    i can't figure out why everytime i hook up my M17x to my LCD TV it automatically does Dual Screen instead of just showing on my LCD TV. It use to just show on my LCD TV when i hooked up HDMI, but now i get dual screens and it is confusing because when i identify the screens, it shows screen 1 and

    2 on the LCD TV and screen 3 as laptop LCD. i'm using the modded 187.66. even with the 186.81 nvidia drivers, everytime i connect HDMI, it does dual screens instead of just the LCD TV. i changed the settings to LCD TV only and would apply it, unhook the HDMI, plug it back in and get dual screens. any ideas on why this is? i couldn't figure it out so i did a clean install of win7 and it's still doing dual screens when HDMI is plugged in.
