    Hi,

    About two months ago, I was trying out different display drivers for Fallout 3. I ended up finding a good one and somehow this new driver made it so that my laptop and my tv are always connected, even if the TV is turned off or just on another input channel.

    Today, I accidentally installed some Windows Vista-proposed update for my video card and it ed everything up. I uninstalled that new driver and reinstalled my old on, which still works great, minus that now my TV and laptop do not permanently stay connected.

    Is there anyone out there who knows how to make them stay connected? It was great never having to wait for my laptop to stop stuttering every goddamn time I want to watch a movie on my TV.

    Thanks
