Like many people I have a desktop, including CPI and monitor, running on Windows XP.
I also have a television: specifically a Samsung flat screen.
My CPI seems to have only one VGA port, though I have a splitter as well.
When I connect both TV and monitor to the splitter, the monitor darkens a little and the TV says “PC” and “Mode Not Supported”.
Even when I just plug directly into the TV–-without the splitter--I get the same problem (“PC” and “Mode Not Supported”).
How can I get video on both TV and monitor, via splitter?
Thanks

How do you use Janusvm (http://www.janusvm.com/) on a Mac notebook or other system running MacOS? There is a lot of information explaining how to set up on Windows (using VmWare), but I could not see any information or HOWTOs on setting up on a Mac. JanusVM launches without any problems using VMWare Fusion, but I'm not able to get the VPN connection to work. Upon launch, there is a message saying that the Tor directory was being renewed but this does not seem to complete even over several hours. Many thanks in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alsopen (talk • contribs) 08:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
The add-ons page for my firefox lists 5 versions of Java Console. Is it supposed to be that way? Should I uninstall the older versions? ike9898 (talk) 13:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
I need a web crawler that can be scheduled to downloaded a site every 2 hours. I've tried using windows task scheduler for web crawlers I know of, namely HTTrack, but all it does it open the program and I can't find a way to make it actually start downloading automatically. Does anyone here know of a (preferably free/open source) web crawler that runs on Windows and can be scheduled? Thanks for your help 82.43.89.71 (talk) 16:14, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
I've just set up an Ubuntu machine with VNC; I would like to log into it with my Windows XP machine on the same network. I follow the steps here, with PuTTY and TightVNC running on my Windows machine, to log in. Everything seems to work great as I use TightVNC to control my Ubuntu machine's desktop; except that the Shift keys do not seem to work. Typing Shift-K into a terminal window just produces a lowercase "k". However, if I hold down the "k" key in a terminal window so that autorepeat starts, and then I press either Shift key, uppercase "K"s are produced for as long as I hold the Shift key. Holding the Shift key first does not produce an uppercase character. Any hints? Not being able to type * or _ or " is driving me nuts. Comet Tuttle (talk) 23:58, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
