connecting notebook to tv

i'm trying to hook up my tv to my laptop but when i plug the connection into
the tv evrything on my laptop screen enlarges and i can only see half the
stuff thats on the screen. but when i pull the plug out the screeen goes back
to normal.
i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it so when i plug the connection
in the screen stays the same size?
Cheers

This might help.
Shut your laptop down.
Plug in the TV.
Turn your laptop on.
TV should now be available as a second monitor.
Maybe :-)
