Basically I have a laptop with a smashed screen, connected to a tv via HDMI. Everything is fine when the ld is closed but as soon as I open the lid (to use the keyboard) the resolution changes to the altptop screen's resolution and changes to dupulicate the displays...instead os just displaying the TV.

I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that the laptop uses JUST the TV and doesn't change to "duplicate displays" upon opening and closing the lid. I have windows 7.

It only started to do this AFTER a lot of windows updates, I'd just installed windows 7 and it was fine up to that point, but after doing 100+ updates i started to have this problem, so I'm assuming there's a option in windows 7 somewhere to help this problem.
