Are there drivers for TFT screen under WinME/Win)8 available ?
I am thinking about to buy a TFT screen for an older PC on which a WinME resp. Win98 is running.
Are there drivers available for these old WinOS? Or is the minimum Win2000 required to use TFT screens ? Gunter |

Gunter,
In virtually all cases no special drivers are required for a TFT screen just as none are usually required for a CRT monitor. I have had 15" and 17" TFT monitors connected to my Win Me system here and in neither case installed any monitor drivers. -- Mike Maltby Gunter Hansen wrote: I am thinking about to buy a TFT screen for an older PC on which a WinME resp.

Win ME will see most TFT screens a 'Plug and Play' monitors - and should
have no problems with them. Check out the manufacturer's website before buying, though! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Gunter Hansen" wrote in message ...

When you install a driver for your monitor, all you are doing is telling windows what the monitore is capable of (resolution, depth, refresh rate etc.) there is no need to install drivers for monitors, providing the monitor displays what is ment to be displayed. -- Posted using the http://www.windowsforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.windowsforumz.com/drivers...ict433678.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Somewhat incorrect - *some* monitors DO need external drivers - all actually
need drivers, but most are classed as Plug and Play, so the minimum required drivers are already included in the system. More often than not, if the screen shows the wrong resolution, then it's a problem with the Graphics card drivers, rather than the Monitor drivers - but NOT, by any means, always! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Sparda" wrote in message news:1457838_e7d8d9f5ec90cafde6cfad5105d16070@wind owsforumz.com...

Just to confirm Noel's info, my TFT does not display at full capability if not using its own driver. Zee "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

Report abuse: http://www.windowsforumz.com/eform.php?p=1457838 "all actually need drivers" No they don’t, the graphics card out puts a standerdized signel, the operating system just "tells" the graphics card what to show, it proccess what is to be displayed, and out puts it as a standared single (this applies for both RGB and DVI). Want more proof? I have a monitor this is not plug and play compliant (it’s quite a few years old) and hence is not detected by windows, how ever this dose not matter as it meets the RGB standars set years befor it was built, which means it will work with any modern PC providing it has a RBG out. Aditionaly, since it is not detected by windows, windows alows the graphics card to be set to any resolution it supports. (even though the monitor only supports 1024X768 at 62Hz maximum). http://sparda.hopto.org/display.png http://sparda.hopto.org/refresh.png Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

This is becasue windows is using the wrong driver, and hence forth limits the graphics card with the wrong configurtion. If you forced windows to use the default monitor driver, it should alow you to use all resolutions depths and refresh rates the graphics card supports.
