I recently bought a battery powered monitor (GeChic On Lap Monitor) which gives you a great external display even at the 640x480 resolution. It is no problem to activate it using the control panel.
1. Issue: I have similar KRC2 systems using the same Windows XPe but different versions of Kuka System software V5.x. On some systems after a reboot the Option for both monitors stays active and on some systems the option switches after a reboot back to LCD. How to make sure the option "both" stays active?
2. Issue: Is there a way to have the external monitor as boot display instead of LCD (Kuka-HMI Display)?

what kind of reboot? cold start or hibernate?
-
Cold Start (and Windows shutdown)
-
windows shutdown is not important, switching power off and back on is also not guaranteeing cold start. are you sure you selected cold start? how?
-
I am sure. I am using coldstart.reg.

Hi Florida,
normally it's stored in registry from winxpe.
You can check it (regedit):[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Chips\Device0]
"DisplayFlags"=dword:00000003 3:= KCP/Monitor)
2:= only KCP) 1:= only Monitor) -
Thank you sjx!
That pointed me in the right direction. In my case I needed to select the first entry in the list HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video as shown here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video\{1D463511-CE9C-4ED6-BF8E-DA9D988357A0}\0000] and change the entry for DisplayFlags as described in the previous post!
