  1. Programs freezing on monitor that isn't "main display"


    Hi, I'm having an issue with my computer that didn't used to exist. I have a dual screen set up with "extend these displays" option set, I noticed about a week ago that when I started certain programs (autodesk maya and substance painter) on my monitor that wasn't set to "make this my main display" the programs would freeze before fully starting up. I've tried updating drivers for everything and still nothing, I've even tried different monitors thinking that was the issue but still nothing. Any solution that can be offered would be appreciated as.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.
