I need 64bit drivers for Dell 2001fp

dajeepster · May 18, 2005

I just built an AMD 64 3000+ with dual 6800GT's running SLI. I'm running WinXP 64bit in a RAID0 setup with2 74g Raptors. I found drivers for everything but the 2001fp. Does anyone know where I can find the drivers for the Dell2001fp? Help would greatly be appriciated.

Thanks... tried those channels and still couldn't locate any.

Since when did monitors require drivers?..

it's a piece of hardware. Hardware requires drivers. If you look under display, it will list what type of monitor you have. Right now, mine says plug and play, plug and play suck for high end graphics.

Nothinman · May 19, 2005

Most monitors report their capabilities via DDC, which is how "Plug and Play Monitor" works. What currently sucks about your 'high end graphics'?

I would be more worried by the fact that it's a piece of hardware from Dell...

the flicker is annoying. Only the monitor is from dell. The rest of the parts were from Newegg. Spent an hour online chat with dell support... they were of no help.

Nothinman · May 19, 2005

AFAIK most monitor 'drivers' for Windows are just inf files describing the monitor's capabilities, did you try the one you used in XP32?

dajeepster · May 19, 2005

tried that. It won't accept those

Probably the immature graphic card driver.

^^^agreed

the "flicker" is normally experienced because of a low refresh rate on a CRT monitor, though LCD's operate differently, try uping the refreshrate anyway, i have a 2005fpw coming but currently running a 17" Sylvania (KDS Panel?) and no matter hwat videocard i have used, 6600gt pcie, 6600gt agp, 5950ultra agp, 9800xt agp, i have flickering in the bottom right hand corner of the screen with some weird vibrating lines at 60hz refresh rate, bumping it to 70 (can't go over that) fixes the problem and monitor works great. Thnk back when you use to use a CRT monitor and just got done installing windows and didn't have proper video drivers installed yet, the screen would be locked in at 60hz refresh rate causing a horrible flickering effect that most, but not all, of us notice, along with lag in video, games, and simple webpage scrolling.

Nothinman is correct 2/3. As long as you have proper working drivers installed the monitor reports its capabilities (ex what refrsh rates etc it can support) to the computer and most monitor drivers are .inf that basically just add a decscription in device manager which is handy i suppose if you have multiple monitors and for whatever reason need to know which is which in the device manager. Nothinman is wrong however in the "hardware from dell" comment lol they seem to put together some damn good monitors along with great PDA's and ok mp3 players though i wouldn't touch anything else.

I don't think it's my video card drivers, I'm always updating my drivers and have never come accross this being caused by my video card drivers. I'm pretty sure it's the monitor drivers. I had the same problem on XP x32 system until I installed the monitor driver. I can't change my current refresh rate from 60Hz. That's where my main problem lies. It doesn't even allow me to see "unsupported" refresh rates. What the flickering is, is blanking out of the entire screen sporadically. I have one system that this was corrected when I installed the monitor drivers. That system was running XP x32.

BillyBatson · May 19, 2005

just because you have the latest drivers doesn't mean they are working properly, keep in mind you are running 64bit drivers and though being available have much to be desired especially in the area of SLI.
it still sounds like a vidcard problem because installing the drivers for a monitor even if needed for some crazy reason wouldn't allow you to change the refreshrate that is all vidcard. Onlyother thign on the cd would be a configuration utility for the monitor and that won't help you either
I would look for others who are running XP64 and a PCIe nvidia card, and if you an fine one, someone running SLI and see what problems they ahve encountered with video settings

The Plug 'n Play drivers are fine as long as the monitor can properly report it's capabilities.
Running my Eizo F931 at 1600x1200@100 Hz using said drivers, working just fine.

"installing the drivers for a monitor even if needed for some crazy reason wouldn't allow you to change the refreshrate"

The whole problem is I can't install drivers for the monitor. It doesn't matter which drivers I install for the video cards. I still have the same issue, I can't change video refresh rate for my monitor. It's not the drivers, whether I get them from nvidia or a 3rd party. I'm having issues with my monitor settings because I can't change the refresh rate because I don't have x64 bit drivers for the 2001fp monitor. At 1600x1200 I can't change my refresh rating from 60Hz.

Sunner-
what OS are you using?
I'm running WinXP Pro x64. The current drivers i'm running right now are from www.guru3d.com. With those drivers I have SLI capabilities with x64.
My monitor can't properly report it's capabilities if there aren't the correct drivers to do so.
I'm running 2 Asus 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 video cards. Asus does not have x64 drivers available yet, but i'm sure they are working on them.

Sunner · May 19, 2005

Running XP.
Thing is, the monitor will report it's capabilities through DDC, which is why monitors don't need drivers as long as they stay with this spec, and the fact that it's showing up as "Plug and Play Monitor" as opposed to "Default monitor" or some such indicates that it is working as intended.

A quick check of the 2001fp specs state that 60Hz is the max refresh rate for 1600x1200, any higher and you will be running the monitor out of spec, which is why you don't have a higher refresh rate option.

The next question is - are your graphics cards in spec? If your cards are sending a signal slightly over 60 Hz, you will be out of spec and could have problems. The Nvidia Advanced Timing feature can assign a custom refresh rate.

And you wonder why you have a problem.

That would certainly explain it.

BOOOOOO!

Nothing wrong with Dell monitors at all. Beautiful monitors.

i understand that and i am sayign the reason you most likely can't is being there might be a bug with the 64bit video drivers and it isn't because you are missing monitor drivers

I have a dell 2001fp and winxp pro x64.

BFG 6800GT 256meg. Most current drivers.

I have no flicker.

If you are using DVI cable, you will not ever be able to run over 60hz. That is the only refresh rate for that monitor in DVI. I also have to say that I love my 2001fp, but I can't wait to get the 2405fp. I seen my friends and now I have to have one.
