The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dual monitors functioning improperly

Asked by ggwatts in General Laptop

Tags: ,

Using PowerPoint 2002 Office XP and Windows XP with a Dell 8100 laptop. Since I cannot get an external monitor to work properly I presume the problem is with Windows, not PowerPoint

Formally, when I connected a monitor or projector the desktop ran simultaneous on both monitors. Without any change in settings or installations the 2nd monitor view disappeared leaving a dark screen. I adjusted the settings and can extent the PowerPoint desktop onto the 2nd monitor but it is a blank blue screen to which I can reposition the mouse.

 I restored Windows to a previous date and the problem was cured temporally but shortly thereafter it recurred and I now have a dark 2nd monitor unless I click the extend box (on the # 2 in display Properties which is the default monitor, not the ViewSonic.

3 monitors are enabled in device manager:
a. default monitor which is the laptop Radeon 7500 [disabling it  had no effect]
b. laptop flat panel, the Radeon 7500 i.e. it is there twice.
c. external 2nd monitor, a ViewSonic

In display properties:
1 the flat panel on Radeon 7500
2 default monitor on Radeon 7500 also with extend desktop visable, which can be checked or not.
The ViewSonic external monitor is not there. Why?

Is the problem with 3 monitors? Before trying to set up "presenters view" in PowerPoint, which is my goal, I need to get the desktop to be seen on the 2nd monitor as it use to be.

I will appreciate advice.
