Re: New monitor driver?

the graphic 'card' is integrated on the motherboard

How you install / update the vid.driver depends on the vid display that you have.
What is your graphic card, or is it onboard (ie part of the motherboard)

Thanks for the quick reply David.
Sorry if I'm sounding stupid, but the only way I know to uninstall or install a driver is through control panel, display, settings, .... If the properties button is grayed out/ disabled, how can I install a new driver?
Why would the properties button be disabled in the first place? I'm guessing that there is no driver installed. maybe?

Thanks
Tom

Have you installed the proper video card drivers? Maybe un uninstall and reinstall of them would be a good place to start.

I recently had to reinstall Win XP Professional (sp2). Everything went smoothly except for the monitor. I originally had an old crt type monitor connected. resolution is 640 X 480. When I connect a flat panel display, I can't change the resolution. I opened control panel
double click 'display'
click 'Settings' tab
click 'Advance' button
click the 'monitor' tab
the monitor type is "default" and the 'Properties' button is grayed out.

I have a driver for a flat panel monitor, but how can I install the driver if the 'properties' button is disabled?


Thanks
Tom
