Win2k not showing monitor in device manager

Boballoo · 09-25-2005, 06:32 PM

I have reinstalled Win 2k and when I try to install the monitor driver (ACER AC713.inf) And go to the device manager there are no monitors or display devices in the list. I tried using Add/Remove hardware but when I get to the Locate Driver step and go to the driver location I get the error "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware". I have the latest driver from the ACER Web site and have contacted the ACER support but they don't answer. How can I locate the monitor in the device manager?

What happens when you do this.

Control Panel > Display > Settings > advanced > monitor

Or right click your desktop > properties > settings > advanced > monitor
