Two Questions

Okay so my first question is this: Right now my wireless light is on showing that it's wireless, but if I close my laptop, or if it goes to sleep, and then I go back onto my laptop the wireless stops working and the light is off and it won't go on when I move the switch. I have a Aspire 5590

My second question is: I've hooked up a second monitor to my laptop I checked the settings and it works like this, if I move my mouse to the right and keep going, my mouse appears on the second screen. How can I make it so that the start menu and everything goes from the first to the second screen that way I can close my laptop, cause if I close my laptop screen it disables the second screen also/

Thanks!

 

For the first problem you have, go to device manager, click on network adaptors, right click on your wireless adaptor, then click the power management tab, untick "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" (if it's ticked). See if this solves that problem.

 

Try what bangert said.

This is called "Extended Desktop" I believe, it means that your desktop is shared between the two monitors. This is fixable by modifying your graphic card settings - look at your GPU control panel, there should be a monitor options.

 

I can't find a way to make my second monitor have everything I don't know where to look in my video card control panel.

 

It will be easier if you say what OS are you running and which GPU does your laptop has.

 

Windows XP, Celtrino Duo? If that's what your looking for.

 

GPU=Graphic processing unit - the graphic card.

 

in xp right click a blank space on the desktop.then get in to the graphics properties....then we need to now what graphics card you have. if its the intel onboard graphics. use the intel control panel.
then control panel,power options. set it so when you close the lid do nothing.
this will turn your laptop in to a pc box. add a mouse and a usb keyboard and your away. why you would want to do this ?
let us know why.
get back to us with your graphics type and we can help more.
or use the help files already on your laptop.

best of luck
