no second monitor/Sony Vaio PCG-FRV26

sickD · 09-08-2009, 09:26 PM

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FRV26. I am trying to connect a video projector to use as a second monitor. I can currently project my main desktop but when I go to control panel/displays/settings- there is no option to select a second monitor.
When I go to Device Manager there is no option for display adapters or secondary display adapter.
Where can I download a driver for a secondary monitor?
I also notice that in the Device Manager the selection- '? other devices" includes; PCI Modem and "Video Contoller (VGA Compatible)" with yellow ?!
(question marks)
Do I need drivers for these also -if so where can I get them?
Device Instance Id for "Video Contoller (VGA Compatible)" is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4337&SUBSYS_8158104D%REV_00\4&1930D262&072808
I have tried to "reinstall driver" but the wizard cannot find the driver...do I need original system install discs maybe? I also am not connected to the internet on this computer.
I have looked for the drivers on:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu...V26#div_pos_66

and there are some drivers there but none seem to pertain to monitor or additional monitor drivers. Is there another name for the driver?
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!

The drivers are on the same page you linked too, under Video. Download the one from 10/15/2003 and install that or just click this link

That should allow you to do what you want.
