    Hi,

    Don't know if anyone can help me with this problem, but I'll ask anyway.

    I have my laptop (Vostro 1500) connected to my sony hdtv to watch videos.
    Earlier today I accidently started a game while viewing my laptop on my hdtv, and it seems that the game was set to start in a resolution my tv didn't like and reset back to the laptop screen.

    Now whenever I try and change to my tv it says "format unsupported - please adjust your pc settings"

    Anyone know how I can fix this problem? Have I messed up my tv, or the laptop?

    if you haven't already, i would recommend trying to check your resolution?

    are you mirroring or extending desktop?

    i don't think your TV would get messed up.
