• Help! I cannot connect my laptop to my tv via a vga cable.

  I have a VGA cable that I used for a while now, to connect my laptop to a TV for use as a moniter... I never had no problem that until recently.  Now, the screen appears on the TV screen only when the laptop is starting up, but as soon as the program windows load and gets the TV turns off screen to the password screen.  However when I start the computer by using 'safe mode' I have no problem at all either... and to make things worse and more complicated the screen for my laptop is broken so I can't use it all.  Please help me with any suggestions as to what I might be able to make :(

• When I try to connect with my wireless laptop will connect only to Local access. If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

  VIsta - Local access only

  HI -.
  I recently moved.   I use the same router from my old apartment and I had no problem connection in the past.   Since I moved I have a new Time Warner modem (Cisco) and the modem works fine.

  The router also works very well I'm able to connect with my iPhone and IPad without any problem.

  But when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, it will only connect to Local access.    If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

  It's a Dell Studio 15 with Vista.

  The computer is able to connect to wifi to other places without any problem, but for some reason that I can't connect home.   I tried to reset the modem and the router several times, but that did not help.   I tried the option repair & diagnose several times but it doesn't work.

  I tried to look for other solutions online and tried to disable IPv6, and while it helped some and I was able to connect wireless, the computer ran so slowly that it didn't seem like a good solution.

  This has been very frustrating.   Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

  Hello Staciusa,

  Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:

  Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:

  If you need assistance to change the settings of the specific router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.

• When I connect my laptop L300D to my LCD tv using VGA to VGA it works fine for a few minutes then the screens n that the laptop and TV started blinking on and outside. Can someone advise please.

  When I connect my Toshiba L300D laptop to my Samsung 40 inch lcd tv using vga to vga connection it works fine for a few minutes. Then the screens on the laptop and the TV start to turn on and turn off, also jumps around cursor. Can someone tell me what is the problem and how to correct.

  Hello

  Try changing the VGA cables and check if it helps.

  If the problem persists, then I suggest you to update the firmware.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Repeated requests to activate Windows, when I connect my laptop

  I get a message telling me that I need to activate Windows before I can move forward.  This problem seems to coincide when I upgraded my laptop to IE8.  I did this as well via the internet and by phone to generate a new ID, but the problem recurs every day.  Last weekend, I got a message saying that I should give my COA in order to proceed.  After a few trials and tribulations I soke to a support person of client who gave me a new ID number and assured me the problem would be solved.  A week later and I'm back to where I started from and had turn on my PC by calling the hotline.  I would like to know how can I solve this problem

• Can I damage my graphics card by connecting my laptop to my tv via hdmi.

  Hi, I was shopping at Best Buy and I heard someone saying that I could damage my graphics card by connecting my pc to my TV via HDMI. This is a not seem OK for me but thought I would check doube. I have a dv6-3225dx Pavilion Entertainment PC. I have windows 7 64 bit. Thank you very much

  Hello:

  I've never heard of such a claim.

  People connect external monitors and TV on their laptops all the time, that's why they are equipped with video/HDMI ports.

  Probably, there is a higher risk of damage/overheating to the graphics card for games graphics intensive video then they streaming video to an external monitor/TV.

  I would not be concerned.
