marc,
If you'd post the info on your monitor, perhaps someone could help you find a driver
for it. Without info you're stuck with what you can find.
The best Registry tool I've found is available here "FREE".
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
Download RegSeeker from this site. It has a very good search function for finding
Registry entries related to removed software. Be sure to activate the restore feature.
It creates backups of removed items prior to deleting them.
Untill you've used RegSeeker a few times, it's a good idea to do an independant backup
of your registry before you run it. I've never had a problem with Reg seeker, but
with the Windows Registry, you can't be too careful.
