Guest Stan Hilliard Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 XP Pro SP2 My LCD monitor has both analog and digital modes. At startup, the monitor sometimes sets to one mode, sometimes the other. Digital looks best except it causes some media players like Miro and VLC media players have a blacked out video screen. I am suspicious about the drivers. I have updated the drivers for my GeForce FX 5500 Graphics card and the my ViewSonic VA912b monitor. But I installed them without uninstalling the old. Graphics card driver: In device manager the driver for the display adapter is NVIDIA, v8.4.2.1, 3/9/2005 Driver install file: 84.21_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe Monitor Drivers: Device manager shows two identical "default monitors" and two identical "ViewSonic VA912-4 series". Driver for "Default Monitor": (Microsoft) v5.1.2001, 6/6/2001 Driver for "ViewSonic VA912-4 Series" monitor: (ViewSonic) v1.5.0.0, 10/26/2005 Driver install file: Standard_Monitor_Driver_Unsigned_080519.exe The display settings are set for a second monitor, not connected, from when I tried unsuccessfully to send a wireless connection to my TV. [control panel] [display] [settings] shows both monitors as ViewSonic also, which is wrong. The second monitor (wireless to TV) is on a VGA port and should be analog. The [control panel] [display] [settings] listbox for the second display has two identical "ViewSonic" options. How can I make one of them the "default monitor" driver, which I assume is analog? (Similarly for display #1) Q -- How should I handle the driver situation. Information/Advice would be appreciated, Stan Hilliard
