Thanks for your reply I said in an earlier post today that cloning the display didn't work. However I thought longer about what you said about cloning the display. As I said when I have both my TV and my monitor on everything works fine and that's how I want it. My problem happened when I turned off my TV, the TV no longer appears in my display list and is replaced with Yamaha corporation as a "display". So this what I did i made my monitor the main and cloned it with Yamaha "display" using the monitor as the source and it's now working as it should:)

Thanks for your reply My AV reciver is a Yamaha RX-V781 The setup is like this: comp to AV and Monitor(HDMI 1). then AV to TV and Monitor(HDMI 2) as the AV reciever has 2 HDMI outputs. I've tried cloning but the problem is that in the display settings i have a listing of two displays SONY TV and BENQ, if i turn the TV off it changes from SONY TV to Yamaha Corporation this somehow effects what the monitor is displaying. I suspect its because technically I have my monitor connected to my comp twice once directly to my GPU and second to the AV receiver. which is connected to connected to my monitor as well.

I have a problem with connecting my PC to my AV receiver. My PC is first connected to my AV recover and then my monitor via 2 HDMI cables from my GPU. The AV receiver is connected to the same monitor on a a different HDMI input on my monitor as well as my TV as the AV receiver has 2 HDMI outputs. Everything works fine if I have both my TV and my monitor on the same time. A problem occurs when I just want to use my monitor if i turn my TV off I can't see anything on my monitor except for the wallpaper without any icons or anything its like its on another screen that doesn't exist. I hope someone can understand what i'm saying here and can offer some assistance.
