I know what a sound card is, my point is that speakers

don’t need
drivers full stop bececasue they do not interact with other hardware
of the PC except the sound card, and then they only recive

the signel.
This is how it is with non plug-and-play monitors, monitors

when used
with a PC running windows only "need" drivers becasue

windows says
they must. In reality, they don’t need drivers at all, the
operating system just needs to know the correct specifications of
the monitor, and windows gets this information using windows
drivers.

Natruly with
plug-and-play monitors the OS will usualy automaticly detect what
monitor it is, and then use a configuration list to look up

what the
monitors correct configuration is. If , however, the monitor found
dosn’t have a matching modle/vendor etc., or the monitor

is not plug
and play complient, then most OSs (including windows) will display
using a
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_display_standard]Computer
display standard
but the user can change that at there descretion (and at they’er
own risk).


You have it arse-about-face, I'm afraid .

ALL hardware attached to a PC needs drivers - otherwise the PC
has no idea
what to do. The drivers may be embedded within the OS, or
within other
devices, but they are there. The drivers for a normal speaker
set are the
D-A convertors embedded within the soundcard (and its drivers)
- those for a
true digital speaker system are Windows (or whatever) based
(or again,
wihtin the soundcard drivers).

Windows installs DEFAULT drivers in the absence of any others
- which is
what allows your old VGA montor to work on your brand new
PCI-x card, as
well as the wonderful 42" HD plasma screen that you also
installed.

Have you ever run a system with no soundcard and tried to use
speakers?
doesn't work very well, does it?? Even the inbuilt System
Speaker (the thing
that may 'beep' on startup) needs a driver - but that's
usually provided by
the BIOS.

"ALL hardware attached to a PC needs drivers"
Power Supplies need drivers?
Speakers need drivers?
Monitors need drivers?
The case needs a driver?
A network switchs/HUBs needs a driver?
A router needs a driver? (Not including USB routers/modems)
Inernal cooling fans need drivers?
A stereo (a all in one, amplifire, tape player, cd player, radio with
aux in that is) plugged into the sound card needs drivers?

I think you will find there is quite a bit of hardware that dosn’t
requier a driver of any nature (including the monitor). What have you
got to say now?


A router is not attached to the PC - it's attached to the NIC, which is
attched to the PC - the NIC in this case provides the protocol - which is a
form of driver. Likewise hubs/switches.

Yes, the Power supply has a driver - look in Device Manager!
The case is not an electronic component and of itself does absolutely
nothing - the PC can run happily without a case.

The drivers for speakers (and/or amplifier) are provided by the sound card
Internal cooling fans do frequently have drivers - to adjust the speed of
the fan, or even just to switch on and off you just don't see them, because
they a re normally provided in the BIOS.

You're beginning to run around in circles here.....

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 ?

Not interested in the 'headers', but rather his response, Noel.

This has been answered elsewhere.

Now where do you think that might be? In windowsme.setup of course. What
confused some people was that Gunther splurged his query across several
Win Me groups but set for follow-up to the windowsme.setup group so people
such as yourself initially, seeing Gunther's post in windowsme.general,
didn't always realise that replies had already been posted and were
accumulating in windowsme.setup.

As to whether Gunther has read any of those replies, a question I think
you asked earlier, is something none of us knows.

Why not say so in the first place.
I tried to entice him to answer, with no luck, obviously.

What EXACTLY is your problem Harry? I don't even know why I bother
replying to your posts and then when I do that you make such a comment is
simply amazing. Just who do you think you are? No one is obliged to
answer your posts and after reading a comment such as the above I suspect
even less will do so now.
