  1. Display configuration not staying per user


    Good morning,Our Communications Center has several dispatchers sharing two computers. Each has their own profile and login credentials.One Dispatcher likes her monitors arranged differently than everyone else. So when she logs in she rearranges the displays the way she likes I should mention that they have 5 displays per station. When she logs out and an new dispatcher logs in the first dispatchers display arrangement is still set.Is there any way to have the display arrangement be set by the profile?Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance for the help.Jim Scott

    is there any demand for a system configurator?

    Processor(V) <--drop down arrow
    -AMD(V)

    ---AM2(V)
    ----List of cpu's
    ---939(V)

    second display configuration issue

    Hi All,

    My configuration:

    Windows 10 Pro x64
    AMD Radeon HD 7800

    Latest updates and video drivers installed, no hardware changes for 2+ months, latest significant Windows update 2 weeks ago, latest AMD video driver installed at least a week ago.


    I have 2 identical displays connected via DVI to Windows PC over several years already with "Extend displays" configuration, and suddenly this configuration stopped working a couple of days ago when I was in the middle of doing something. Windows just replaced it with "Duplicate displays" configuration.


    During PC startup I see BIOS diagnostics on both displays. Windows detects 2 displays. "Show only on 1" and "Show only on 2" options work as expected.


    Problem: "Extend these displays" results in display 1 going blank and display 2 shows it's part of the image.


    AMD Eyefinity (which creates virtual desktop over several monitors) works fine - which suggests that problem maybe only with Windows configuration.


    What is done:

    • checked cables
    • removed and installed again latest AMD drivers
    • removed second display from the System Devices, refreshed hardware list and added display again - now I have "Generic PnP monitor" and monitor with correct name in Monitors section
    • searched for latest drivers for monitors and display adapters from Device Manager, nothing found

    Next I replaced one monitor with monitor from different manufacturer, and everything works as expected - "Extend these displays" configuration shows extended image.


    Any ideas what else can be done to fix the problem?


    Thank you in advance.

    Display configuration not staying per user

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
