    Under SettingsSelected: display only on the second screen, now the screen doesn't work. :Display I accidentally selected only display on the second display. The monitor is a bit old and it shows the warning 'out of range', so when I plug it in, there is nothing showing on it, but also because I chose that setting I can't see anything on the primary laptop screen a bit of a design flaw if you ask me. The setting cannot be reversed unless the monitor is plugged in but when it's plugged in I can't see anything catch 22?.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

  3. camera Carl Zeiss 12MP Nokia N8 doesn´t work

    Hi Guys!!! I have a Problem with Nokia N8, the camera doesn´t work, I can open the camera software and runs fine, but does not display picture (black screen), it doesn´t displays imagen in video rec mode too, if I select second camera it works well. I've
    seen that Carl Zeiss camera lens does not open when I take a picture or rec video, can this be a problem in the firmware?

    I bought Nokia N8 two weeks ago, and I didn´t do any test of camera until today, My big mistake!!! :smileymad:

  4. Selected: display only on the second screen, now the screen doesn't work.

    Plugging in second screen makes built-in display + second screen go blank

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    Please share these details.

    1) Are you connecting the second monitor through the VGA or the HDMI port?

    2) What is the make and model of the second monitor?



    This issue could be caused due to some incorrect settings or due to an incompatible driver. I would suggest you to try these steps and check:



    First, I would suggest you to check if you have configured the second screen correctly. It depends on which settings you have selected for the second monitor. You can extend, duplicate or choose only the second screen to be ON. If you have selected only the
    second screen to be ON and if the second screen is not compatible, then both the screen might appear black. Refer to this article to check if you have configured the second screen correctly:



    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors



    I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the graphic card driver from the manufacturer website and check, if it works. Refer to the following steps to uninstall the graphic card driver from the Device Manager.

    a. Click on Windows key + X and then, select Device Manager.

    b. Locate and expand “Display Adaptor” in the Device Manager Window.

    c. Right-click on the “Display Adaptor” and click on “uninstall" the graphic card driver.

    d. Restart the computer and check, if it works.

    Hope this answers your query. You can write back to us for further queries/issues related to windows and we will be glad to assist you further.
