Hi there,
I've had my computer connected to my television many times in recent weeks. The TV is a Samsung with a DVI input so it is an easy connection from my laptop. Each time I connected, Vista would figure out that I was adding a 2nd monitor and adjust accordingly. I would get the same image on the TV as I did on the computer. Tonight when I did the usual, I immediately got a message saying that some visual elements were shut off and Aero was changing to Basic. As soon as I disconnected from the TV, it reverted back to Aero. I cant figure out why. I dont think I have installed or changed anything since I last had it all working successfully. Any ideas?
