[robrowboski]

Yeah i got the monitor cd and it gives me a list of drives but they ask me which program to open them with and i say to let windows use the internet to find the rite one and it comes back as unknown file and i have a nvidia  fx 5200 as the video card i think i'll repost it if im wrong

i got the monitor cd

When you pop it in, it doesn't start automatically with installation?

[robrowboski]

no it gives me the main screen and when i press install driver it open up the files on the cd and there are like 15 or so and when i  try and run any of them it just says it dosent know what program to use

[Broni]

Go to Device manager, right click on your monitor, click Update Driver, and point it to the CD.
What is the make, and model of that monitor?

[robrowboski]

it's  a proview  wide scrren 19' in lcd monitor 1440x900 aspect ratio ,and is the device manager in the start up menu?

[Broni]

Go Start>Run, type in:
devmgmt.msc
Click OK.

[Broni]

You didn't give me model number, so, go here:
http://www.proview.net/Support/Download.aspx, anter your model number, and Driver under Material(what a name??)

[robrowboski]

Well it says that i have all the most updated stuff in device manager and when i download the file from the site i get the same list as always so i right click on the icon's and they give me the option to uninstall the icc profile, so does that mean i have all the updated things on it?

[Broni]

Well it says that i have all the most updated stuff in device manager

It doesn't matter what it says. Click on Update driver, and point installation wizard toward your CD location.

i download the file from the site i get the same list as always

What list? What is the model number? I'd like to see that file you download.

[robrowboski]

ok i did the update driver and it says no new hardware found and the model no. is  pl926wbi

[Broni]

i did the update driver and it says no new hardware found

You're doing something wrong.
When you right click on your monitor in Device Manager, and click Update Driver, what is the very next screen, that opens up?

I'll check on that download.

[robrowboski]

ok i  click on monitor's and click update driver and then it goes to the hardware update wizard and it gives me the options of   can windows conect to windows update to search for software then i click yes this time then next screen it says this will help you find software for plug and play monitor :if your harddick came with an installtion cd or floppy insert now  " so i put the cd in i go to advance and tell it to search the cd for updates and software it searches for awhile and it says the wizard could not find a better match

[Broni]

Do it again. This time point it to a location where you saved downloaded driver: PL926Wbi

[robrowboski]

ok well now it it says under monitors in device manager 19inch lcd 926 w
but when i was selecting it windows said that it was not digitally signed  but i did it anyway and it says it's done but it looks no dif to me

Restart your computer.
What is the screen resolution set up to?
Next step, download, and unstall fresh driver for your video card.
