computer connect laptop tv

I have a hp laptop with vista. When I connect my laptop to the tv with an hdmi cable, the picture is great, but I have no sound.

Thanks for your info.
Also, how can I turn off the display on my laptop when I use as the TV as my monitor, for watching movies on the big screen. I don't think that the display on my laptop must be on while watching tv.

The manual, if supplied, must be the answer. If not, ask HP support as you request on the connection for the sound... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  • computer connect laptop tv... no picture

    I bought a VGA with audio cable to connect my laptop to my tv. The audio comes through the TV very well, but I don't have a picture. The cables are connected properly. How can I get the photo of monitor to display on the TV?

    Try these:

    1. right click on the desktop-> output to-> Dual Display Clone.

    2. press on the on your laptop keyboard shortcut that turns on an additional display. The function (FN) FN + F5 keyboard shortcut is used for this purpose on many laptops. On others, it is F4 (HP) or F8 (Dell), usually the F key the monitor on that image.

    3. open Windows Mobility Center by clicking the Start button, click on the Panel, clicking Mobile PC, and then click Mobility Center Windows. And then, on the external display tile, click display of connection, even though it says its connected.

    4. in customizing display settings, try to change the resolution to a setting down like 1024 x 768 and see one that works.

    From the information you provided it seems like your laptop settings are configured to expand the display. If you want to mirror the display on the laptop to the TV or for more options, you can go through the steps mentioned below.

    To select different display settings at any time, open display settings in Control Panel.

    Open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings. The links below will give you more information.

  • Computer connection laptop problem - says password is incorrect

    Hello

    I have a small Acer aspire laptop V5 that I use to run windows applications a little when I can't use my office.  This has had 8 pre-installed windows.  I have upgraded to windows 8.1 and it ran OK for a few weeks.  However, now, when I try to log in (on the blue screen where it shows my name, e-mail address and has a box where I enter my password) it tells me my password is incorrect and to make sure that I use the password of my Microsoft account.  I do this, but it won't let me. I have not changed anything since I logged setting the machine a couple of weeks.

    There is no other way I know to get into my laptop, so it's actually a Clipboard.

    Anyone know of helpful advice?

    Any help appreciated - it's a Clipboard rather big and expensive to keep on my desk.

    Kind regards

    I understand that you can not login to your admin account. If it redirects you to account.live.com, I conclude that it is a Microsoft Account, which can be brought back online.

    Then I suggest that you refer to the following articles in order to recover your password.

    (See the link to reset your password ).

    Note: Ignore the suggestion to reinstall Windows at this time.

  • Cannot restore the connection between the computer wireless laptop and printer

    I have a Photosmart 6510 and a HP laptop computer connected wireless.  They worked together wonderfully since a few months ago, I installed the printer.  The wifi was briefly in standby.  When I sleep and tried to print I get an error message that the printer is not found.  The printer indicates that the wifi is on (blue light is on and the internet window shows that it is connected ad gives all network information, including the IP address.  I tried all my usual electronic bugs: turn the printer off and back on, unplug the printer and let it rest, reboot the laptop, etc.   I am running Windows 7.  With my old HP printer, I get an error message when the printer is offline, that would allow me to go to a "fix" and click to get back online.  I couldn't find this option now.

    Nothing works (the mobile web access so I know it is related also).

    Are there other things I can try before I have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the printer?  I hope there is an easier difficulty.

    And, if I have to reinstall it, I have to write it?

    Thank you.

    I fixed it.  I unplugged the router and the modem, plugged them back in and click on the reset button on the router and the laptop and printer now talk to each other once more.

    There is a problem with this laptop.  Before even I had a wireless printer, I have everything reset completely to the laptop if there is a power failure (but not to the modem in stanby mode).

    My second question is always true since I have to reinstall Windows 7.  Once that I have reinstall the printer do I need to re-register it?

    Thank you.

    Yay for me!

  • How do I share all my music files and movie between my iMac, two iPads, my Apple Tv and my computer windows laptop (I know, a strange out)

    I have a Mac as my main computer, a laptop running windows 8.1 as my secondary (portable) backup, my wife has an IPad, I have an IPad, and we have Apple TV connected to our tv room. How can I go on the sharing of multimedia files (music and film) between all my devices? I use ITunes on my i Mac and Windows laptop to share media, but I would like to have a central repository for all media files and access them from all of my devices.

    That is what iCloud is for. Of course, you need an account iCloud with enough storage to hold all your files.
