issues with switching displays in Vista, need help...

For some reason with Windows Vista and NOT XP, when I switch displays from my MOnitor, onto my 42" TV with an HDMI cable the system hangs and freezes and blinks on and off on the TV and eventually crashes. with XP it switches to the TV with no problem. I have the 7950 GX2 and the latest NVIDIA drivers. The only way to actually get it on my TV is boot with my TV on, then it works, but if I go to switch back to my monitor it's fine. but if i switch back to the TV it freezes, I don't understand why this is happening, it makes no sense.

Help me please.

yes I have the latest drivers from the nvidia site.

merlinxi, sorry I haven't got an answer for you, but I do feel it is likely that this is Vista-based problem you're having. You may get more responses in the Vista forum. Maybe drop a mod a line requesting this thread be moved to the Vista forum...

On the other hand it could be poor Nvidia vista drivers. (Apparently this may be an issue)
