Symptoms

On a computer that runs Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you have a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) device that is connected.

This problem occurs in one of the following scenarios:
  • You resume the computer from sleep or from hibernation.
  • You toggle between the laptop screen and an HDMI TV screen.
  • Immediately after you unplug the HDMI cable, you plug the HDMI cable back in.
  • An application refreshes the HDMI device.
