location: 7forums.com - date: January 20, 2012
I am about to bang my head.... I can not for the life of me, figure out why I cannot get my displays to work properly. My onboard GPU (which I'm using) supports my config., which is viewsonic led monitor hooked up with vga, and my samsung tv hdmi out of pc to tv. What I "want" is to have my TV playing something like a movie and my monitor to be used for homework. I can get both images to display on both tv and monitor, but cannot seperate the 2. When I go to extend mode, it all but kills my monitor and makes my TV the main display. (kills as just leaves my screen drop on monitor...but no controls) Its like the 2 are switched around and I cannot change them around. Right clicking desktop, then click screen resolution, there is my d

Radeon 5700, How to set up 3 Monitors?
location: 7forums.com - date: July 16, 2012
Hi, I have a Radeon 5700 graphics card. I currently have two screens running off DVI ports. My graphics card also has a HDMI and DisplayPort available. I know that my 3rd screen needs to be running from the DP connection to facilitate 3 screens. However, my screen only has HDMI and VGA inputs. So I bought a cord that went from DP to HDMI so that it could go directly from my tower to my screen without any adaptors. However, It still wont work! Apparently, I need some sort of 'active DisplayPort adaptor'. But my cable output to screen is HDMI. Is there an 'active adaptor' that is DP but goes from HDMI to HDMI? That seems like a very obsure thing to exist... How else can I fix this?

Windows 7 How do I cleanup winsxs folder to free up space on SSD drives?
location: microsoft.com - date: May 30, 2009
Hello. I am currently using windows 7 RC Build 7100, installed on a expensive Solid State Drive (SSD). One of the things that sounds promissing about windows 7 is the future SSD support it will have As mentioned on this site: http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/05/05/support-and-q-a-for-solid-state-drives-and.aspx Unfortunately Window 7's overall footprint is quite large (in comparison to xp or linux) and thus eats up a lot of expensive space on SSD drives. One problem i am currently facing is that over time the winsx folder "C:\Windows\winsxs" has increased in size and has become very large thus eating up even more of my total available SSD space. Currently this folder alone is now occu

Windows 7 - How to perform an incremental back-up
location: microsoft.com - date: June 22, 2010
I posed a question yesterday wanting to know about performing an incremental back-up with Windows 7 and received the reply “Try scheduled tasks and write a copying script” which seemed helpful at the time but I am a novice and was unsuccessful.  If someone could please provide me with a Step-by-Step on how to perform an incremental back-up with Windows 7 it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you! This is what I wrote yesterday:  As a photographer I need to constantly back up my photo files.  With Windows7, when I perform an incremental back-up from the source drive to the back-up drive an error message pops up stating “there is not enough disk space” to perform the action.  Previously, I had WindowsXP

I have 2 failed windows 7 intalls taking up 35 gig of hard drive space but I cannot find any windows.old files?
location: microsoft.com - date: November 21, 2012
I have 2 failed windows 7 intalls taking up 35 gig of hard drive space. but I cannot find any windows.old files? The first instal failed as I had a counterfeit copy of windows 7. I bought another copy and installed. I then got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me! I installed again but did not realise that the previous installations where still there. I have tried the disk clean up but i never get 'previous versions of windows' to clean up. I cannot find any windows.old files. (Enabled the hidden files) I only have a 60gig ssd hard drive and would like the missing 35gig kindly returned for use. Can any one help?
