Comment on How do I setup dual monitors in Windows Vista? by Kim

Kim — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:57:32 +0000

I have a dell inspirion 530S and I am trying to set it up with a dual monitor. I went to display settings and it show Monitor 1 and Monitor 2. I set Monitor 1 just like you said. When I click on Monitor 2 and click the extended to desk and then I try to change the resolution, it will not allow me to change the resolution. I click apply and it asks me “Do I want to keep these changes” and I clicked yes. But when you move Monitor #2 to the left of Monitor #1 it asks me do I want to enable it; I clicked yes and then apply. But for some reason, after you click apply; it show Monitor #2 as disabled? Help, Please.

I have downloaded windows password key 8.0. It is a very quick and useful utility for resetting passwords. It not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password.
Just an easy to use bootable CD/DVD . It can also be used on a USB Flash Drive. http://www.lostwindowspassword.com/

Integration has always been the end game for every other component and, even though I had never thought about it before, I think you are right on with your thinking. I read another article a few months ago talking in the same vein about the operating system eventually being a part of the BIOS chip (reminds me of my old Commodore 64, RIP). I will tell you what I would like to see: A BIOS that you can flash with the static system files (of your OS of choice) and then an integrated SSD that could “wrap around” those files to make one visible drive. It would be much more secure and blazing fast. I’m sure it would be more complex than I am imagining it but it would be a beautiful thing indeed.

I totally agree with what Fort Collins Computer Repair posted… The only downside to doing a clean install vs a repair is the fact that you will loose all the installed programs you have added from the previous install… I have found that if you use Malwarebytes with other tools like SuperAntiSpyware and Trojan Remover you can usually get rid of most viruses… This is of course only if you can download and or access them…

i’ve had the genuine version of windows, but my computer got a million viruses so i had to get it fixed, and when i got it back, everything had been taken off of it so i had to re-install windows (the same key as before). it worked, but after about a month, maybe two, it gave me this message saying my version of windows isnt genuine, well it is, cos i have the disc right here. but no. it keeps nagging me. and now it wont let me have any backgrounds, but instead replaces anything with a little message at the bottom of the screen saying this copy of windows isnt genuine.

any help? please???

Hey everyone…what you all are describing sounds like what happened to me.
I logged on to a wireless network that wasn’t legit I think and the next time I turned on my comp I got the windows is not genuine message. I think that someone got to my computer through the faulty wireless network.
The only thing I’m wondering now is what to do about it…
If anyone knows could you email me? vfa1986@gmail.com

Thanks!

This is a problem that is wide spread. Like a virus. I was reading where all browsers were at rish from an attack that there is not fix for at the moment.
The mulware caputures your browser and make you click links that you not actually clicking and/or clicks links for you. This thing will even charge your credit card if the info is in your computer.
Maybe this is an add on the that problem.
I have done every thing everyone here has done and I am still having the same problem for over two weeks now.
It has gotten so bad that even my security updates can not update.
I think someone has figured out how to destroy a lot of computers all at once.

I like the idea of the integrated hard drive and Bradley is right on with putting the OS on the drive. Sounds great to me.

In the past, I was in favor of separate components so I would have control of what’s in my pc but today and in the future, I see most computer manufacturers bundling systems and components together. They pretty much do this now, but we are starting to see new systems like the old imac in a flat screen touch model. This may be our future. Basically a 52″ iphone.

The industry changes everyday..its exciting.
