You did not mention in your email if you change the sound settings to hear sound through your hdmi connected TV? If you are not aware, you would need to use System > Preferences > Sound and alter the settings in the output tab. Most laptops have limited graphics card performance and wont get the best results when running two displays, so if you can close the laptop lid whist booting you may get better results. Otherwise I would suggest using the System > Preferences > Display control to try get the best from just having your tv as the sole display, turning off your laptop display. Once you have the right display, you should be able to just run the laptop with the lid closed. -- John Stevenson Lean Agile Consultant / Coach jr0cket.com | leanagilemachine.com
