Force win7 to detect a newly connected DVI (HDMI) device without rebooting

Force win7 to detect a newly connected DVI (HDMI) device without rebooting I'm plugging my (Dell) laptop's secondary DVI port to my HDTV. Sometimes the connection is detected right away. Sometimes I have to reboot the laptop. Is there a way to ensure the newly detected laptop is available right away?

Bad connectors
Bad cable
