I have an older IBM 10in screen thinkpad running Win2000. Turned it on for the first time in a while the other day and the windows sign on screen is off the right and it is like I am on dual monitor. Can slide pointer to right and get to one side with startup menu then slide pointer back to left for icons. When put a screen saver on in tile mode, it duplicates it side by side but you have to scroll left to see both. Have gone into display and tried to change things but nothing works. When I go to settings, it shows only one monitor but says display [Multiple monitors} on silicon Motion LynxEM+.
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhen I turn on my pc, the monitor doesn't show anything at all. I have no idea what casue the problem. Even I have the video card replaced, it doesn't solve the problem.
I don't think is the monitor problem as I tested the monitor from other pc and it works perfectly.
I'm running windows Xp and i shut down my computer and restart it like your supposed to and then when i restart my monitor is blank yet i can hear all of the sounds of start up. So i shut it down again and i still come up with a blank screen and now i'm using a external monitor to view my desktop. Now when i look at my laptops monitor i can vaguely see what i'm doing at all and the external monitor is fine. Also my laptop is creating alot of heat.

Is there a feature in the display properties that allows you to zoom in and out? There is a missing width about as wide as two taskbars around the whole screen.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to adjust the brightness of my monitor other than using the Menu/Controls that are on the monitor (using a SyncMaster 172n). I calibrate my monitor using Pantone Huey, having set the brightness / contrast both to zero, but it is still too bright.
I went through the Control Panel > Display settings but didn't see anything. Maybe it's hidden somewhere?
When i extend desktop to 2nd monitor it works very well, however i don't see my taskbar and stsrt button. I look back on main monitor and the taskbar is there but no desktop icons. How do i get both on monitor #2. Also can i use my TV via the S-video connection as a monitor without having the 1st monitor attached? My tv is 5yr old Mitsubishi that does not have DVI or VGA inputs. The PC is new Media Center HP with Nvidia vid card to allow TV out. It has only S-video and DVI and 1 VGA outlet, no composite out. I tried S-video out via red blue and green adaptor but could not get signal with RCA connection.
View 4 Replies View Relatedmy monitors display went haywire, screen resolution is 800x600 ,dpi is 96
when i adjust my monitor settings for verticle alignment to 100%, and the horizontal alignment to 100%, then the display is way over the monitors borders,
so then i adjust the display to about 50% for horizontal and verticle alignment, now the display is just to the edge of the monitor but the text in the middle of the screen is fine, the text to the left and right edges are very condensed, squeezed, because i squeezed down the verticle and horizontal alignment to 50%,
Display is mirror image and reversed, top to bottom and left to right. I imagine he keyed a function key command to do this, but I don't know how to get it back to normal. Just restarting isn't doing it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDisplay screen is is tilted 90 degrees to the right, so instead of my screen showing horizontally it is displayed vertically. In other words, you have to set the flat monitor screen on its side to view your display. I ran Norton Antivirus and there were 5 items that I couldn't delete including TBPS.exe.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy screen has been "morphing" its size. It get's so bad that I can't even see the bar on the bottom of the desktop (with the "start" button) as well as the title bar on full screen windows. It's odd though, because last night I tried changing my theme from Classic to Windows XP hoping to fix this, but it didn't. So I kept it at Windows XP though, and I changed the Screen Refresh Rate to 70 Hertz. That fixed it temporarily, then this morning, I turn on my monitor and the screen is morphing again, and it gets me dizzy sometimes Then, I turned the monitor off, and on, and now its fine.

Background being dark, therefore, we are not able to view the game / images in the game.... this happened after my son did a (alt-tab) between WOW and a background program - when WOW was brought back up the screen darkened..... we have not been able to brighten the monitor screen since that incident and it is becoming a pain since we can no longer view online or computer images probably due to a darkness that over shadows everything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell E207WFP Flat Panel monitor on a Dell Dimension E520 computer with TONS of memory and which is about a year and a half old. It has been working absolutely fine until Sunday - my son left the computer on overnight, and when he went to turn it off the next morning there was a blue screen error but I couldn't read it because the letters were all jumbled.It's just a blank screen, and then the Auto-Detect comes on and puts it in power save.
I've been trying to troubleshoot from another computer, Dell's tech sites told me to check this and check that, but since I can't even get Windows to start up.
I'm wondering if as a starting point I should try to reinstall Windows? Or try to boot up from the disk?

I have a freind witH MS (multiple sclerosis) and I told her I would help her find out how to print a document with black ink when herdisplay is set up to show a white font on a black back ground (to

I'm running Windows XP on a Compaq Presario 5012US with a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 video card. The screen resolution I'm currently using is 800x600, and adjusting this setting up or down does nothing to fix the problem. I just updated the drivers for my video card, and windows is up to date as well. I'm totally stumped on this. Awhile back I was having bigger problems with my display when I was also running my TV as a second monitor,
I'm running a NEC MultiSync XV17 monitor also.
I touched/did something to computer/monitor , monitor stoped showing correct colors.what disappeared is the red color.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen Windows adds a new monitor using the standard driver, can it detect the aspect ratio? When I hooked up mine, all the resolution choice were for 4:3 monitors.

Now we have a new tower to go with exisiting 24" monitor. My problem is I can not get a old standard VGA monitor to work with the old system listed above. When I plug in the the VGA monitor plug in the VGA outlet in the old computer I get no signal to the monitor. What do I need to do with drivers or other wise to get the old computer back to being able to be used with the old VGA monitor?
