There is a very powerful feature available which most users simply are not aware about. This feature allows you to use two different displays on your PC. What do I mean by two different displays?<br /><br />Usually the base display is the VGA monitor (for PC) or LCD Screen (for laptops). Now, what happens when you attach an external projector to the PC? Or what happens when you attach an external monitor to your laptop? You have two display devices attached.<br /><br />Usually, although these two devices are made to display the same contents. We typically press some hotkey on the laptop to make the desktop screen duplicate itself on the other device. This is called cloning. Both displays now show the same contents. This is the typical scenario used for presentations.<br /><br />Now, what I am going to show is how to have two different desktop screens in this configuration. Yes, you heard me right. The base display (say, laptop screen) shows different applications and the secondary display (say, projector) displays a separate desktop.<br /><br />Incidentally, this feature has been available for a long time now.<br /><br />Why do you need separate displays?<br /><br />Before you understand the nitty-gritty of how to configure or setup any feature, it is important to understand the usage scenarios.<br /><br />1. Presentations: The most common scenario would be presentations given out on a projector or external monitor or plasma screen. This way, only the slide show runs on the second screen. Your personal screen can be used for doing anything else (viewing slide notes, calculating pricing, communicating with the boss, referring to online help, asking someone else to help on chat, or whatever else that you find relevant).<br /><br />2. Laptop users sitting in office: Most laptop users like to use an external monitor when they are in their own cabin or office. Using this feature, they now have double the space to work. You can now choose the screen on which you want to show your mail client, word processor, browser and so on. Any application can be run on either primary or secondary display as per your convenience. For example, I keep Outlook on my secondary display and the active application where I am currently working on the primary display. This way, to check and respond to mails (which we need to do periodically), I simply turn to the other screen, work on Outlook and then come back to the base applications.<br /><br />3. Video playback Windows Media: Windows Media Player automatically detects the availability of a double display configuration. When you play the media clip (videos, DVC, VCD) Media Player automatically plays it in full screen mode on the secondary display. On the primary display, the full UI version of Windows Media plays. This way, you can adjust the video properties, audio graphic equalizer settings on the base display, while full screen video is projected on the secondary screen (typically the projector).<br /><br />Configuration<br /><br />For this to work, your display card must support the dual monitor mode and the appropriate drivers should be loaded.<br /><br />Here are the steps.<br /><br />1. Attach the external device (monitor / projector) and turn it on. Make sure the cables are correctly plugged.<br /><br />2. Right-click on the desktop and choose Properties.<br /><br />3. Choose Settings.<br /><br />4. You will see two displays, labelled as 1 and 2.<br /><br />5. The numbers 1 and 2 indicate primary and secondary display. Display 2 is initially on the right side of Display 1. (This is an important observation. We will discuss this later)<br /><br />6. Now click on the boxes 1 and 2 and observe that the resolution and colour slider below may change. This is because you can set the resolution of each display independently of each other.<br /><br />7. It is important to understand that each type of monitor / projector has a limitation about the maximum resolution it can display. Most monitors nowadays are plug-and-play. This means, once the external display is attached to the PC, the operating system can automatically understand the maximum permissible resolution limit of the external display.<br /><br />8. Now right-click on Display 2 and choose Attached.<br /><br />9. This selection enables some additional check boxes on the dialog.<br /><br />10. Now choose the “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor” option.<br /><br />11. Choose Apply.<br /><br />12. Now the second display will be enabled and will display a blank desktop. This is an additional desktop for you. It is not a copy of the base desktop. The appearance of the second desktop will depend upon the primary desktop configuration.<br /><br />13. That’s it. You just configured a dual monitor display!<br /><br />14. To prove that it works, move the mouse to the right edge of the primary desktop screen. Usually, the cursor would stop at the edge. However, now it simply spills over to the new, additional desktop. This desktop is empty by default.<br /><br />Handling applications on dual desktop configuration<br /><br />When you start a new program, it will open on your primary display. To move it to the secondary display, drag it (drag the title bar), to move it to the secondary monitor. Later you can maximise the application with respect to the secondary display.<br /><br />Although this concept may be new for you, within few minutes of practice you will be fully proficient.<br /><br />Identifying the monitors<br /><br />During the configuration, you may sometimes reverse the roles of primary and secondary monitors by mistake. To avoid the confusion, there is the Identify button. When you click on it, a large display of number 1 and 2 is shown on the currently configured primary and secondary monitor. It automatically disappears after few seconds.