Hi, Bob I,
I have downloaded the driver for the display adapter at
HP web site, but Window 2000 didn't recognize it. The
monitor I have is HP v72 17" monitor, and the drive I
downloaded was "HP v 72 inch display." I don't know
whether the driver that I downloaded was wrong, or it was
due to Windows problem. Can you give more detailed
instructions? Thanks.
