    My church has an Acer Aspire R1600 desktop that they use to project the lyrics to the songs they play. In attempts to install drivers for a wireless connection i managed to uninstall a ton of other drivers, including video output/input. The computers usual output(primary monitor being the computers usual monitor connected by its usual cord[forget which type its called], and secondary monitor being the tv across the room connected by an HDMI cable fed through the walls.) went blank on both monitors once windows had loaded and i had to install the VGA drivers through safe mode. after i had done that, it would only show up in ONE of the monitors. It would either be blank in the HDMI output, but usually in the Monitor output, in which i would simply unplug the HDMI cord from the computer and the monitor would start to show the picture. After installing all of the video drivers for that specific model, i am lost at how to return the computer back to being able to send output to both primary and secondary monitors at the same time. Any suggestions and help would be great i need to have it up and running by tomorrow morning at 10:30. It is a windows xp pro, if i remember correctly.
    Thanks in advance.
