Catch-22 when installing Logisys LGX750 monitor
Hello, I've used a lot of monitors, and they've never needed anything special, until now. Recently I got a used Logisys LGX750. The problem is: when Windows 98SE boots up, it tries to install the monitor as new hardware. But it can't find the driver. SO I tell windows to ignore it, and everything is fine until I boot up next time. I found and downloaded the driver. The download is in *.exe format, meaning that this file will self-extract the driver. When I try to run it, it stops and says that the monitor isn't installed! I have to install the monitor before I can extract the driver! (But I thought installing a device *included* getting the driver.) Meanwhile, the monitor works well enough. How can I "install" this thing? Thanks for all help, Ted Shoemaker EXCUSES Perfecting the art of imperfection for 6000 years! |

I would suspect that the message from the installation EXE file is referring
to the physical connection of the monitor to the system, not the existence of a Windows device. However, that doesn't explain why the extract function doesn't see the monitor as connected. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Ted Shoemaker" wrote in message ...
