I have Win2000 and a Hitachi CM751 monitor,
however in Monitor Properties it says default monitor and I cant change anything.
There is no monitor in device manager either.
In the registry it shows the CM751. The reason I am messing with this is too use
power schemes and shut my monitor off.
Any thoughts???
Ned

No I cant add a Monitor in device manager
In -Display properties/settings/advanced/
monitor- it says "default monitor" not my Hitachi CM751.

Same story here. My 19" Liyama would not install with built-in driver. It installs OK with the NT .inf file on the floppy that comes with the monitor. I uninstall the standard monitor that W2K seems to love, then blah-blah ... have disk ... blah ... done.
By the way, I use a RGB BNC cable to feed the video (much better at hi-res than standard VGA crap). Because of that I suspect the monitor type is not read by the OS. Hope this helps.
