Hi
I've recently updated my laptop to windows 7 and have been having no luck displaying my extended desktop on my tv. I've been connecting the 2 with a HDMI cable and when I'm in screen resolution it detects the monitor fine and shows it's been extended as it should however nothing displays on my tv. I've done everything thing I can think of, I've change the HDMI ports, I've messed around with the display settings. I don't know what to do!!

Any ideas?!!!

Yeah, plus I've tried on the other HDMI ports as well. The thing is it worked fine until I updated my system.

Redownload the display driver for the integrated graphics/dedicated graphics (whichever you have, or both) and try again. Do a 'Clean Install' if given the option.
