I Googled L-171 drivers and it appears this Monitor is used by quite a few comp makers. It was originally supplied with drivers but I cannot find any. Having said that I have never used drivers on an LCD monitor. I set the size and then the refresh rate @ 60hz. I just press the Auto button.
I copied this from somewhere else.( Forum rules prevent me from saying where?) .
:Use the "Digital Flat Panel 1280 x 1024" driver which is included in Windows itself, for the monitor (you don't even need the CD).Make sure the refresh rate is 60Hz.

reinstall your video driver and see if that makes a difference
in the device manager uninstall the video card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer
