Change Default Monitor-------How?

[Kyosho46vr 0]

I have Win2000 and a Hitachi CM751 monitor,

however in Monitor Properties it says default monitor and I cant change anything.

There is no monitor in device manager either.

In the registry it shows the CM751. The reason I am messing with this is too use

power schemes and shut my monitor off.

 

Any thoughts???

so the monitor doesn't come up anywhere in windows? not in the device manager? display props? so how do you know its using the default monitor drivers??

anyway, try using the add new hardware feature in the control panel.

No I cant add a Monitor in device manager

In -Display properties/settings/advanced/

monitor- it says "default monitor" not my Hitachi CM751.

I appreciate any advice or thoughts!!!!

 

Thanx Ned

Same story here. My 19" Liyama would not install with built-in driver. It installs OK with the NT .inf file on the floppy that comes with the monitor. I uninstall the standard monitor that W2K seems to love, then blah-blah ... have disk ... blah ... done.

By the way, I use a RGB BNC cable to feed the video (much better at hi-res than standard VGA crap). Because of that I suspect the monitor type is not read by the OS. Hope this helps.

Ok

How do I un-install "default monitor".

I can not find any place to change or specify monitors, I must be stupid

Thanx for your help!!
