| Vista Home Premium x64 | Closing lid switches primary display When I hook my laptop up to a TV (using HDMI), the TV works fine as a secondary display. The problem is when I shut the laptop, it switches the primary display to the TV (it's set to do nothing when closing the lid). Some programs keep working normally, but the sound shuts off, and video's cease to play normally. I've found other posts from people having similar problems, but I haven't found any answers... |

This probably has something to do with a setting in your graphics card/Display properties. |
