How do I make my VDI desktop span my two (dual) monitors? (link)
  • Make the desktop image smaller (exit full-screen mode).
  • Drag the window so it splits both monitors.
  • Double click the title bar and it should detect both monitors and display on both.
  • It should remember you have dual monitors in the future and just go right to it.

Why did I get error "The connection to "Mustang {W7} My Personal Desktop" failed with status (1030)? (link)

This occurs if you DOUBLE-click the link instead of using a single click.  The error comes from the second instance conflicting with the first instance.

What is the replacement cycle for desktop computers (ITS)? (link)

ITS expects most computers to last between four and five years.  It is our goal to evaluate the functionality of computers when they turn four years old.  

If your computer is no longer up to the challenge and does not meet your working needs, please contact your Client Services Support person or send an email to help@wlu.edu to seek solutions.
