    So here's the deal. Yesterday I decided to try out using my computer as a blu ray player on my HDTV. I connected it via HDMI and got it to work. Basically what I set up was using my HDTV as my monitor and the laptop monitor was just black. When I got bored with this I unplugged it and brought it into the other room to watch Planet Earth on blu ray on the laptop alone. I now get a message that states 'create overlay failed. please lower your screen resolution or color depth and try again.' This is using vista. I've looked everywhere and it seems that my computer must be thinking that it is still connected to the HDTV. What can I do to get the computer to think that there is only one monitor attached.

    In the windows mobility center is states that there are no displays connected. in the display settings, my digital flat panel (1920x1200 60hz) on NVIDIA GeForce 8600m GT, has both boxes checked (this is my main monitor and extend the desktop onto this monitor). I dont think that second box should be checked... For the default monitor profile, nothing is checked...


    Any ideas? I'm lost.
