Video Software
The video software has been integrated into the standard Windows video
utility. You can access the utility by moving the screen pointer over a clear
area of desktop on the Windows display and clicking the right touch pad
button. When the pull down menu appears, click the left button on the item
Properties
. This will open the
Display Properties
window. You can also find
the Display Properties in the
Control Panel
folder
. (Start/Control
Panel/Display
).
You can use this Windows utility to make all kinds of changes to the video
display. The major area of interest here is the Settings tab.
Settings
Left click on the Settings tab to
display the basic display
settings of your notebook
display. Here you can set the
color depth and screen
resolution.
The main area displays icons
that represent your monitors. If
more than one icon is
displayed, double-click each
one to enable or to set more
advanced properties. Also, if
more than one icon is
displayed, you can drag them
to the positions that represent
the way you want to move
items between monitors. With
two monitors, say the built-in
screen and an external monitor
attached to your notebook, you can bring the mouse cursor over to the other
screen by moving it over the edge of the screen. For example, if you are using
two monitors, and you want to move items from one monitor to the other by
dragging over the left and right screen border, position the icons side-by-side.
To move items between monitors by going over to top and bottom screen
border, position the icons one above the other. The icon positions don’t have
to correspond to the physical positions of your monitors.
The
Advanced
button allows access to the video graphics software driver,
monitor settings and performance.
