Hi Cattlesquat,

Any Monitor will not require the specific drivers to display the picture properly; the windows operating system will have the native drivers for it.

First I’d advise you to check if you are using dual link DVI cable to connect it to the system.

Secondly, you will have to check if the video card is creating the issue and reinstall the video card drivers on the system.

Please let me know if this helps.

I'm using the exact same hardware/computer/card/dvi/etc that I was using before, only it's on another (identical) computer. The first computer had the U3011.inf, U3011.cat, U3011.icm files that came on the original disk, and the monitor worked better than it's working right now on the second computer.

The only thing that appears different is missing the Dell drivers.

Fortunately you inspired me to go look and eventually find my original Dell disk that came with the monitor.

I'm baffled though why Dell won't provide the files on its site any more and seems to deny all knowledge of them now.

ps monitor performance improved with the correct drivers or ICM file or whatever those are called.

Okay yeah that's the set of files that was on the disk - thanks. I did in fact eventually search and find my original drivers disk, and that's what was on it. FWIW the monitor performs MUCH better with the files installed than just the "plug-and-play" mode. Maybe you can get the files put back on the File Library for future folks in need? Anyway thanks!

I just purchased a U3011 and my Drivers disk was damaged.

I found the download for the files mentioned above, but I can't figure out how to install them.

They just seem to extract and the instructions don't say much else.

What do I do?

Thanks.

I figured it out. The download did not have a readme but I see other people have asked the question and found the answer:

1. Click Start-> Control Panel-> and then double-click

  Display icon.

2. In the Display Properties window, click the Settings tab, and then

  click Advanced.

3. Click the Monitor tab, and then click Properties -> Driver tab ->

  Update Driver.

4. When the Hardware Update Wizard dialog box appears, choose

  “Install from a list or specific location" and then click NEXT.

5. Check the "Include this location in the search" box.

6. Type the path to the location where the driver

  files were extracted (most likely "C:\Dell\Drivers\R82652") or use the browse button to select the location.

7. Click Next -> Finish to complete the installation.
