I connected my computer to dual screen: computer and TV screen and changed the Nvidia video card setup. As a result, after I disconnected the tv screen and changed the Nvidia video card setup to "single display", the computer single display started to shutdown suddenly in the middle of the work. I have to disconnect the computer display, to restart the computer and to connect the display again after the windows xp has restarted, and the display comes back.
I have been told that I have to change the xp display setup as windows starts, but I don't know how to do it, and if it is the right solution. Can someone help?
Thank you.
