Forums -> Multiple monitors -> 3 monitors on laptop
mike   2009-12-26 07:44
I have a Toshiba laptop, running Windows7. The laptop has both a HDMI and VGA outputs on it.
I will be installing Ultramon to manage my monitors.

I have attached a Samsung 23" HD TV/Monitor to the HDMI output and a eMACHINE 21.5" monitor to the VGA output.

I am able to extend the desktop to either one of those devices, but not both of them at the same time.

Will Ultramon enable me to have both of those monitors have the extended desktop at the same time ?

Thanks

I thought that it may be of help if I listed the following information:

Windows7 64bit
Monitor adapter = Mobil Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family

UltraMon can't help with this, the hardware would need to support this (I'm not aware of any laptop which does). You could install a USB or PCMCIA video card for the second external monitor.

Thank you for you help.

I'm researching the options that you suggested.

I have similar problem.
I want safari debugger on largest monitor.
Original source in wordpad on 2nd.
My html local web in safari browser on 3rd.
I put 2nd monitor on laptop USB using $50 "USB to VGA" adapter + latest win 7 update.
I can drag a window from any to any other
BUT I have to drag from center through right to get to left monitor.
Similar problem switching monitor cables.
"control pannel", display, settings only shows 2 monitors, only identifies 2?

Bob, the next release of UltraMon, 3.1.0, will have a fix for this, it will support changing display settings for video cards with legacy drivers on Windows 7. You should then be able to position all 3 monitors correctly, which will fix the issue with mouse movement.
