I'm no techie, but I had this problem and was eventually able to solve it by doing
the following. First, the problem is in the video card driver, not the monitor driver.
To identify your video card, download a program called AIDA32 off the internet (type
it into Google). It's a slick program and gives the full low-down on your computer.
Run AIDA32 and identify your video card. I was then able to find the correct video
card driver off my original CD, but you could also probably find it at a site like
driverguide.com. Once you have the correct driver, right click on "My Computer"
then Properties/Device Manager/Display Adapters. Click on any drivers under the
Display Adapter and click "Remove". It'll tell you you have to reboot to remove.
Do that, and when it finds the "new" hardware and asks what driver you want to use,
use the Have Disk option and select the driver you need. That's about "all" there
is too it. Good luck, and I hope I've remembered everything.
