i have a nice little set up with an HDMI plug near my vista laptop that connects to my HD TV some 30 feet away. this way i don't have to tote my laptop to the TV when i want to stream internet video. i set it all up about a month ago and everything worked fine until yesterday. now when i plug in my HDMI cable to my laptop and switch my video source over to PC on my TV it doesn't detect any video. i know that the connection is solid because when i unplug the HDMI cable from my laptop the option to switch to the PC source on the TV goes away. i recently updated vista with some "required" update but don't know what it was or how to resolve this. any suggestions?

You could do a restore to before the update. This ill remove the updates and you can find out if its due to that.

I'd try a second hdmi cable to eliminate the cable. Being that long it may have been damaged.

3rd, update your video drivers.

Hope something easy fixes it.

I'll try a new cable but doubt that is it. It's a new cable that is installed in the walls. I hope that's not it. Can you tell me how to restore to before the update? I know just enough about computers to get into trouble but can figure it out if I know what the steps are. Also, I tried to update the video driver but the computer says I have the latest. Is there another way?