<br /><br />Physical placement of monitors<br /><br />Supposed you have a laptop on your table. You are also using an external monitor. As mentioned earlier, the mouse cursor will move into the secondary display, when you scroll beyond the right border of the primary display. This is fine. But this assumes that the external monitor is placed physically on the right side of your laptop. What if it was placed on the left side? It would be very difficult to remember to move the cursor beyond the right edge of the screen so that it appears on the monitor that is visually on your left side. Try this out. Then you will realise the amount of confusion this can create.<br /><br />Anyway, as always, this problem has been thought of and managed. If you have to physically position the secondary screen on right, left, top or bottom – with respect to the primary display – do the same thing with the display icons in the settings tab. Just drag the box representing secondary display (2) and move it to the right position with respect to the number 1 box. Choose Apply. Now, Windows will understand when to spill over the cursor to the secondary display. Simple, effective, well thought, elegant – but unfortunately, not even noticed!<br /><br />Handling presentations on dual desktop configuration<br /><br />Here is why I like the way the Microsoft guys think (the guys who design the features). They not only made this dual display feature available, they also thought further than that. Because this feature would be used most commonly for presentations, PowerPoint must be able to utilise this feature to your advantage.<br /><br />Of course, it was possible to physically drag the PowerPoint window to the secondary display and then run the presentation, but it would not provide you with any additional control.<br /><br />PowerPoint allows you to control the presentation from your base PC and display it in regular, full screen mode on the secondary display. That is not all. It also shows you slide notes automatically on the base screen. The audience does not know you have dual monitor configuration. They think you are looking at the slide show on your computer. But actually you are reading the notes! Great thing to have when you are not well prepared or you have stage fright. Also very useful when you want to do other things related to the presentation, which you could simply never have been able to do on your PC without the audience noticing it.<br /><br />What are these things? Here is a list of common scenarios where this feature will be of immense help.<br /><br />1. You are in a sales presentation. During the presentation, customer is negotiating the price. You want to refer to your price list, use Excel and calculate some discounts and so on.<br /><br />2. You are in a technical presentation. Someone asks a question about a topic you are not fully clear about. You can now refer to the technical help / documentation or website, without disturbing the base presentation.<br /><br />3. Assuming you have an Internet connection, you can even chat with colleagues, take approval from your boss, download additional deliverables and clinch a deal without leaving the presentation.<br /><br />Configuring this PowerPoint feature is simple.<br /><br />1. Start PowerPoint on the primary monitor and open the required slide show.<br /><br />2. Choose Slide Show – Set up Show menu. (I have used Office 2003 as a reference).<br /><br />3. Notice that there is a section called Multiple Monitors.<br /><br />4. This is enabled only when dual monitors are configured.<br /><br />5. Open the popup – “Display slide show on” popup and choose ‘Secondary Display’.<br /><br />6. Also enable the Presenter View.<br /><br />7. That’s it. Now run the presentation as usual.<br /><br />8. The secondary display will show the presentation in full screen mode.<br /><br />9. You will also see a Presenter view on your base monitor. From this view, you can read notes, navigate slides, view slide thumbnails, view elapsed time and so on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611352511461885594.post-49403945058680164152008-08-01T11:04:00.000-07:002008-08-01T11:10:41.340-07:00Converting Fat32 File system to NTFS file system without file lossPerformance tips for Windows XP often mention the use of the NTFS file system because it works slightly faster than the FAT32 file system. Besides the performance benefit, you will also enjoy improved stability and security in comparison with the FAT32 file system.<br /><br />You can convert an existing FAT32 file system to NTFS without data loss, but always remember that older operating systems like Windows 98 cannot work with NTFS.<br /><br />Proceed with care if you have more than one operating system on your pc.<br /><br /> * Click on the Start button, right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage"<br /> * In the navigation pane on the left, expand "storage" and choose "Disk Management"<br /> * The details on the right will reveal the file system details for each of your drives. Also make a note of the drive's volume name.<br /><br />To convert a drive's file system :<br /><br /> * Click the Start button and select "Run"<br /> * Type "convert d: /fs:ntfs" (without the quotes - replace d: with the drive letter that you want to convert) and click ok<br /> * A dos box will open and ask for the drive's volume name<br /> * Enter the volume name and hit the ENTER key<br /><br />Windows will start the conversion to NTFS and notifies you when it is finished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611352511461885594.post-16615689945083701142008-08-01T11:03:00.000-07:002008-08-01T11:04:20.487-07:00Super fast shutting down of computerHave You ever thing that your PC or laptop need more time for shutdown?

