    How do I install LG Flatron W1642S screen?
    « on: June 21, 2009, 01:51:23 AM »
    (using Windows XP)

    Morning everyone!

    According to the instructions, I insert the driver CD then go to Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -> Advanced -> Monitor.

    There I'm supposed to click on "Properties", and install the monitor there.

    But the "Properties" button is not clickable in my case, and under Monitor Settings I can only select "Use hardware default setting".

    Do you know how I can install this monitor?

      Install it via Device Manager:

      Right Click 'My Computer' > Manage > Device Manager

      Expand the 'Monitors' section, right click the item that's in the monitors category and select 'Update Driver'.

        Thank you for the response;  there's nothing called "Monitor" but I found a yellow exclamation mark next to "Video Controller". 

        Is this what's causing the problem?  Do you have some advice?  Here's a screen capture:

        Are you using onboard video or do you have a vid card installed ? ?
        You are missing the drivers.
        The PC should have shipped with a Drivers CD...
        If not DLoad  install and run Everest Home (Free) and post only the Computer Summary portion here...
        We'll take a look.

          Thank you patio!  Everest Home told me the name of the video card so I could search for its drivers. 

          After installing them it also gave me the option to update the monitor driver so I could finally update it with the correct drivers from the monitor CD. 

          It's still not displaying the correct widescreen ratio but I think now it's the video card (VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP 64MB) that cannot do the right widescreen resolution ratio?

          Very possible...
          The website will have the specs listed.

          Isn't Everest neat ? ?

           ;)
