Help please CRT monitor on XP
Hi,
I just brought a 19in CRT monitor, GNR Haier HV900CS 19ins CRT 0.25mm 1600x1200@75hz Monitor. However windows XP won't recognise the drivers, and I am unable to find an XP driver on the net. Since using the monitor I have had the computer freeze on me. Could this be the monitor, or do I have another problem? XP is running the monitor as a plug in and play monitor. Thanks for reading this. Paul |

Help please CRT monitor on XP
The monitor makers website does not offer XP drivers for the unit? If not,
you are likely stuck using the generic Windows drivers. The freezing will be a different issue. The monitor does not actually talk to Windows so it is unlikely to be the source of the freezing problem. "paul johnson" wrote in message . uk...

On no signal the monitor will put itself into standby.
P.S. A monitor is an output device that displays what it is given. Windows doesn't care less what monitor if any is connected and does not communicate directly with it. -- Jonah "paul johnson" wrote in message k...

Thanks Sleepless, In the hours since posting this message I checked the whole computer and found a problem on the motherboard. The FSB settings were out giving the wrong CPU recognition XP1500 instead of XP2100. Since fixing this, so far everything seems ok. Its strange the only thing I thought I had changed was installing the new monitor. Thanks for your help, Paul |

Thanks for the advise Peter, I had always asumed you could connect (almost) any monitor to any PC. As it turns out I think this was a separate problem that coincided with the new monitor. Thanks again Paul |

Windows doesn't care less what monitor if any is connected and does not communicate directly with it. With one or two ATI driver releases, disconnecting a DVI monitor would cause a BSOD, immediately and with 100 % certainty. I'm not aware of the details in the DVI protocol, but I imagine the back stream to the computer is very limited, but maybe more than in VGA. /Carl |
