Trying to Use My HDTV as a Primary Monitor
I set up my computer with my HDTV on the raised platform in my living room. I have the HDTV connected to my graphics card via HDMI cable. When I start my HP computer the HP splash screen comes up and then the screen turns black and I do not get the Windows 7 login screen. However my grpahics card has an additional port (DVI) and If I connect a monitor to the computer in addition tot he HDTV and start the computer I get the HP splash screen on the monitor and then eventually the Windows 7 login screen will come up on the HDTV.
If I then discconect the monitor and leave the HDTV as the primary display and turn off the computer and reboot the same thing happens where I get the HP splash screen and then goes black. Can anyone tell me how I can just get the computer to recognize the HDTV as the primary display and the windows 7 login screen to come up on teh HDTV? Thanks for any help that I may be given!
