Please Help! Issue with Dual Monitors connected to Laptop.
Hi there guys, my name is James. I'm new to 7 Forums so please help me out! :)
In my work office I have dual monitors connected to a single desktop computer via DVI. I usually work both at work and home so I use my laptop alot. When I'm at home I need more desktop space so I bought 2 cheap monitors that only support VGA inputs. But because I'm using a laptop I only have 1 VGA panel. I have bought a USB 3.0 to VGA adapter and I have installed all necessary drivers to run it. So here is my issue with my display.
In the Resolution Settings it shows 3 displays. 1 Saying Mobile PC Display, 2 saying HP vs17 (My Monitor) and 3 saying Generic Non-PnP Monitor. There is nothing wrong with the monitor as it worked fine on my old windows 7 laptop. There are 2 issues here:
1.) The second monitor is called Generic Non-PnP Monitor and it's default resolution is 800x600 even though it's native resolution is 1024x1024.
2.) The screen is not being displayed even though my computer thinks it is being displayed.
If anyone can help me with my issues it will be much appreciated. I will list some basic specs and If you need any more description details feel free to ask.
SPECS:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
PROCESSOR: Intel Core 2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66 GHz 1.66 GHz or Intel Centrino Duo
RAM: 3.00 GB
SYSTEM: 32 Bit Operating System
WINDOWS ACTIVATION: Windows is Activated and is Genuine.
Thanks in advance for helping!! Look forward to hearing from you guys!
