Need driver for a Sony monitor !!

[Gia]

I can't no more use ones came with the Sony's floppy and I really don't find the driver on Sony's website.... It's the CPDE400 and all I got online it's INF files for Win 95 !! Now I am on a Plug&Play driver of WinME . All is OK but I can't change the resolution between 60 and 85Hz... When I had the driver from the floppy I had several choice... Well thanx and hope you can understand my english...

Did you try the *.inf file from here? It looks like this is the original floppy that comes with the monitor. It has the *.inf file which should work under WinME.

Well this is the files I have saw but I was thinking it was for Win 95 I have downloaded it and I dont't recognise there a file for me..

You can't use the Sonymon.inf file?

Did you uncompress 'SONYMINF.EXE'? In there should be the Sonymon.inf file which should work for WinME.

Must I do all the intallations steps -including copy the files to a floppy- ? It's seems to me unsual way to install a driver ??

Go into the Device Managers (Right Click on My Computers and go to properties).
Go to Monitors --> double click on Sony CPDE400 --> Click on the "Driver" Tab --> Then click on 'Update Driver'

You should 'search for a suitable driver for my device' and 'specify location'. When you specify the location, point it to the directory where you uncompressed your files. Then simply choose the Sonymon.inf file. Hopefully, WinME will accept this *.inf file.

By the way, those are the steps under Win2K but it shoud be similar in WinME.

Wow! It works... I knew the way to change the driver .. but thank you for your help.. It was the info page by Sony about Win 95 that disturb me... Now I have the Hz come back...

WinME is based on Win95 and Win98 so the *.inf files should be compatible.
Congratulations!
