I’m running Windows Vista, and I work with an external screen or projector most of the time.
Sometimes I disconnect and hibernate the computer while images are displayed on Screen 2. When I get to my next location and power on my computer, the images stay on screen 2 even though I do not have a projector connected.
It took a while, but I figured out how to get those images to Screen 1 without connecting a projector.
1) Start the Windows Task Manager by clicking Ctrl-Shift-Esc.
2) Click on the Task that needs to be moved from Screen 2 to Screen 1.
3) In the menu bar select Windows->Maximize. That should do it. If it doesn’t try…
4) Windows->Bring to Front, then try Windows-> Maximize again
5) Or try Windows->Minimize then Windows-> Bring to Front, then Windows-> Maximize

Got a cool case where a client needs Disaster Recovery work done from his old Digital Unix Computer.
He’s got the old QIC tapes & drive (I hope the tape drive still works) with 100MB SCSI drives. Too cool

Man oh Man oh Man!
I tried so hard to get my vtiger CRM to speed up. It was running slow. Each page took 60 seconds to come up.
Finally dig after dig after dig and this has seemed to work!
comment out just a few lines in include/utils/ListViewUtils.php. (any debug log lines with $list_result)
See this website for details

That made the most significant difference.
Other things helped like reducing the number of “talk backs”. Modify data/CRMEntity.php

I have a 250GB Hard Drive and my weekly full virus scans were taking 4 Hours in Safe-Mode. Plus inside of the .clamwin directory, files marked xxx.infected were being remarked infected so they became xxx.infected.000
So I started playing with the “Filters” under Tools > Preferences. I increased the defaults that they provided and added these:
. *.infected
. *.mp3
. *.mp4
. *.pdf
. *.conf
. *.wma
. *.aup
. *.au
. *.jpg
. *.jpeg
. *.bmp
. *.tiff
. *.png
. *.wav
. *.txt
. *.gif
. *.vdi
. *.ps
. *.url
. *.xml
. *.sav
. *.vmem
. *.vmsn
. *.iso
. *.vmdk
. *.htm
. *.html
. *.avi
. *.mpg
. *.mpeg
. *.a2c
. *.3g2
. *.a2w
I will post later to inform of improvement.
Clamwin is a free virus scanning program for Windows & Linux Operating Systems. You can download it from http://www.clamwin.org
