I have several HP laptops with Win XP and Win 7 (64-bit) and an HDMI output.  We mostly use the VGA outputs because the HDMI doesn't work with a DVI connection to our scan converters and many displays; the output is disabled.  I have gotten it to work with some LCD monitors using the HDMI input and also with DVI.  But if you play a DVD, the port goes dead.  Obviously the HDMI port is using HDCP and that always causes me a headache.
