Why do I need a Monitor driver
Im running Win98SE. I just got a different monitor, and temporarily
moved my former one to another computer. Everytime I boot now, it keeps asking me to install a driver for this monitor. I dont have the driver, but I'm sure I could find it online. Yet, WHY? The monitor works fine. This just seems like another time waster, not to mention that I may switch back to my old monitor. It's annoying to have this thing popping up everytime I reboot. Aside from going thru the whole hassle to find the driver, is there a way to shut off this request for the driver? A monitor driver seems totally senseless anyhow...... Just plug it in and it works!!! It's a newer flat screen LCD monitor, so I'm sure it's not on the Win98 CD. |

What happens when you go into Control Panel and select System, Device Manager, and then select the monitor item, and then click on Properties, Driver, and let it try to find the closest driver match already on your system? I'm not sure if that will clear its request or not, but you could try it. I just tried this. The funny thing is that it still has a driver for a monitor that died about 4 or 5 years ago. That was an old CRT monitor. The one I've used since then was a LCD type (Dell). I never got asked for a driver for that one. This one I just installed is a HP. Anyhow, when I click on properties, it keeps trying to install a different driver for that old CRT monitor. If I disable that monitor in the settings, I dont have access to "Properties". I guess I'm either gonna have to find the right driver, or keep clicking "close" everytime I boot.... (annoying as hell). |
