oh my, i have so many issues with vista. But i'll go one by one.

Here's the main one bugging me right now:

I am trying to hook up my laptop to an external monitor (plasma tv).
For some reason, the cloned display on the television, is quite small. It does not extend to the entire television screen. I've tried everything, trying to change the display settings, the monitor 1 and monitor 2, the resolution, etc. Is it a vista problem? Is it a monitor compatibility problem? Is it a cable problem? Is it a driver problem? Anybody else have this problem? Ideas?

Phew, thanks

I ahve a laptop running Win Vista 64 bit. I have exactly the same problem. I had called support at HP and they assisted me with download a new driver. It worked for the afternoon and this morning, the external monitor came upi blank again.

I am on the phone with them again.. Stay posted.

Chances are that your display is not "technically" supported by stupid Vista.

I would suggest you download Service Pack 1 for Vista. It fixed my display issue.
