Thanks guys.

Quick ques...

Does the monitor run in other res on other OSes?

 

[thereds]

No, I've only used it on Windows.

 

[Zoltar]

I mean like, 98 or ME?

 

[thereds]

Nope in 98 and ME, it still ran at the same res. I couldn't go higher than 1024x768.

 

[Zoltar]

Was it plug and play monitor in 98/ME as well?

 

[thereds]

Yes, sir.

 

[Azraele]

See your original thread for my reply. I wsn't able to offer much advice, but I suggested what I could.

 

[Zoltar]

What type of monitor is it?

(Honestly, I've never ever had to install monitor drivers to anything, except my laptop)

 

[thereds]

A desktop Compaq 17" monitor. Model 1525.

Compaq Presario 1525.

 

[Zoltar]

I'm going to guess for now your monitor can't do more.

POS Compaq. Sorry.

Hmm..good question
I've seen Windows install the drivers for the monitor...but never seen it ask for monitor drivers it didn't already have.

Have you tried setting it to Standard VGA monitor? I think there's a standard 1024x768 monitor driver built into Windows. Maybe you can use that until you can find the drivers

Update: Try this page and search for Monitor Information File. There's an .exe file that may have the drivers you're looking for.

 

[thereds]

Yeah, Zoltar, thats what I thought.

 

[thereds]

Yzzim, Windows doesn't ask for a driver for the monitor. It just installs my monitor as a plug 'n play monitor, which is why I think I don't get the resolution higher than 1024x768.

 

[Yzzim]

Oh, I must have read your post wrong...sorry

 

[divinemartyr]

You need the monitor's INF file which can be downloaded here.

It won't guarantee a resolution higher than this, but this is the monitor's default driver.

Good luck.

go to google.com

type in:

monitor information compaq 1525

the first result link is a specs page for that monitor that says the max resolution is 1024 x 768
