Hello,

I have a problem with extending my desktop onto another monitor. The monitor is a tv that is connected via vga cable. It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason when i click "apply" in adjusting screen resolution, i see my extended desktop for an instant on the tv, but then my laptop goes completely black. It looks as if it is not even turned on. I can here sound in the background because i played a movie, then tried to extend the desktop and i could hear it playing but could not see anything on my laptop. The tv could not even detect a signal.

Another problem I'm having though not sure if its related is a message every time i log into windows, and when i right click the desktop

Here is a picture of it...

When i click "ok" the desktop refreshes, the icons disappear and then reappear.

Any help is welcome, If there are any serious errors i believe my laptop is still under warranty but that would be a pain.

Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 3.0.5

Hi,
Usually, youi will notice that the computer becomes noticeably slow before a runtime error appears.
A wide variety of errors cause these problems. These include:

* conflicts between the Terminate and Stay Resident Program and other
* currently running applications;
* software issues;
* memory problems;
* and harmful applications such as computer viruses.

check if you are having ant of these problem.
