    I think you have to change the display settings to duplicate instead of extend.

    when my laptop is connected to the tv via hdmi cable, it makes an audible sound and all the icons go enlarged and then it is shown on the tv, have you got the correct hdmi channel selected

    SET pc resolution to 720x576, dvd movie res, or 1024x768,set pc display propertys,advanced, to grahics adaptor.card to
    refresh rate ,60mhz.You probably have pc set at 1200x100,which hdtv is not set up for.
    Read tv manual pc tv input settings.
    try 720 resolution first.TRY using vga in if the tv has a vga interface ,its designed for pcs.
    vga=15 hole interface.AND you have to turn on external pc display,usually fn plus function key,f7,
    look for function key with 1 or 2 squares ,tv logo.
