hey people, im new here so b gentle haha

basically, ive been using 2 displays, a 17" lcd monitor and my 40" samsung hdtv.
i use my 2nd display(TV) for when i watch films on my pc, then select back to normal single display once i have finished(it annoyed me the pointer would go off screen onto the 2nd display when i wasnt using it) and it was working fine like this for ages, then 1 day i activated 2nd display as normal, but it wouldnt reconise it what so ever.

ive tryed reconnecting all the wires etc but it still doesnt reconise the 2nd display??
all i can think is maybe some kind of update has changed settings and made it not reconise it?

and help would b greatly apprieciated?
thanks

hello, and welcome to the forums!
maybe you could try and uninstall and then reinstall the drivers for the graphics card?

well to uninstall right click my computer -> properties -> device manager -> display adapters-> your card -> uninstall
then restart and make sure you have the latest drivers for your card (check the manufacturers site) and then reinstall them :)
