Does anyone know of reasonably priced 20 inch monitor that allows one to split screens in half or quaters or view multiple applications in an elegant fashion? I am a web developer working off either an IBM thinkpad or Sony laptop Windows Xp who also uses sql server, dreamweaver and photoshop for webdevelopment purposes.
View 2 RepliesI was looking at a Lenovo desktop that comes with a 19' LCD, and noted that the full screen was not being used by XP. Are there settings in XP that would use the full screen capacity of the 19' LCD, or does XP only use a portion of the total screen area no matter what parameters are changed?

View 11 Replies View RelatedProblem: Now with the PC running and precious data growing ever larger my raid0 is vunerable to failure. Therefore I wanted to remove the old drive and insert a new drive to back up the raid0. When I removed the old drive windows wouldn't boot. After reinserting the old drive I have discovered the boot.ini file is on this other drive along with a few windows hidden files. I didn't realise this would happen -noob- and therefore I'm not sure if I can just repartition the small number of files and move them onto the main Raid0 drives. Would this mess up windows booting? The reason I want to move these files is it's an old drive and if it dies windows won't boot.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have thought that my Internet explorer was messed up.So I downloaded Mozilla, I still think that it is messed up but I have another problem now, The thing that is messed up with internet explorer is when you go to a website like utube.com or street fire.net to watch a video on internet explorer it would show the video for a split second and then it would disappear, but when you went on to mozilla and went to any website with any video it was fine. so i thought it was a problem with internet explorer, then the problem proceeded to windows media player, the computer would rather free or restart itself with any program that played videos, so you would think the problem is with the video card, well that what i was thinking because i have been having this problem all night with windows movie maker trying to make a video it would restart itself, well i finally got so fedup that i sent the error report after it recovered from a serious error and it popped up a microsoft help page saying it was a video driver error, so i updated it restarted same problem so i went to display advanced did what it said same problem but the send error report popped up a different error this time said it was from a device driver but it didnt know which one and it wanted me to test direct draw, where it shows u black and white triangles and such and asks you if you saw them, well on the third part of the test where it shows a white ball bouncing full screen it showed that then flashed the blue screen with tons of words and restarted and same thing when you try it again, so my question is, what could this be? I just want to fix all of my video problems. I went into my device manager and it says that the device is currently functioning properly. And if you are going to respond please explain well because I am not very computer savvy I just know a little.

View 18 Replies View RelatedI got a problem
I use a developer program to make executables (hobby of mine saves me going troppo) called Clarion, it works OK, I made a DOSable program with it, it works OK.
Once I could open to full size DOS screen by pressing the Alt+Enter keys and it would stay open until I was finished with it, then I could revert back to a small screen by pressing Alt+Enter keys again.
Now if I press Alt+Enter keys the DOS screen appears, but it stays open in full screen for a couple of seconds then automatically closes back to the usual small screen.
I have tried right clicking on the icon, properties, screen and putting a dot in the full size option, but this does not work.
I have scanned my PC for viruses etc but no joy there.
I have Dialup only, so don't ask me to do a Panda or Trend scan as they drop you if you no got broadband.
I'm using XP pro, 512meg ram, using a Gigabyte MB, and Nivida video card.
XP working OK-dokie, sound ok-dokie, video ok-dokie, screen to DOS wonkie.

You can attempt to repair this file by putting the winxp cd in etc...

The basics: XP Professional Boot up screen, right before the windows loading screen, or direct after the F8 Menu if you hit "Start Windows Normally..." it will just lock up, no HDD activity, blank screen. now BSOD, nothing.
All 3 safe mods work fine.
Ran chkdsk /r in recovery.
Ran proper fixboot procedure.
Went into safe mode and checked the event viewer.
The only concerning message i got was: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AmdK8
Fips

Formatting really isnt an issue since i can back up anything i need through safe mode. However its just the fact that the Windows gremlin has struck me again and i must defeat it once more.

View 4 Replies View Relatedfriend whose computer has crashed the screen had frozen. He could do nothing except reboot it using the power button but on rebooting, there was a 'no signal' message on a black screen. We have checked the monitor connections (the monitor works when connected to his second computer) and even replaced the video card but of course this made no difference (no signal) We've taken out the HD and installed it on his second system. Does this mean that the most likely cause now is the motherboard/bios or is there something wrong in our approach/deductions

View 2 Replies View RelatedEncountered a Blue Screen of Death error. The error stated that I should run Chkdsk and then proceeds to restart and bring me to the Windows boot selection screen (safe mode, last known good configuration, normally). No matter which choice I pick, it always leads to the BSOD then restarts. Since this is getting me nowhere fast, I want to just format and reinstall windows. I do not have my recovery CDs, and when I enter the BIOS to change the boot sequence I cannot change it so the CD drive is above the hard drive in priority. The reason it gives me in the bios is that "All items on this menu cannot be modified in user mode. If any items require changes, please consult your system supervisor. Any ideas on how I can boot off the cd and reinstall windows from scratch?
