Hi,
I've searched through the posts and whilst I've found some posts that are 'similar' they don't quite match my request so hopefully I'm not repeating a post.
I've got an Alienware M18x R2 laptop. Running Windows Home Premium. I've just purchased 2 x 24" monitors for my deskptop. Both work via VGA (I've tested them individually). My plan was to use 1 via VGA and the 2nd via HDMI.
I have plugged the 2nd in via HDMI but Control Panel (and NVIDIA control panel) isn't picking it up. I know the cable is functioning because I've pinched the one from my TV (my wife is currently unhappy with me as I t.ype this).
I've downloaded the latest BIOS updates and also the latest NVIDIA drivers. Still to no avail.
I've read through the forums of others suffering from HDMI ports not working and also other suggestions of enabling them somehow - but none seem to offer up anything constructive.
So my questions are;
1 - Do I have to do something to enable the HDMI port so that it will be picked up?
2 - Is there a way of testing the port to see if it's functional?
I've never used these forums before - so my fingers are crossed - thanks for any help in advance.
