WTF HALP

I recently purchased a mini-DVI to VGA adapter so I'd be able to watch Hulu in full-screen on my TV. It worked awesome until this afternoon. I installed a Mac OS update and rebooted with the cable still plugged in; it hasn't worked properly since.

Now, the only picture appearing on the TV screen is of my desktop background. The shortcuts and cursor don't display on the TV screen, but appear just fine on my Macbook. Even fullscreen Hulu programs play just fine on the book while plugged in, but the image doesn't update on the TV screen.

But I want my big screen and surround sound!

How do I get it back?

I don't want to have to buy another cable, unless I have to. Thanks for your help!

I'm hoping you tried this already, but just in case:

System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement -> Mirror Displays

lol

you can drag the broswer window to either the left or right of your screen (or maybe bottom) and put it on the TV to watch it. This is your "extended desktop" mode.
