Most likely what you need is a video card driver and not a monitor driver; you may want to check with your system manufacturer for the correct video drivers for your video card/chipset.
ok first of all the monitor he is talking about needs a driver to keep the main board getting all the info it needs to send it to the tube ..second video cards have drivers that do diff things than the monitor inf's do but yes they do both work together to give you the best picture and refresh rate you need...now he needs the driver for that monitor let me see if i can find it in my file list and see if i can get it to him...
If you have Windows 2000/XP, then it should find it. However, Win98 does not, so you will have to go into the device manager and choose it from the list. The driver is on the Win98 disk; however, it will initially see it as a plug and play monitor.
How to set it:
Right click on My Computer, left click on device manager, expand the monitor group, right click on the monitor listed in that group (should be Plug and Play or something like that), left click on properties, left click on driver, left click on Update Driver, left click on next for the first screen, choose the second option (Display a list of all the drivers...) and left click on next for the next screen, choose Show all hardware and then for Manufacturer scrool down and select Dell Computer Corp., in the models section scroll down and choose Dell D1028L (or, whatever your monitor type), left click on Next, left click on next again, left click on finish, left click on close, left click on close, and your done!
It takes about a minute if you are computer literate. If not, then you may want to get a book or a CD and study up on how to use Win98 (or, whatever OS you have).
