Ok I have a digital LCD monitor that seems to only work with the default LCD @1024x768 (which is fine by me) however windows wants to keep installing a different driver which is causing display problems.
So without getting into to much detail I need the monitor.inf that works best (meaning I need the actual file so I can store it somewhere).
The problem is if I go into device manager and look at my monitors drivers there are no details to look at so I cant tell what driver it's using.

Any ideas?

Try using the Windows "Generic 1280x1024" settings. If your manufacturer doesn't have drivers for XP, there's other websites to find drivers on, but monitor drivers don't usually monitor unless there is some problem. Try Google :)

I got it, I used a driver backup utility. I just installed the good driver and then backed it up, now I have a copy:D



Thanks for everyone's help;)
