PC to TV
i cant hook my laptop up to my TV, its recently formated, i use to be able to plug the same laptop into the TV and it worked, i used a different windows version, im now im VISTA ULTIMATE and must be missing a diver display or something because when i goto the screen resolution i dont see 2 screens and cant get it to work, i use to see 2 mini screens and the 2nd one would let tv / pc work...

if i can get any help / advice i would appreciate it sorry if this is isnt written to great not all there at the moment...

i should have added it would be easier to figure all this out but the laptop im trying to get this done on, the screen is 80% broken i can only see the 1st 20% of the screen on the left
