Somewhat incorrect - *some* monitors DO need external
drivers - all
actually
need drivers, but most are classed as Plug and Play, so the
minimum
required
drivers are already included in the system.

More often than not, if the screen shows the wrong
resolution, then it's a
problem with the Graphics card drivers, rather than the
Monitor drivers -
but NOT, by any means, always!

I am thinking about to buy a TFT screen for an older
PC on
which a WinME resp. Win98 is running.
Are there drivers available for these old WinOS?

Or is the minimum Win2000 required to use TFT screens
?

Monitors don’t need drivers. When you install a driver
for your
monitor, all you are doing is telling windows what the
monitore is
capable of (resolution, depth, refresh rate etc.) there is
no need to
install drivers for monitors, providing the monitor
displays what is
ment to be displayed.

This is becasue windows is using the wrong driver, and hence forth
limits the graphics card with the wrong configurtion. If you forced
windows to use the default monitor driver, it should alow you to use
all resolutions depths and refresh rates the graphics card supports.