On more than one occasion I’ve seen references to a five (5) letter limitation when the button is renamed. I always wondered if this was true or just an assumption someone made because the default ‘start’ just happened to fit the button size. So, I decided to run a test and see if there really was a five character limit.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10;" > <img src="http://www.theeldergeek.com/images/Change%20Start%20Text/image001.gif" width="142" border="0" height="26" /> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"> <span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10;" > As you can see from the screen capture above it would seem that the five character limit isn’t etched in stone. The button expanded to accept the text I entered with no problem. I’ve been using the system for a few weeks now with no adverse effects. That’s not to say I won’t discover something down the road a bit, but for now I feel comfortable with the changes.

Click Compile Script and then save the altered file using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command – Make sure to use the Save As command and choose a name for the file.

Run Disk Defrag, a scan disk, a virus scan, a malware scan, and clear your recycle bin. An unusually slow Internet connection experience is often the only sign that your computer is infected with viruses or other malware. Delete old files and temporary files. Never allow the free space on your C: drive to be less than 10% of the total size or twice the installed RAM (which ever is larger). A well maintained PC will operate much better than a PC that has never had any maintenance. Google or your local computer repair store should be able to help you with this if you don't know how.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Reset Your Home Network. Sometimes restarting your home network if you have one will drastically increase the speed of your connection.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Optimize your cache or temporary Internet files. These files improve your Internet connection performance by not downloading the same file over and over. When a web site puts their logo graphic on every page your computer only downloads it when it changes. If you delete the temporary files it must be downloaded again. if you disable the cache, it must be downloaded every time you view a page that uses it. This can be done by opening Internet Explorer, clicking on "Tools" at the top and choosing "Internet Options". On the General tab, click the "Settings" button next to Temporary Internet Files. Set Check for newer versions to "Automatically". Set amount of disk space to use to 2% of your total disk size or 512 MB, which ever is smaller. On Firefox, click "Tools" then "Options," and go to the privacy tab. Then click on the Cache tab within this.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Never bypass your router. Most routers include a firewall that is very difficult for hackers to defeat. If you don't need to use Wireless then hook your computer directly to your router. Routers will only slow down your connection by a few Milli-seconds. You won't notice the difference but the hackers will.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> If you are using a Wireless router, make sure it doesn't conflict with a cordless phone or wireless camera. Wireless routers come in two varieties; 802.11bg (2.4Ghz) or 802.11a (5.8Ghz) If you are using a 2.4Ghz Cordless phone and 2.4Ghz Wireless router then your Internet connection speed will slow while you use the cordless phone. The same is true of wireless security cameras. Check on your phone and camera, if it's 900Mhz then it's fine. If it says 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz then it could be the cause of your slow connection speed while they're in use.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Call your Internet service provider (ISP). Sometimes you just have bad service. They can usually tell if your connection is substandard without having a technician come to your home. Just be nice and ask.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Upgrade your computer. If your computer is slow, it doesn't matter how fast your Internet connection is, the whole thing will just seem slow. You can only access the Internet as fast as your PC will allow you to.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Replace your old cable modem. Any solid-state electronics will degrade over time due to accumulated heat damage. Your broadband modem will have a harder and harder time 'concentrating' on maintaining a good connection as it gets older (signal to noise ratios will go down, and the number of resend requests for the same packet will go up). An after-market cable modem as opposed to a cable-company modem will frequently offer a better connection.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> Often your connection speed is slow because other programs are using it. To test if other programs are accessing the Internet without your knowing, Click Start, Click Run. Type "cmd" (without quotes). Type "netstat -b 5 > activity.txt". After a minute or so, hold down Ctrl and press C. This has created a file with a list of all programs using your Internet connection. Type activity.txt to open the file and view the program list. Ctrl Alt Delete and open up the Task Manager. Go to the process menu and delete those processes that are stealing your valuable bandwidth. (NOTE: Deleting processes may cause certain programs to not function properly)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;"> After you have tried all this try your connection again and see if it's running any </span></li></ol>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
