This morning I did my normal bootup procedure at work. Booted the laptop to Vista enterprise 32-bit login screen. Shut the lid which should cause the image to display on both my external monitors (one analog one DVI). For some reason though, when I close the lid on my laptop, it causes the primary monitor (the DVI one) to popup with a "input not supported" error. If I open the lid I can extend my desktop between the laptop and DVI display, but again if I close the lid it goes back to "input not supported." What would be causing this suddenly? I checked the BIOS and can't see any config option for how to handle the resolution when the lid is closed. I've tried re-installing the 360M nvidia drivers already and the issues persists. Thanks in advance for any help!
