What do you mean they don't seem to work ? Driver for the 1704 FPT http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R78777&SystemID=DIMENSION%205150/E510&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=6950&devlib=0&typecnt=1&vercnt=1&formatcnt=1&libid=22&fileid=103993

I have a 17 inch Dell LCD no driver installed, no issues to report. Most times you do not need the driver. Never used one for either my 15 - 17 - or now 24 inch LCD. Not needed. What is your issue that you need it ?

This short blurb by the Moderator was on the same subject but with the 24 incher.... Might be interested to read.

the only problem i have at the mo, with the monitor is that it has a slow refresh rate when scrolling a page. the page moves up or down in stages, rather than in one fluid motion.     i formatted my harddrive and installed all the programs , but couldnt find my systems disk with all the drivers on it, so i've downloaded all drivers but my monitor is still not quite right.   i dont know if its a driver i need or if there's something else i should be doing?

Your problem usually happens when you don't have drivers for your graphics card installed and you're running the monitor at its max resolution. Try: 1) Lowering your resolution or 2) Installing drivers / the correct driver / updated driver for your graphics card.

Agree with IsLNdbOi.   Found that out the hard way as well.  Its the graphic drivers.
