Just reformated, how do I get PC to recognize Dell 2405 as monitor...

[digitalduck]

Ok, havent reformated in a while so i cant remember what I did since i first bought my 2405, but I was forced to because of a system32 file that became corrupt. Anyway, now everything is back up and running, but how can i get my system to recognize the 2405 as my monitor of choice instead of plug and play monitor. I think it saw it last time, but i cant be sure...

Also, im using windows media player 10 with driver version 91.47 but all the videos appear small (4' x 3') very dark and almost negative but when I open them up in divx player most of them appear fine. Im not quite sure what is causing that one since im just now reinstalling everything.

Thanks

I got the same problem with media player.

Made me go back to the 91.31 drivers.

I recall the 2405 did not come with a driver disc. But available from Dell here.

Run Windows Update. Under the driver section you should get a monitor driver. Or just do what post above said.
