Windows 7 feedback - Speak to us at Microsoft, Asus M4A785G HTPC M/B with AMD II X2 240 2,8 GHz cpu, Build-in ATI HD4200 (Using both VGA and HDMI in 1920x1080), Both graphich cards ar using the same driver: ATI 8.661.0.0, The TV connected is a Sony Bravia KDL-40W5E, I agree with C4702, once the system is setup, it must be possible to disable the monitor/TV auto-detection, so that nothing changes whenever the TV is turned off. It should work similarly but without having to run a whole secondary VGA/DVI cable to your telly. I have the same inconvenience on Windows 7, [How to] KEEP MP on the same screen (TV) always? I have the same issues running on my ThinkPad T61 connected to an external monitor via a VGA cable. But now they dont have the Mac monitor detection problem, it's plug in and out, autodetect Microsoft should really get their stuff back together. to do. I am not mad.... just a little frustrated that I cannot close the lid or I will get a mess in my desktop. Until this is Sie können ein Display vorübergehend über eine andere Schnittstelle anschließen, wenn die DisplayPort … You can see a window where you can set up the monitor autiomatic turn on and off. to be one of your priorities. arrgh. 3 Monitors, 2 connected via DVI on an ATI 5850. 'DMMEnableDDCPolling' registry does not exist on my PC and there is no 'ati uncheck "Show compatible hardware" of device rediscovery, complete with a cacophony of disconnection and reconnection chimes, turning the local DVI monitor on and off, flipping the desktop back and forth between that monitor and the data projector, cancelling active menus and redrawing open is specific to HDMI and Display Port. So, two years of Windows users complaining and no move by Microsoft to do anything at all to rectify this problem. That said, I cobbled together a fix for my own uses because I was only running into this issue at the end of the night when turning off monitors. I would be very happy if microsoft or intel would fix this problem. (Win7 64 Ultimate, Nvidia chipset - GT 430) - an old VGA monitor and HDMI full hd Dang! shut off the monitors, or if i turn off the monitors, or anything that shuts down the 30", then I lose it, and can only get it back by rebooting the PC, playing with the monitor set up, switching plugs around, and eventually getting it back. I am also having this problem and it is becoming very annoying. 2) The machine will be "out of resources" error message when you eventually switch HDMI back on, yet the machine is totally fine. We need a "Disable auto-detect" feature or at least a registry fix. Intel G41 on-board graphics. non-existant, even while the card is still plugged in. hotplug line active even if the monitor gets turned off. Not solvable it appears, other than not setting the monitors to sleep. I refuse to cut cables. It may communicate back to the OS and/or driver for whatever reason to enable software based features, but it's still doing it. My next fix will be to cut off and old monitor cable and pin out the plug to fake out laptop into thinking an external is there. This problem is not new in Windows 7. I have the same issue with my AMD 6870. I bought a HDMI extension cable so that I could try and remove the pin that detects hot-plugging or whatever, but sadly I damaged another pin in the process, back to square one. Suppose you're doing serious, professional grafix work on your laptop, which thankfully is adequate in both Processor & Video specs, e.g. I agree Windows 7 kind of destroyed my love for Windows, I'd much rather have my XP again. I thought I was going nuts - I've been looking off and on for a solution for literally a couple of months. YET, IP connectivity remains in a limited sense (downloading something P2P or HTTP download continues to work) ... Sadly, it really feels like Microsoft has a lot of discontent towards its own users. For those who have reported success with the solution of removing the hotplug detect pin from the DVI cable, this is essentially the same thing as in the VGA days. something to do with it, but the ROOT CAUSE is the FEATURE IN WINDOWS that changes the output based on the presense of the monitor. Before that, i was able to turn the main screen off with no auto detection refresh. (PROBLEM!!!) with this frustrating design shortcoming. I just wonder if this bug is fixed in W7 SP1. and the monitor were truly separate. Also, if DVI is unaffected, does using DVI<->HDMI adapters help? It is not virtuous of Microsoft that they've been so horribly slow on this. It raises the point that the feature was driven by perfectly good intentions. DisplayPorts autodetect your monitor's presense which is supposed to help reduce power but has the complete opposite effect. Please someone tell me how i make windows not do this and go back to duplicating Shutting off the TV, and sometimes my monitors all go to sleep! Hopefully someone from Microsoft will hear the cries of the peeps, and "let the monitor controls go back to the poeple". So, I am not getting that with my laptop and my 2nd monitor connected thru HDMI. I tried J CH and brianmartin192's solution of taping pin 19 on my HDMI connector, but when the tape is on, the touchscreen won't recognize the TV at all. I would like it to take over on its own. Matthew-55:thanks, that worked for me - good call, will be a workaround until this is fixed, if ever. shortening chip pin HPD_SINK on SDA_SINK does the job without any resistor. I can no longer go into my display And then sell. I used to be able to turn off my TV and keep HDMI audio running through the receiver. DVI is digital, so you can get a very nice crisp image to a modern high-res monitor via an That is probably why we have ended up with the dog's breakfast that is Windows 8. --- I recently replaced my main development platform (older XP-Pro) with a Win7-Ultimate platform, Core Have a monitor hooked up by DVI, and an HDMI hookup to my TV out in the living room. ( Iam in a hotel now, in data center - pulled VGA cord off their monitor to cheat my laptop into displaying) And yes I know my way around any and all display settings areas. I believe your situation is precisely what Microsoft sought to address by creating the "feature" everyone else here is complaining about. They all turned to be using PTN3361BBS I'm a sysadmin for a major university, responsible for 220 classrooms that have single or dual monitors and 1 to 3 projectors (plus video scalers and video switchers). Amazing, I'm having the exact opposite problem. Tried using onboard wireless, same result ... so it's NOT the NIC itself. rather during the power on sequence of the projector. assume your tv/monitor is turned on. This is a work-around not a solution, but it resolved my problem, maybe it will be helpful for you - In the Display settings, I changed which monitor is considered my "main" monitor, that fixed some Being frustrated by this same issue but only using a single monitor. Go to the "setup multiple displays" I fix computers for a living and this issue has drove me up the wall. When I switch on the the projector I hear the Windows device recognition sound. So I've read this entire thread, nodding my head sadly in agreement at each familiar point, and the best that MS can do is ask for a "detailed list of conditions under which to replicate the issue". It seems almost like a bug in the AMD driver, but it's a fortunate it better than I can. Go to Power Options in your control panel under Hardware and Sound. Use the adapter from the computer side. I have a 27" screen on an eyefinity card which only has 6 mini display ports, in this kb article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2625567 ms basically offers two workarounds "don't use display port" and "don't turn off the screen", I have no dual link display port dvi dongle so i need to use display port (to reach the native resolution of the screen), and I connect to the pc via teamviewer...which would turn it on all the time when I just let it go to sleep, this windows behavior makes display port unusable and I will have to return the eyefinity card because of it.
