I purchase a plasma TV however it doesn't has the standard computer monitor port. Can I run the laptop image through an "S" drive? Tried to connect them no luck.

There adapters available to convert the VGA port on the laptop to either S-Video, RCA, or HDMI. HDMI is the best way to go, but be careful when the laptop on the plasma because of the screen burn problem that plasmas have. Be sure to turn the tv off for 10 min every 2 hours, otherwise the start menu, task bar and desktop could potentially "burn in".

The problem is that without a VGA or HDMI port there is no way for the laptop to see what type of monitor you have, so you need to explicitly specify your TV's resolution on your Laptop's Display settings
Typical resolutions: 42" Plasma 1024x765
50" 1365x765

Bad news it is the nVidia drivers. I had a customers PC that did exactly the same thing on me, I tried everything to re-enable the HDMI, no joy, then ended up re-installing Windows and installing the drivers off her CD - worked fine. The only thing that didn't work with the old drivers was Blu-ray playback on TV as the old drivers didn't support HDMI copy protection. I then tried again upgrading to the new drivers, again HDMI went off, but made a system restore just in case, rolled back to old drivers, HDMI was fine. nVidia really need to sort this bug out.
