Windows 7: simple question

kalamazooguy · 23 Oct 2009

I'm having trouble with snaping to the right ( it puts the image beyond the screen) when I looked in the device manager it shows 2 moniters in the drop down. I only have one moniter though. could this be the issue. thanks

Welocme to Seven Forums, kalamazooguy.

Yes, the fact that the system thinks there are two monitors would cause this. The real question is WHY it thinks there are 2 monitors.

If you can fill out some more of your system specs, maybe we can help with that issue.

would it be worth a try to disable one, or will I lose my moniter completely?

Let's try to figure out why the system thinks there are two before you disable one.

it's an hp w1907 wide screen and there are 2 vga connectors going from it to the tower

I think you only need one connection !

I'll try disconnecting one. I'm no computer wiz, so when I got it a couple of years ago I just connected every thing. be right back

I disconnected the DVI and now it works, so just so I understand, why is that

DocBrown · 23 Oct 2009

The computer was confused & thought you had 2 different monitors connected, when it was only just one

FYI, for better video, disconnect the VGA and leave the DVI connected.
