Window 7 HDMI Enable

I recently stepped up to a HDTV and have connected my about 1 year old Gateway Laptop Window 8 to that via the HDMI. It was plug-and-play, did not take any action other than plugging in. Unlike the VGA plug where I have to select which screen is driven, the HDTV was on and the laptop screen remained on.

I next tried the same thing with a 4 or 5 year old Toshiba Notebook and I could not get the HDMI operational. The HDTV showed "no signal" and keying in "Fn" -"F5" had no effect.

I assume it is all under control of W7, not Toshiba-dependent.
