I recently upgraded to windows 7 64 bit from XP. I have a geforce 8800gts with a two monitor set up. The second monitor is my hdtv, I use the 2nd monitor set up mostly for watching tv shows from hulu/network websites. I have a DVI-I cable going from the computer to the TV. The video card has DVI-I out and the TV has DVI-I in. For some reason since the update it's defaulting to analog output on the DVI-I cable rather than digital. It worked fine in xp. My main monitor is fine since it uses a DVI-D cable. The TV is a Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U.

Is there any way to tell the computer/video card to default to digital on the dvi-i cable so I don't need to waste money replacing a perfectly good cable with a DVI-D?

I tried telling the TV to only accept digital, deleted it from device manager, and restarted, but it still will only send an analog signal on that cable.
