    since i plugged 42 inch LG tv, i can't sw on my alien without the 42 inch tv been plugged in via hdmi.
    if i boot it without plugged 42 tv' via hdmi, screen is black just after windows 7 logo assembles. I think the system may think y=that 42 inch tv is a primary display - BUT IT IS NOT - THE HELL

    i have to reboot with hdmi plugged in,

    i am freaking out again, this ati drivers are so bad, i hate them.

    Why the hell my pc have to be hooked up to external tv in order to boot properly ?

    EDIT: problem solved by unpluging hdmi while laptop is logged in windows - lol
