So I've got this computer:
Windows 7 ultimate (legal)
version : 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 build 7601 x64
Proc : Intel core i7 CPU 970 @3.2 GHz, 3201 Mhz,
ram: 24GB
So the problems I used to have was when as soon as I logged on to skype or pressed print screen, the entire computer would freeze and there was nothing else I could do exept for a hard reset. When looking for a solution online I found a command for cmd prompt which disabled some debugging; ( even though I have absolutely no idea what this does, I always feel like shutting down parts of windows is not such a good idea)
bcdedit -debug off
I used this command rebooted and to my relief i was able to take screen shots without freezing my entire PC. Unfortunately when I run skype now and log in, my computer freezes and gets a BSOD : 0x00000101, Something about a time signal from a co-processor which wasn't received on time.
